| Notes: | Label source: Hazommafana - This drug consists of woody stems varying from 1/4 to 1/2 inch in diam, with a reddish grey, minutely wrinkled bark, speckled all over with white dots. The bark is thin, very tough and composed of fine silky fibre, and in aspe, ct, acridity of taste and herbaceous flavour so closely corresponds with ordinary Mezereon bark that there can be little doubt that it is the produce of a sp. of Daphne ( possibly D. Viridiflora Wall.). The pounded bark is given in doses of 1 drachm mixed, with salt and ginger, as a purgative. It probably possesses similar properties to Daphne mezereum and would be worthy of a trial as a substitute for it in the native Materia Medica. | ||||
