One Of the most valuable drugs Of the materia medica is golden seal. A quarter of a century ago there was a glut Of this drug in the market. More than a million pounds Of it, the insurance on which was but nine cents a pound, was burned in a warehouse in New York. To-day, Owing to the destruction of the plant through excessive collection, this drug is selling at four or five dollars a pound, with the certainty Of an advance to twice this price in the not distant future. It is quite evident, therefore, that the advantages Of drug pro duction under cultivation, provided that the conditions Of the indi vidual case are appropriate, have been conclusively demonstrated, and that any experiments undertaken in this country must be re garded as looking toward an investigation of local conditions and applications, rather than toward ascertaining whether drug cultiva tion per se is profitable and desirable.
