Apothecary Jar - Catawaba According to the 1854 US Dispensatory the Catawba or Catalpa tree is a beautiful flowering tree, occasionally cultivated for ornamental purposes, reputed to be poisonous. A decoction was prepared by boiling 3 or 4 ounces of Catawba seeds with 12 ounces of water down to 6 ounces and it was then administered in the morning and at night for the treatment of asthma. This medicine probably fell out of favor in the 1800's due to lack of efficacy as there are no reference to Catawba in any early 1900 references.
