label: Description
content: For an irritant and a local stimulant. In proper quantities it excites a grateful warmth in the stomach and quickens the appetite and digestion. It tends to prevent flatulence occasioned by vegetable food and is of use by enabling feeble stomachs to digest food, as is shown by its efficacy in atonic dyspepsia. It is said to cure haemorrhoids, perhaps sometime cures intermittent fever, and it tends to prevent or to relieve sea-sickness. In delerium tremens it is beneficial by enabling the patient to retain and digest food. As a local stimulant it is particularly efficient in tonsillitis.
