====== JALAPA ======
<span tc1>{{anchor:s1}}Jalapa.</span>

<span grade2>{{anchor:s2}}Jalap. {{anchor:s3}}Convolvulaceae.</span>

{{anchor:s4}}Native to Mexico, from whence the first roots were brought by Coxe, in 1827. {{anchor:s5}}The flowers are large and lilac purple, the roots tuberous. {{anchor:s6}}The tincture is prepared from the dried and finely pulverized root.

{{anchor:s7}}It has been much used by the Old School as an active cathartic, generally in connection with other drugs. {{anchor:s8}}Its action was found to be violent, and in overdoses dangerous.
