Book Description
Excerpt from Original Communications, Eighth International Congress of Applied Chemistry, Vol. 17: Washington and New York, September 4 to 13, 1912; Section Viiib, Pharmaceutical Chemistry A review of the whole of these results shows conclusively that there is a wide variation in the amount of alkaloid which occurs in belladonna. It is, however, a more difficult task to trace the conditions which determine these variations; clearly there are several such conditions, notably those of soil, climate and Weather. The author has certain results to record which furnish further evidence on this question; but since variations of climate consider ably affect the alkaloidal contents, caution must be exercised in drawing generalisations from a set of experiments made in one locality. The experiments in question have been carried out during the past seven years on the Wellcome Materia Medica Farm a plot of land situated at Darenth, on the chalky downs of Kent and sloping to the south-west. In the near vicinity Wild bella donna was to be occasionally found before these experiments commenced; since then it has become more common owing to the dissemination of the seed by birds.
