To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The fresh leaves have no marked odour, and but little taste at first, being merely herbaceous, and very slightly bitter ; but after a short time they are persistently burning, and cause a remarkable feeling of tingling and numbness in the mouth and throat. The principal constituents of aconite leaves are aconitia in small proportion ; and aconitic acid. The experiments of Schoon- broodt also indicate the probable presence of the aconella of Smith. Aconitic acid is the same substance as describe...d by Braconnot, under the name of Equisetic Acid, and by Baup, as Citridic Acid. The characters of Aconitia, and of the other constituents of aconite leaves, are described below under Aconiti Kadix and Aconitia. 2. ACONITI RADIX. General Characters and Composition. When fresh aconite root varies in length from 3 to 6 or even in rare cases 8 inches. In form it closely resembles that of the common parsnip, being broad at the base, and tapering down- wards to a fine thread-like point ; the upper extremity is gene- rally about the thickness of the middle finger, but frequently an inch or more in diameter.
