Title

Ext: de Noix V: (Noix vomique)

Description

Noix vomique, Nux vomica, and is also known as the strychine tree (Strychnos nux-vomica). Extracted from a tree covered with a smooth, dark gray bark, the drug that was stored in this jar was believed by some physicians to act favorably upon the stomach because it was slowly absorbed and acted locally somewhat persistently.
