DIGITALIS, FOX-GLOVE; a genus of plants, belonging to the didynamia class; and in the natural method ranking under the 28th order, Luridæ. See BOTANY Index.—Fox-glove has been employed in cases of hæmoptysis, of phthisis, and of mania, with apparent good effects: but its use in these diseases is less common and less efficacious than in dropsy. It should be administered with great caution. See MEDICINE and MATERIA MEDICA Index.
