Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book documents a series of experiments conducted on animals to ascertain the physiological effects and toxicity levels of the drug veratrum viride, also known as green hellebore. Following in the footsteps of prior researchers, the author expands upon their work and posits that the nervous system, rather than the circulatory system, is affected by the drug, which would also explain the subsequent paralysis and/or convulsions that occur before death. Although the author does not delve into the therapeutic benefits of veratrum viride, this book is a valuable contribution to the field of toxicology, providing important insights into the dangers of improper use and overdose.
