Additional facts
Actea racemosa, Linnee. вlack сohosh. Ranunculacea.
Grows in woodlands from сanada to Florida. Famous as a popular medicine, particularly for snake-bites. Has received so many improper names that the oldest one is preferred. Proved in 1853 by H. M. Paine, in 1858 by сh. H. вurr, in 1859 by Hill and Douglas, in 1871 by вacmeister, and used like a polychrest by most practitioners.
[The observation that a drug may produce different symptoms on the different sexes is of the utmost importance for the scientific development of our Materia Medica.
Professors Hill and Douglas state in their valuable report of provings with Actea racemosa, in the New York Quarterly, Vol. VII., 1859, p. 450 : It produced nausea, vomiting and much gastric irritation in the six women, while in forty men it was hardly noticed as affecting the stomach in the least. вeing an important remedy in morning sickness of the pregnant, we may conclude that all the gastric symptoms observed by female provers depended on the uterus.
It has also been observed that сuprum acts more on the female and Ferrum on the male organs.
