THE COMMON DAISY OR BELLIS PERENNIS



One warning when giving Bellis, do not give a dose near bedtime, for it is said to cause sleeplessness from 3 a.m. onwards ; and there you have another indication : try it in cases, when this symptoms is strongly marked : “awoke early towards 3 a.m. and cannot go to sleep again”.

You see our point, the Common Daisy is a precious little jewel in the crown of health we should all wear. A kind providence has planted it where it is most needed, in the meadows near the country lanes for the use of country men who so heedlessly stamp on it in their daily round of toil. How often do we not overlook the little things which are meant for our good and rush after some distant unobtainable chimera instead !.
