Medical Investigator signed \u2018M.D.\u2019 \nIn March 1878, I was cutting wood. I cut down a soft maple, the top was well loaded with moss. It attracted my \nattention, I viewed it closely. \n\u201cI ate a little, about the size of a hickory nut, asltrimmedupmy tree .Myheadbegantoache. I cut off one log and \nhad to go to the house. I could feel the blood press to the brain. My wife worked over me and I got to sleep.  \n\u201cNext morning felt well, never felt better. I did not think of the moss I had eaten. I went on a visit and was gone \nfive days. On my return I went to my tree. The first sight of it reminded me of my headache. I gathered some \nof the moss and made a tincture. I soon had a case of headache to try my remedy on, it stopped at once.  \n\u201c In the fa ll, about September, a load of young folks came to pick cranberries. Two of the young ladies had \nheadache from riding in the hot sun. Both took the lounge. Now for my remedy. I put one drop of tincture in a \ngoblet of water, gave a teaspoonful ordered another in fifteen minutes. The second dose stopped the pain. \n\u201cA young married lady came on a visit to a relative - was having pains in her head. I was sent for, found her \nwild with pain. She said she had been subject to headache for five years, had got tired of doctoring. Gave her \none drop in a cup of water, teaspoonful in twenty minutes, no more pain.  \n\u201cI put ten drops in a two -drachm vial of alcohol, directed her to take one drop when she felt her headache \ncoming on. One year after she wrote her friend it had cured headache, sent thanks to me. \n\u201cI could give many more cases where the pain is over the entire head or front head with a feeling as if the \ntemples would burst or the eyes would burst out of their sockets. I have always used the tincture. I have not \nnoticed any other effect from it, would like to see a proving.\u201d","modalities":"","symptoms_by_system":[],"schema_version":"1.0","api_provider":"Allahshafi"}
