GENTIANA

Various species of Gentiana seem to have a similar action in increasing the appetite, and, for a time, stimulating the action of the heart and elevating the temperature, though a prolonged and depressing reaction follows.

Following the ravenous appetite, we find flatulent dyspepsia, with abdominal diseases and yellow diarrhoea ; also, in some cases, symptoms of catarrhal affection of the throat.
