The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, Vol. 13 by PDF Summary

Book Description: Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, Vol. 13: Feb. 1834 Medical use. - The fact which I shall relate with regard to its elli cacy in arresting the direful effects of the bite of the deadly rattle snake may be implicitly relied on. Dr. Wells, when living, was considered one of the most eminent, judicious, and Observing physi cnans which Massachusetts has ever claimed. His medical precepts and Opinions are treasured up by many Of his successors with religious veneration. Let it not be objected to the Viola ovata that we are not acquaint ed with the active principle Of the plant which thus rapidly arrests the progress Of one Of the most terrible accidents to which humanity is liable. The principal substance which can be extracted from it is mucilage, and this is best done by infusion in water. It yields a greater proportion Of it than any Of the violets, and nearly as much as the same quantity of slippery-elm, (ulmus fulva3) hence it is much in use in dysentery, diarrhoea, strangury, and other afi'ections of the urinary organs. Other medicinal qualities may reside in the plant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
