HEMP. Agrimony, a species of EUPATORIUM.—It has a very bitter taste. A decoction of the roots operates as a violent emetic and cathartic, and is sometimes taken by the lower class of people to cure the jaundice, dropsy, and cachexy; but is a rough medicine, and ought to be used with caution. Boerhaave made use of an infusion of this plant to foment ulcers and putrid sores. Tournefort informs us, that the Turks cure the scurvy with it. An ounce of the juice, or a dram of the extract, is a dose.
