| Notes: | Label source: The drug consists of the fruit, which differs from that of Q indica L, in having a short stalk 1/4 inch long, in its more oval or globular shape, not tapering gradually towards the end and in its pale brown colour. It is stated by Dr Parke, r (p 669) to be used for flat worms of different kinds. For this purpose it is quite probable that it may be an effectual remedy. Q indica being used in China, India and the East generally for lumbrici, four or five seeds being given to children to eat., It is worthy of note however, that Bouton states that in larger dose than the above mentioned the seeds of Q indica produce spasms and other disagreeable symptoms. | ||||
