HYOSCYAMUS-A PROVING


After reading the paper on The Jealous Remedies (Recorder, Fourth Quarter, 1934) I am remained of an anecdote Father Hering told of the old couple who became violently jealous of each other, without any cause, and found the reason for it in a collection of specimens of the Hyoscyamus plant put to dry on their porcelain stove (such as is used in Germany). When the Hyoscyamus was removed the jealousy ceased to trouble them.
