General symptoms
A lady, having prepared a tea of the bark for her own use, to check excessive menstrual flow, allowed her child, about 3 years old, to take an occasional sip. After two or three days, the doctor was called to attend the child, who was suffering from hemorrhage from the bowels, occurring especially after any physical exertion; even running across the room would cause this hemorrhage, which was bright-red and clear. This was associated with frequent attacks of nosebleed; in other aspects the child seemed to be in good health.
