Note: The common juniper (Juniperus communis) is a shrub of
a low, spreading form, having awl-shaped, rigid leaves
in whorls of threes, and bearing small purplish blue
berries (or galbuli), of a warm, pungent taste, used as
diuretic and in flavoring gin. A resin exudes from the
bark, which has erroneously been considered identical
with sandarach, and is used as pounce. The oil of
juniper is acrid, and used for various purposes, as in
medicine, for making varnish, etc. The wood of several
species is of a reddish color, hard and durable, and is
used in cabinetwork under the names of red cedar,
Bermuda cedar, etc.

the criminal intent of producing abortion, generally endangering the life of
the woman. It is usually administered in powder or oil. The dose of oil for
lawful purposes, for a grown person, is from two to four drops. Parr's Med.
Dictionary, article Sabina. Fodere mentions a case where a large dose of
powdered savine had been administered to an ignorant girl, in the seventh
month of her pregnancy, which had no effect on the foetus. It was, however,
near taking the life of the girl. Fodere, tome iv. p. 431. Given in
sufficiently large doses, four or six grains in the form of powder, kills a
dog in a few hours, and even its insertion into a wound has tho same effect.
Orfila, Traite des Poisons, tome iii. p. 42. For or a form of indictment for
administering savine to a woman quick with child, see 3 Chit. Cr. Law, 798.
