ILLICIUM ANISATUM
ANISUM STELLATUMBOTH the illicium anisatum and the millefolium, which have been introduced into our practice empirically, will undoubtedly become important adjuncts in the homoeopathic materia medica, the former in gastric affections, the latter in those of the chest. We publish the following symptoms in the hope of facilitating their employment in the treatment of disease.
