Liver — (obstructions of)

CND-0082Liver and jaundice

Open in the Concordance

Printed in the 1850 edition’s “A List of the Principal Diseases” as “—— (obstructions of)” under “Liver” (the dash stands for the heading above it, or its first word); shown here as “Liver — (obstructions of)”.

Modern literature has not yet been searched for this heading’s claims: it comes only from the 1850 index and has no search words yet.

Old claims, quoted verbatim: not medical advice. A warning sits above the claims and never hides them; no warning does not mean safe, only that no source here has flagged the plant.

5 claims: 4 with a sentence, 1 from the index alone
