{think it decidedly preferable to any of the officinal or 
common preparations of hop. The dose, however, spe- 
cified by Dr. Ives, | found much too small. I gave it in 6 
and 10 grains at a time, several times a day ; and have ad- 
ministered in mania a potu scruple doses, often repeated. 
I did not use any preparation, of the native product; 
neither can I perceive any better form of internal exhibi- 
tion, than that of pure Lupula. There are few physici- 
ans in this city, who have used this product—none so ex- 
tensively as myself, both in public, private, and charity 
practice ; and Iam of opinion, that its peculiar effect of 
giving tone to the system, inducing ane oe in diseases 
of great irritation of the nervous system, a Appa. 
sometimes, but not often, a renovating sleep, without even 
affecting the head—should entitle it to more notice, and 
more frequent exhibition. Of its powel rn 
plied, I know nothing from experienc Dr. 
(Pharmacopzia Ruthenica, ) recommends an ointment pre- 
pared with the powdered hops, and lard, as a remedy for 
cancer—to be used in the last stage of the disease, to 
assuage agony which other remedies could not moderate. 
Dr. Ives very justly proposes to substitute an ointment 
of 1 part of Lupula, and 3 of fresh lard, for that of 
Freack.
