Belladonna, which before the war
came almost exclusively from Ger
many, is now being cultivated at Dork-
ing on scale that will prevent any
possibility of dearth in the future, and
doctors, who partially discontinued its
use, may now prescribe it as freely as
they did before the war, says the Lon

plantations was started Immediately
after the war broke out, but the diff
Guilty Of obtaining the seed, and more
especially the slow growth of the
plant, in the initial stages, prevented
the drug being produced in large guam
titles until this year. Next year a stil
larger quantity will be placed on the
market. Practically the whole of the
plantations are on waste ground that
could not possibly produce food. If
the seed is Sown in the open, il takes
four years before sufficient herb can
be cut To make paying crop.
