THE ACTION OF KALMIA AGUSTIFOLIA (LAMBKILL)

RUSSELL A. WAUD 1

1 From the University of Western Ontario Medical School

The effects of Kalmia agustifolia (lambkill) were studied on various animals and isolated tissues. Intact animals showed drowsiness, defecation, salivation, nausea and vomiting, tearing, dyspnoea, blindness, tremors, convulsions and death.

The rabbit's uterus and intestine and the guinea pig's lung were stimulated, while the rat's uterus and the frog's heart were inhibited.

There was no constant relation between the action of the drug and the autonomic system. It appears to have a specific effect which shows only a superficial resemblance to the more common drugs having a similar action.
