Conium Maculatum

Spotted, or Poison Hemlock. Umbelliferæ.

A native of Europe, but naturalized in the United States. The active principle is Conia, a yellowish, oily, transparent fluid, lighter than water, of an acrid, nauseous, tobacco-like taste. It is very volatile ; slightly soluble in water ; its combinations with acids do not easily crystallize, and are very soluble and poisonous. It was known in ancient times, but not used until recently as an internal medicine. It was employed in the execution of political offenders, and was the means of Socrates' death. Dioscorides recommended the dried plant to be applied upon the genitals, to remedy nocturnal pollutions, and upon the breasts of girls, to prevent their development. Pliny and Avicenna recommended poultices of it to remove tumors of breasts and testes, and to suppress the secretion of milk.

Proved by Hahnemann and his provers ; see Encyclopædia, vol. 3, p. 519 .
