From Burt:

Through the solar plexus, acts on the gastrointestinal canal in a peculiar
and most powerful manner. Dr. T. R. Chambers says, "It causes an enormous
flow of watery serum from the first mucous membrane that absorbs it. If its
vapor be drawn up into the nostrils for a short time, it is a powerful
errhine, and is followed by secretion of floods of water from the
Schneiderian membrane. If it is dissolved in the oesophagus, it causes sucha
deluge of the gastric fluids, that the stomach cannot contain them and they
are rejected by vomiting. If it succeeds in passing the pylorus, a choleraic
diarrhoea, gushes forth, stripping the membrane of its epithelium, just like
its morbid prototype.
[Remedy] is a most powerful drastic purgative, one grain producing
excessive vomiting and purging. A lady in Boston took 4 two grain pills from
a quack doctor, excessive vomiting took palce and she died in thirty - six
hours. On dissection, the mucous membrane of the stomach ws found to be
highly injected, the colon contracted, and all the intestines inflamed. The
other viscera were healthy.
The medicinal dose in the old school is one - six teenth to one - half
a grain.
Grand Characteristics
"Cholera infantum, stools frequent and uniformly frothy, watery and of
a pea - green color: 3rd cent." - A.E. SMALL, M. D.
John Manning has used it in forty cases of inflammation of the muscular
structure of the neck of the bladder, with complete success.
We ought to have a better clinical account of this drug.
