Hyssop, used freely in the form of warm infusion, proves highly beneficial as a remedy in the incipient stages of those diseases arising from the influence of cold acting upon the system when in a state of perspiration, and arresting that function. In the simpler forms of disease this agent will cause a determination to the surface, relieve internal congestions, and if assisted by other appropriate measures, will produce free perspiration.
