Alma R. Hutchens Indian Herbalogy of North America cites herbs that, according to medical folklore, are said to act against hydrophobia or rabies, some of which are in common with Heinerman s listing. In addition to rue, there is mention of balsam fir, beech tree, echinacea, henbane, Jimsonweed, rue, skullcap, St. John s wort, and tansy. Jimsonweed and henbane contain the alkaloid hyoscyamine, as do some other members of the family Solanaceae, or nightshade family. The family Solanaceae, incidentally, is well represented in HartweU (1982b). [Pg.203]
