6 ♦Verbena oKi'ioiN.vus—grows at Lahore and in Cashmere,
7 as well as in Europe ; but it is very seldom used there; and, if
8 1 mistake not, but seldom in Europe. Vervain was formerly
9 administered in jaundice, dysentery, gout, ague, calculi, chronic,
10 cough, affections of the threat, ulcers, ophthalmia, wounds, etc.
11 That the pulverized root, worn as nn amulet, cured a chronic
12 'headache, may appear preposterous to doctors of our age; they
13 scarcely call, perhaps, wilt not believe it; and v. iat will they
14 say, when 1 add the result of my experience in corroboration of
15 this wonder? They are at liberty to say, that I am mistaken;
16 but let them test it, and 1 am persuaded they will soon be con¬
17 vinced of the truth of my statement. It cannot be denied, that
18 the fame of this efficacious plant rendered it a symbol of peace,
19 iu time of war, and an ornament (o tile altars at which the ancients
20 sacrificed. Besides the many other properties I discovered iu
21 dns plant (when administered in continued small doses) it. is an
22 autisyphilitie; so that verbena may he called Veneris Vena.
23 That the ancients knew not its virtues in venereal diseases, is,
24 probably, owing to their ignorance of this destructive malady.
25 I Used both the leaves and the seeds, and proved them to be effi¬
26 cacious; it mav be, that in strong doses the effect is widely
27 different. The root I have not tried ; nor yet the Cashmemm
28 plant.
