The roots of several species 

 of Peucedanum formed one 

 of the most valued medi- 

 cines among the Gosiutes, 

 being, in fact, termed by 

 them pi'-a-na-tsu, or " great 

 medicine." In cases of sore 

 throat it was mashed and 

 applied directly to the af- 

 fected surface. In cases of 

 biliousness and severe colds 

 it was sometimes used as a 

 decoction, being by some 

 mixed with a koi'na-tsu 

 and pine resin.
