This is a very valuable plant, and is grown in thousands of American gardens. It is used in flavoring meats, such as sausage, bologna, mincemeat and hash. It is also used as a substitute for store tea, and is a very good one. Its medical properties are very mild, yet in a great many cases they answer all that is needed, and I have known cases where it has succeeded when more honored remedies have failed. It is a fine remedy for night sweats, and acts gently and mildly on the skin and kidneys. The dose is unlimited. Make a tea of it the same as you would a store tea, and drink freely. It will cure night sweats and purify the blood.
