Ali,  Oxymethyi^anThraouinonES  possess  purgative  properties,  and 
Tschirch  {Arch,  der  Pharm.,  1899,  p.  632)  suggests  that  the}'  may  well 
replace  the  natural  drugs  containing  them,  as  rhubarb,  etc.  The  trioxy-com- 
pounds  (as  emodin)  are  more  powerful  than  the  dioxy-compounds  (as  chryso- 
phanic  acid).
