In cases of chronic catarrhal and asthmatic affections, and very generally with evident advantage.--_Mat. Med. and Thur._, 2, 154. _Ives._--The root loses its pungent taste, and appears to be nearly inert in a few weeks after it is gathered. I prepared, however, an alcoholic extract some years ago, by digesting the fresh roots and evaporating the tincture in the sun, which possessed and retained all the acrimony of the recent root. The fresh leaves are actively rubefacient.--_Pharmacologia_, p. 147. _Smith._--Skunk cabbage is not only a good anti-spasmodic in all cases where such are indicated, but it is also a powerful emmenagogue, anthelmintic, and a valuable remedy in dropsy, in spasms, rheumatism, palpitations, etc. It is frequently used in childbed to promote the birth. * * * * For expelling worms, the pulverized root should be administered in molasses for a sufficient length of time, following it up with a purge.--_Op. cit._, p. 511. _Rafinesque._--Powerful anti-spasmodic, expectorant, incisive, vermifuge, menagogue, sudorific, etc. Used with success in spasmodic asthmas and coughs, hysterics, pertussis, epilepsy, dropsy, scurvy, chronic rheumatism, erradic and spasmodic pains, parturition, amenorrhoea, worms, etc.--_Op. cit._, 2, 230. III. THE HOMOEOPATHIC BIBLIOGRAPHY.[L] [L] The definite article is used because it is believed to be complete, thanks to the scholarship and courtesy of Dr. Henry M. Smith, of New York. To him, also, am I indebted for the original text of _Pothos foet._ from the _Correspondenzblatt_. 1837. _Correspondenzblatt der Hom. Aerzte_, January 18th, 2d part, No. 1, p. 6. Allentown, Pa. Hering, Humphreys, and Lingen. 1843. _Symptomus Kodex_, vol. 2, p. 392. Jahr. (Taken from the _Correspondenzblatt_, and not correctly.) _Handbuch der Hom. Arzneimittellehre_, vol. 3, p. 613. Noack and Trinks. (Taken from the _Correspondenzblatt_, and incompletely.) 1847. _Manual of Hom. Mat. Met.--Jahr._ Translated by Curie, 2d ed., vol. 1, p. 462. London. (This is the first appearance of the Allentown "abstract of symptoms" in English. _Curie_ credits his _data_ to some "United States' Journal," probably meaning the _Correspondenzblatt_. His translation is erroneous, and yet, up to date, it is the fullest source of information for him who reads English only.) 1848. _New Manual or Symptomen Codex.--Jahr._ Translated by Hempel, vol. 2, p. 573. (This is a singularly incomplete translation from the German _Kodex_, with no reference to any source. A literal copy of this translation is all there is of _Pothos foet._ in the _Encyclopædia_. It omits the only symptom in the _Correspondenzblatt_ abstract that made my application of this remedy not purely empirical.) 1851. _Jahr's New Manual._ Edited by Hull, 3d ed., vol. 1, p. 797. 1851. _Characteristik der Hom.
