American indians Gathered Plant for
Their Chests-Cailed "Indian
Tobacco"

American Indians found one plant
growing in damp woods, handsome IN
spikes of pale blue flowers, which they
used rs medicine.
When the white man came the same
plant won the favor both Of the apoth-
ecary and the gardener, but the gar
dener has paid more attention to its
cultivation than has the apOthecary.
Hence we know it more as q flower
than as Il drug. 1t is" the lObelia,
named for Matthias Lobel, a Flemish
physician and botanist, says the Phil
adClphia North American.
The medicinal substance in the plant
is called lObelin, an alkalOid. although

HE abOrigineS led the early settlers to
call it Indian tobacco"
When it is cultivated for commerce
he seeds are scattered on the sur
face Of the ground late in fall or early
in spring. They terminate early In
spring and send down roots.
When the flowers are blooming the
plants are cut and dried in the shade.
An acre of good soil will yield 1000
to 1000 pounds of herbs.
