(This from a paper by Dr. W. H. Ramey in _Medical Gleaner_): It is a specific, I think, for the condition of the system which sets up the boil habit. I never have found a case so bad, and I've had some very severe ones, that an ounce and a half of _Echinacea_, taken in ten-drop doses four times a day, would not cure. Try it in your cases of stomatitis with depraved conditions of the system, both internally and locally. It has done me valuable service in cases of old ulcers and unhealthy sores, both as local and internal treatment. Then in your typhoid cases, with the characteristic indication, it is simply a wonderful remedy. I have seen it step in and restore normal conditions when it seemed impossible for remedies to act quick enough to prevent a fatal termination. (Dr. S. J. Hogan in _Chicago Medical Times_): One other thing I would like to tell about it: I had a case I was treating. Among other things, the patient had on the scalp and at the margin of the hair on the back of the head a number of wen-like tumors; since taking _Echinacea_ they have been entirely absorbed. (Dr. Joseph Adolphus in _Medical Gleaner_): I have seen its very beneficial action in two epidemics of smallpox. The remedy did certainly modify the severity of the disease, restrain suppuration, check the severity of the symptoms, and promote convalescence. I knew of several very desperate cases, which I think would have terminated fatally but for the timely use of _Echinacea_. I frequently saw cases of severe confluent type, wherein the symptoms were of a very serious kind, high fever, delirium; some with coma, abominably offensive odor of body and breath, urine nearly suppressed, eruption confluent, exceedingly abundant pus, steadily improve under _Echinacea_ tea taken internally and used locally over the entire body. One of the very striking effects of the _Echinacea_ was to abate the dreadfully offensive odor of the body and breath and modify the acute severity of the eruption. (The following proving of _Echinacea_, conducted by Dr. J. C. Fahnestock, of Piqua, Ohio, was read before the American Institute of Homoeopathy, at Atlantic City, 1899): It becomes my pleasant duty to place before the American Institute of Homoeopathy a collection of provings of _Echinacea angustifolia_. Four species of this genus are recognized. Two of them, _E. Dicksoni_ and _E. dubia_, are native in Mexico.
