HAD SUBSTITUTE FOR "WEED'
Ancient Romans Used Cotsfoot az
Remedy and Also IS Tobacco,
Says Writer.

The fumes of dried coltsfoot were
used as remedy in case of difficulty
in breathing, both in ancient Roman
times and in Tudor England. Lyle,
In his translation, 1878, of Dodoens'
Historic of Plants" says of coltsfoot:
THE perfume Of the dryed leaves layde
upon quicke coles, taken into the
mouth through the pipe of funnel,
or tunnel, helpeth suche as are trCu-
bled with the Shortness of winde and
fetche their breath thicke or often, and
do breake without daunger the impos
tens of the breast
The leaves of coltsfoot and other
plants have often been used as q sub
stitute for tobacco in modern days. A
correspondent of Notes and Queries, in
1897, said that when ne was a boy
he knew an old Calvinist minister who
used to smoke a dry mixture of the
leaves of horehound, yarrow and
''foalsfoot" intermingled with a small
quantity of tobacco. He said it was
very good substitute for the genuine
article.
Similar mixtures, or the leaves Of
coltsfoot alone, have often been
smoked in bygone days by folk who
could not afford to smoke tobacco only.
