152 FLORA HOMCEOPATHICA. 



In some instances of death from Savin, the poison can only 

 be detected by the use of a powerful microscope {Med. Gaz., 

 May, 1845). 



Fodere {Med. Legale, vol. iv. p. 430) mentions a case where 

 a large quantity of the powdered leaves was taken. Vomiting, 

 hiccup, heat in the abdomen, and fever, of a fortnight's duration, 

 were produced, without abortion. 



Dr. Trail mentions the following case : — u A servant girl, after 

 being some time in low spirits, was seized with violent colic pains, 

 frequent vomiting, straining at stool, tenderness of the abdomen* 

 dysuria, and general fever, under which symptoms she died, 

 after several days' suffering. The stomach was inflamed, in parts 

 black, and at the lower curvature perforated. The uterus, with 

 its appendages, were very red, and contained a fine membrana 

 decidua, but no ovum. The lower intestines were inflamed. 

 There was found in the stomach a greenish powder, which, 

 when washed and dried, had the taste of Savin." 



Med 



sdical Uses (Homoeopathic).— Stapf {Add. to the Mat. 



) says : " Sabina has been heretofore employed in two 

 different affections of the same organ, partly to bring on the 

 catamenia, and, in general, to stimulate the circulation (hence 

 in chlorosis), partly to suppress bad hemorrhages from the 



uterus. It is evident that Sabina could not be the proper 

 remedy in two such opposite affections, and that in one of them 

 it must have been administered improperly. We now know 

 from experience, that it cures hemorrhages from the uterus, as 



has first been 



(D 



burg, 1816, p. 27). This view has been confirmed by the 

 provings which homoeopathic physicians have instituted with 

 Sabina upon the healthy organism, and which show, on the one 

 hand, that Sabina has a tendency to excite the arterial (?) circu- 

 lation of the uterus; and, on the other hand, they confirm the 

 truth of the homoeopathic law, inasmuch as hemorrhages from 

 the uterus are cured even by allopathic doctors by the use of 

 Sabina. How different were the results obtained by the u.m
