Characteristics
The alkaloids of Hydrastis have been largely used in the old school as remedies for internal h├жmorrhage. Hydrastin. was found to be inconvenient by reason of its irritant properties. Hydrastinin., a modification of Hydrastin., proved to he free from this drawback, and its use in fibroid tumours has been advocated by Dr. Burford and others in the hom┼Уopathic school.
