Typical features

 Pilocarpin. is one of the most characteristic of several alkaloids which have been isolated from Jaborandi (Pilocarpus pinnatus). It has been used, like Jabor., to produce and cure profuse sweating; and by oculists to produce contraction of the pupil, which it does whether it is injected subcutaneously or applied directly to the eye. It has also an action on the ear. G. P. Field (Brit. Med. Jour., May 17, 1890, &c.) has given it with good effect in labyrinthine deafness, tinnitus, and auditory nerve vertigo. The cases least amenable to its influence were those in which the hearing was in a noise as of a train, &c.; and those in which the hearing is.

Dif. diagnostics
