The grass can be found all over the world and has a great number of folk
names, all of which emphasise the plant's anaesthetic, dizzying aspect. It
has a stiff, erect stem with a blue-green tint and a separate spike, which
grows to 30 centimetres. It has a preference for dank fields and in high
rainfall years, it often appears in cornfields. The plant has long been
known
for its narcotic-toxic effect. The ancients supposed it to cause blindness,
hence with the Romans, ........., to live on Darnel, was a phrase
applied to a dim-sighted person. Poisonings occurred often, usually through
the contamination of flour with..........seed. The seed used to be added to
beer to increase its intoxicant effect. In Turkey and Arabia,
.................. was used
as an anaesthetising agent in cataract and bladder operations.
There is little known about its toxic effects. According to some authors,
the
effects are due to a parasitic fungus which occurs on ........... In that
case,
the grass type would belong to the same category as Secale [Claviceps
purpurea] and Ustilago. Both are smuts. Secale is a parasite to rye,
Ustilago
to maize, while ............is said to be related to oats or barley.
"Professor
Henslow considers too that as the use of Darnel in the sixteenth century was
similar to that of Ergot - a diseased condition of rye - it is more probable
that the injurious nature of .......... has been due to an ergotised
condition,
especially as experiments have shown that perfectly healthy
..............seeds have
no injurious effects." [Grieve] A better reason for making a fungus
responsible for the toxic effect is that ..........particularly occurs in
cornfields during damp summers. The level of poison has been found to be
very
inconsistent and only becomes active when the seed ripens. The ash contains
approx. 50 percent silicic acid, but this cannot be the reason for the
effects, since all grasses contain an abundance of silicic acid.

From Anschutz(EH):
- The use of the drug by Dr. Bonino was truly homoeopathic for the short
proving of it.
- Allen's Encyclopedia reports trembling of the limbs and hand so great that
"he could not hold a glass of water".)

- A carpenter, aged twenty-nine years, had been suffering, ever since his
eighteenth year, of trembling in both hands, especially in the morning; of
late his legs also began to tremble.
- It is remarkable that both father and his brother were subject to the same
ailment, while no definite cause could be indicated.
- He was first given Mercurius vivusn then Agaricus, which brought a partial
but only transitory improvement.
- Finally I prescribed .#########, which within a short time effected a
cure.

- (On this Dr. Mossa comments as follows.)

- The pathogenetic effects of this remedy which has not yet been proved at
all are only known to some degree from its effects when it has been mixed
with grain and baked into bread.
- It has caused chest troubles, vertigo (thence the name darnel-grass, in
German Taumellolch), trembling, paralysis with anguish and distress,
vomiting, failing of the memory, blindness, headache, epileptic attacks, deep
sleep and insanity.
- The good success obtained by its use in the case given above shows what
curative effects may be expected from it in severe affections of the brain or
spinal marrow.
- An Italian physician, Fantoni, has tried it in cephalalgia, meningitis
rheumatica and ischias.
