On the 21st we were storm-bound at Et-then Island, but utilised the time collecting. I gathered a lot of roots of Pulsatilla and Calypso. Here Billy amused us by catching Wiskajons in an old-fashioned springle that dated from the days when guns were unknown; but the captured birds came back fearlessly each time after being released.
Beautiful wood-anemones I found, to be sure, trembling on their fragile stems, deserving all their pretty names, Wind-flower, Easter-flower, Pasque-flower, and homeopathic Pulsatilla; rue-leaved anemones I found also, rising taller and straighter and firmer in stem, with the whorl of leaves a little higher up on the stalk than one fancies it ought to be, as if there were a supposed danger that the flowers would lose their balance, and as if the leaves must be all ready to catch them.
She was greatly exhausted; her stomach, which was very acid, would retain very little nourishment. She had been under Allopathic treatment for some time without experiencing any relief. I gave her a low dilution of Pulsatilla, which afforded her no relief. Then I selected other remedies, from which she derived no benefit.
And this also explains, further, if that were necessary, why the principal remedies of the homeopathic system are so speedy and direct in their action. The four principal drugs, which stand as representatives of their class, are aconite, belladonna, phosphorus, and pulsatilla.
Morgan opened his eyes at hearing the name of Lord L'Estrange. "I remember him very well," said he, "when I practised murder as an allopathist at Lansmere. But to think that wild boy, so full of whim and life and spirit, should become staid enough for a guardian to that dear little child, with her timid eyes and pulsatilla sensibilities. Well, wonders never cease!
BEAR'S-BERRY. The leaves boiled in an acid will dye a brown. ASPERULA tinctoria. WOODROOF. The roots give a red similar to madder. ANEMONE Pulsatilla. PASQUE-FLOWER. The corolla, a green tincture. ARUNDO Phragmites. COMMON REED-GRASS. The pamicle, a green. BERBERIS vulgaris. BARBERRIES. The inner bark, a yellow. BROMUS secalinus. BROME-GRASS. The panicle, a green. BIDENS tripartita.
The traveller looked hard at Helen, as she gently drew her father's head on her shoulder, and there pillowed it with a tenderness which was more that of a mother than child. "Moral affections, soft, compassionate! a good child and would go well with /pulsatilla/." Helen held up her finger, and glanced from her father to the traveller, and then to her father again.
"Certainly, pulsatilla!" muttered the homoeopathist, and ensconcing himself in his own corner, he also sought to sleep. But after vain efforts, accompanied by restless gestures and movements, he suddenly started up, and again extracted his phial-book. "What the deuce are they to me?" he muttered. "Morbid sensibility of character coffee? No! accompanied by vivacity and violence nux!"

The genus contains many other lively spring-blooming plants, of which A. hortensis and A. fulgens have less divided leaves and splendid rosy-purple or scarlet flowers; they require similar treatment. Another set is represented by A. Pulsatilla, the Pasque-flower, whose violet blossoms have the outer surface hairy; these prefer a calcareous soil.
