SPHERE OF ACTION

This is a powerful irritant to the filaments of the hypogastric plexus of nerves. Acting powerfully upon the intestinal canal; producing copious watery stools, severe colicky pains, and inflammation of the mucous membrane of the bowels.

Its CHARACTERISTICS are unknown, but should be of much value in diarrhoea, dysentery, and cholera infantum.
