Dear Tanya,

From Clarke's 'Dictionary of Practical Materia
Medica':

Ulmus campestris
[ULMUS FULVA]
Description:

- Ulmus fulva.
- American Slippery Elm.
- Red Elm.
- Moose Elm.
- (Mountains of Canada and Pennsylvania.)
- Pounded dried inner bark.
- Decoction of dried bark.
- Tincture of fresh bark.

Clinical:
- Constipation.
- Deafness.
- Haemorrhoids.
- Herpes.
- Pain.
- Syphilis.
Characteristics:
- In a case in which the mucous membrane of the rectum
was dry and extremely painful, Burnett relieved the
sufferings with 20- drop doses of the tincture.
- The bark in trituration gives much relief as a snuff
in old vascular deafness with tubal obstruction
(Cooper).
