Cool! I hadn't got to Tulip trees in your book yet. I didn't know anything about the medicinal properties of this species so thanks for the introduction. They won't grow in my area but I have seen these trees in the Lower Mainland area of BC's south coast. They are not as popular as magnolias but you can still find them as landscape specimens. And they can be found at most of the botanical gardens in that area. Always thought they were so beautiful but now I will be looking at them from a more predatory point of view, with a clippers and a bottle of alcohol in hand. :)

Thought you might like this link. There are other links at the bottom of the page, some related to Civil War medicine. I am having difficulty copying and pasting addresses. Hope this works but you might have to copy and paste it.

@judsoncarroll4 does that mean dogwood = tulip tree?

No, but they were often used similarly. Tulip poplar is liriodendron. Dogwood is cornus. The old books like Resources of The Southern Fields and Forests have separate entries, since it was written by a botanist - helps clear up confusion with common names.
