Remedy for Epilepsy.

A foreign medical journal states that Dr. 8. A. Siminoff, an eminent physician, cites three cases of epilepsy cured by him by the administration of an infusion of common tansy. He has also used this decoction successfully in cases of neurasthenia, where valerian had ceased to be effective. A glassful of the infusion of tansy (either dried or fresh) is given to the patient night and morning. This is a common garden herb, and while quite bitter to the taste, is not especially disagreeable, and has the advantage of being harmless. If it won’t cure, it is pretty certain not to kill.
