MULLEIN, VERBASCUM, (Encycl.) White mullein has received the name of cow's lungwort, from the great reputation it had formerly among the country people for inveterate coughs among the horned cattle. Parkinson tells us, that in his time it was used in such cases with great success. It still retains the same credit in several parts of Europe.
