CAPSICUM
It is stated that it seems to suit especially persons of lax fiber, weak; diminished vital heat. Sluggish, fat, indolent, opposed to physical exertion, generally unclean in appearance who have aching, jerking muscles.

MIND Peevish, homesick, wants to be alone, sleeplessness
HEAD Bursting headaches, coughing. Hot faced, red cheeked
EARS Burning and stinging
THROAT Hot, smarts, constricted
MOUTH Disagreeable smell
STOMACH Burning tip of tongue, fart a lot, drinks but shutters
STOOL Pain in back after stool, anal pain
URINE Comes first in drops and then in spurts
MALE Cold scrotum
FEMALE Sticking sensation in left ovary
RESPIRATORY Hoarseness, dry cough, pain all over when coughing
EXTREMITIES Pain from hips to feet, tensive pain in the knee
FEVER Cold with ill humor.


Grindelia Robusta
HEAD pain in eyeballs, worse when moving eyeballs

RESPIRATORY for wheezing and oppression
SPLEEN cutting pain in region of spleen extending to hips

LETTUCE
MIND Stupefaction of sense

SNAKE ROOT

RESPIRATORY Nervous hacking cough
BACK Pain in the muscles of nape of neck. Weak and staggering
FEVER Chilliness

And that is what the Kickapoo Indian Cough Cure can do for you! If your chest doesn't loosen up from all that expectorant, then surely the ipecac will make you vomit it out. And if you couldn't pee before, you can now! And your brain will no longer be dull and your eyeballs won't hurt.

Now think about people listening to someone hocking these products at a medicine man side show. Think about how excited you would be to know there was a product on the market to make you feel so good you would just wish for it, no matter what the cost!

How many of these products are still on the market? We know cayenne pepper is, and all of us who every had toddlers had a bottle of ipecac in case they swallowed something bad, although ours was never opened because we got the crayon out without it.

Research is interesting; let's try for the ingredients in Indian Sagwa tomorrow. I will start now, since do not seem to be confused after my tincture of snake root

Wellness to all.

PS In looking at a vitamin site it states
Horehound is advertised for Immune system and Respiratory
Capsicum is a diet aid
Lettuce is a sleep formula
Glycerin is cellular energy for muscle strength and endurance and heart health.

Snakeroot, grindelia robusta, senega, and tar spirits are not listed.
