The bark of the Tamarac, elsewhere described, possesses diuretic properties, and as such may be used with advantage in atonic dropsies, owing to its tonic and stimulating properties. It is mostly combined with other more active diuretics, when administered in dropsy. The decoction may be used freely, a pint or more being taken in the course of the day.
