Physician's Materia Medica on Aconite
ACONITE
The tuber, also the leaves (unoflicial) of ACONITU M NAPELLUs, Lin. Actively poisonous. A powerful cardiac depressant acting thus as an arterial sedative; paralyzes sensory nerves and depresses respiratory centers. Used chiefly for its antipyretic effect and in treatment of neuralgia, rheumatism and cardiac hypertrophy; local ly, in liniments, for relief of pain. Dose, 0.015 to 0.12 Grm. (% to 2 grs.).1

ACON ITINE
Alkaloid derived from Acomrom Nnrermos, L., having the same medicinal properties as Aconite itself. Dose, 0.00015 to 0.0006 Grm. (1400 to 1-100 gr.). [Only crystallized Acnnitine Nitraté should be used. The amorphous or “mild” Aconitine is much less active and not uniform in strength.]1
