This plant grows all over the United States, and is received into the Pharmacopoeia under the title Arum. The recent root, or Cormus-Arum, (Ph. U. S.)-is very acrimonious, and has been employed in asthma, croup, and hooping-cough. Boiled in lard, it has been used in tinea capitis, and in milk in consumption.
