ROD AS A REMEDY
Plant Dedicated to St. Augustine of
Hippo Was Once Used by
Physicians.

st. Augustine Of Hippo, The great
doctor Of the church whose festival
fell on August IS, is a sadly neg
leeted saint among modern ritual
lists. and even occasionally confused
with the namosake who insulted eur
British bishops. Yet he is pro-
nouneed by Hooker "without any
equal" and regarded by llarnack
as 'the first modern man. He has
been better honored in the floral
world, for to him is dedicated the
golden rod or wound wort (Solida-
go yirgaurea.) Old Gerarde, with
whim this was a favorite remedy,
tells us that golden rod fetched a
high price as a foreign herb until
discovered growing neal London,
when the plant was neglected. He
adds the oaustic comment: This
yerilieth our English proyerb Far
fetcht and dear bought is best for
ladies' or for fantastical physi-
cians." Before tobacco the golden
rod also furnished snuff for our me-
dieyal forefathers. - Westminster
