The young buds, oculi or rudiments of the leaves, which appear in the beginning of spring, were formerly used in an officinal ointment- the unguen'tum popule'um. It was, also, recommended in chronic affections of the lungs. The bark of Pop'ulus Tremuloi'des, American aspen, of P. Trem'ula seu pen'dula, European aspen, and of POPULUS CAN'DICANS, Balm of Gilead Poplar, is antiperiodic, and furnishes salicin and populin, in which the properties probably reside.
