the isolated toad heart. It was also found to
initially stimulate and later depress rabbit
respiration. Ephedrine at a certain dosage was
shown to antagonize the sedative effect of the
volatile oil emulsion in mice. The emulsion of
its volatile oil reduced artificial fever in
rabbits. Its volatile oil and trepanned showed
a hypothermic effect in normal mice. In vitro
studies proved that its decoction had different
