| Notes: | Label source: The Wild Chamomile, which in the months of November & December so plentifully covers the Cape downs, is one of those plants, which deserve the peculiar attention of our apothecaries. It is a true Matricaria, and in many respects not onl, y equals, but even surpasses the European species. Large sums of money are yearly expended in importing this useful and popular drug, while we can gather a plant of the same order, the same genus, and the same properties at our doors. In the more remote, parts of the country, where dispensaries are not so abundantly found as in the vicinity of our metropolis, the farmers and the coloured people employ the wild chamomile as often, and with the same good effect, as we do the Matricaria chamomilla, or the, Anthemis nobilis. | ||||
