* This plant has a degree of bitterness and acrimony, but its real use is far from being 
accurately ascertained. It stands recommended in the gout, jaundice, and intermitting 
fevers. 
The herb is bitter, with a degree of aroma, and may be used with advantage in weak 
and relaxed constitutions. It is an ingredient in the celebrated gout powders.
