Book excerpt: Excerpt from The California Eclectic Medical Journal, 1920, Vol. 41: Incorporating the Los Angeles Journal of Eclectic Medicine and the California Medical Journal Sanguinaria is an old-time but neglected remedy, which neglect was doubtless due to its unpleasant taste. The plant itself is a curiosity and is not often seen. Its native habitat is some wild, cool, shady nook, where it flour ishes in rich, black, sandy soil, and is not often discovered or disturbed. It is a low-growing plant, consisting of several large, round, radical leaves and a flower stalk: The root is blood-red and the flower snow-white; and its blossom is as dainty and delicate as an orchid. It is one of the early spring wild flowers in the East and is sometimes seen even before all of the snow is off the ground.
