Further studies of the cerebral chemoreceptor buffers as influenced by vasoconstrictor and vasodilator drugs and veratrum viride.

Clinical Note of a Case of Eclampsia at the Sixth Month of Pregnancy, Treated by Saline Infusion and Veratrum Viride

Assay in man of the chemical fractions of Veratrum Viride, and identification of the pure alkaloids germitrine and germidine as potent hypotensive principles derived from the drug.

Recent clinical (1) and experimental (2) evidence indicated that the crude powdered roots and rhizomes of Veratrum v&de may produce marked reductions of arterial pressure in patients with essential hypertension. However, therapeutic application of the available preparations has been limited by the frequency of their disturbing side effects and the inconsistency of their action (1). The present ...
