On offer is an outstanding 19th Century Emerald Green Glass Tincture Round.

TINCT:CALUMB:Tinctura Calumbae: Compound Tincture of Calumba.

Calumba rot consists of the dried transverse slices of the root of Jateorhiza Columba, a climbing plant indigenous to Portuguese East africa, and growing freely in forests near the Zambesi.

The chief constituents of calumba root are columbamine, palmatine, and jateorhizine, three yellow crystalline alkaloids, closely allied to berberine; the drug also contains a colourless, crystalline principle, columbin, which yields yellow amorphous columbic acid on treatment with acid or alkali. All these constituents contribute to the bitter taste of the drug. A fluorescent principle is also present, as well as an abundance of starch and some mucilage.

Calumba is a pure bitter, and is used in atonic dyspepsia and debility of the digestive organs.
