Excerpt from The American Journal of Pharmacy, Vol. 63 Anacardiaceoe. - Rhus Toxicodendron, Linné, grows from the valley of Mexico and from Jalapa northward, and is popularly known as mala mujer, guau, etc. The leaves are used in incontinence of urine; a hot strong decoction is employed against the bites of poisonous animals by bathing the affected parts, and the juice is given for coughs in doses of five drops, with a hot aromatic infusion. The alcoholature (tincture of the fresh leaves) has been used by Dr. Garcia in elephantiasis (mal de San Lazaro). Tapiria cyrtocarpa, Bentham et Hooker, copalcocote; the seeds are said to cure lepra.

Asclepiadeoe. - Asclepias Cornuti, Decaisne, grows near the northern frontier of Mexico, and is known as soliman vegetal.

They are regarded as possessing diuretic properties and are employed for curing diarrhoeas, while the juice is used in biliary affections; the flowers have the reputation of being useful in pectoral complaints. Among the economical uses of the berries may be mentioned that they are eaten as table fruit; that a very agreeable fermented beverage, known as colonche, is made from the juice in San Luis Potosi; and that the fruit is converted into a preparation called queso de tuna (tuna cheese). Capparideoe. - Polanisia uniglandulosa, Cavanilles, which grows in the valley of Mexico, Puebla, etc., is the yerba del coyote, and is employed as a stimulant, stomachic and vermifuge, and externally for its rubefacient properties.
