USES. 
Eay says it is useful in affections of the chest and lungs. 
Lightfoot says the Scotch made a tea and syrup for coughs 
and colds. Old works say it is the plant from which the 
syi’up known as Capillaire is prepared. Gerard says an 
infusion of it is a good hair wash, and makes “ the haire to 
grow in places that are pild and bare.” Formerly considered 
good for all diseases of the spleen, and capable even of des- 
troying it if used to excess.
