tenac Mandrake

Mandrake (Heb. duday; Gen. 30:14; Song of Sol 7:13). A narcotic plant of the order Solanaceae, Mandragora officinarum, L., esteemed by the ancients as a love medicine and evidently so referred to in both the above-cited passages. Taken in considerable quantities, it is an acrid narcotic poison. It is not used in modern medicine.
