 Jasminum officinale. White Jessamine. N. O. Jasminaceae. Lindley. Some botanists include the jasmines in the Oleaceae. Tincture of red berries.

 Convulsions. Tetanus.

 The only observation on this plant is one made by W. H. Hull on a boy who ate the red berries. They produced a comatose state, vomiting and convulsions ending in tetanus. Jasminum must not be confounded with Gelsemium, the Yellow jessamine, or Carolina jessamine, which belongs to a different order of plants. Gelsomino is the Italian for jessamine, and it is probably from this that the word Gelsemium is derived; and this will also account for the spelling Gelseminum, which has sometimes been used. The Treasury of вotany states that the bitter leaves of J. floribundum are used in Abyssinia against tapeworm; and the bitter root of J. angustifolium, powdered and mixed with the powdered root of Acorus calamus, is considered in India an excellent application in ringworm. Jasmin. offic. has not been used in medicine, but the poisoning case shows that it is a very powerful drug. The convulsive symptoms were by a bath. Symptoms go from above downwards and from left to right.

At one time the spasms were chiefly opisthotonus, when the whole surface was congested almost to a blackened hue; most marked about the muscles of the head and throat; jaws locked, trismus complete; by a bath.
