A poisonous alkaloid obtained from the root hellebore
(Veratrum) and from sabadilla seeds as a white crystalline powder,
having an acrid, burning taste. It is sometimes used externally, as in
ointments, in the local treatment of neuralgia and rheumatism. Called
also veratria, and veratrina.

Nor would Hanna see her Oma, who had wept when Hanna boarded the ship for America, waving goodbye for the last time. Only the elderly and frail were left behind. And letters from home were not the same as a warm laugh or a cup of tea shared on a cold day.
