GAMBOGE
Gamboge is the gum resin of Garcinia Morella. It is an active ingredient in certain quack “vegetable pills.” One drachm has caused death by its irritant action. Owing to the imperfect pulverisation of gamboge in quack pills, they have caused violent irritation of the bowels, straining at stool, and prolapsus uteri, due to the irritating action of small pieces of this substance.
