Abstract
My attention was called to this drug in a practical way during the winter of 1889-90 when the great epidemic of influenza was with us. I found it so useful then that I have employed it since daily, both in general and in special practice, with quite uniform and satisfactory results. It is such a reliable drug and covers so many indications, having a rather wide range of action, that it seems to me that our northern physicians, especially should be more familiar with its properties and uses. In the South where it is indigenous, it is well known and widely used. It is especially adapted to fevers of the intermittent and remittent type, when we do not care to use quinin. Now that malaria is creeping up the Connecticut Valley, and spreading over our southern New England States, we shall find this drug exceedingly useful in influenza and all
