Verbascum seems to be a somewhat peculiar irritation of the temporo-facial branch 
of the seventh pair of cranial nerves and a somewhat narcotic action upon the 
brain. 
Hahnemann observes that the narcotic effects of the drug wore off in about 
two hours in his experiments. The seeds of Verbascum Lychnitis and Thapsus 
have often been employed to stupefy fish.
