History, Use, Propagation, Culture^ 
1355. Digitalis. Named by Fuchs, from digitabulum, a thimble, in allusion to the form of the flowers. The 
species are for the most part shewy border flowers of easy culture. D. purpurea, found both with purple and 
white flowers, is one of the most ornamental of native plants in rocky copses, neglected hedges, and by road 
sides. Its large tall spike attracts not only the botanist and florist, but is even conspicuous enough to be 
introduced in the painter's landscape of such scenery. It is a violent poison ; but also a valuable plant in 
medicine. The leaves are the parts of the plant used. They should be gathered when the plant is in flower, 
and those only which are fresh selected. The leafstalks and midrib should be rejected, and the remaining part 
be dried either in the sunshine, or on a tin-pan or pewter dish before the fire, or the plant be hung up. each 
leaf separate, in a warm kitchen. Practitioners ought annually to obtain a supply of the recent leaves m 
the month of July, and dry them themselves ; as in the herb-shops they are often so ill dried as to appear 
black, in which state they are useless. The powder should be kept in closely stopped opaque phials. 
Digitalis is directly sedative and diuretic. It weakens the force of all the vital functions ; and by a proper 
exhibition of it, the frequency of the pulse may be diminished any number of pulsations, and regulated at the 
pleasure of the practitioner ; whilst at the same time it admits, to a certain extent, of the employment of 
such medicines as increase the firmness of tlie arterial action, and give tone to the habit. When given to the
