Galipea cusp aria, (CT. S. D.). Rutacece.
A bark from Angustura, South America, said to come from Galipea offici- nalis (Hancock), or Bonplandia trifoliata (Bonpland and Humboldt), but according to Schomburgk the tree is not known.
Proved by Hahnemann and introduced on account of the horrible poi- soning cases which filled the journals from 1804 to 1815. He published it in 1821, in Part VI. of his Mat. Med. His own symptoms, 93 in number; those of his pupils, 209.
A British wholesale druggist had sent a lot of unsaleable bark, coming from the East Indies, to Holland, and from Holland it went all over Ger- many, under the name of Angustura, a bark which had come into fashion for fever and diarrhoea until so many were killed by it that the sale of it was forbidden. It was then found that there were two kinds of the bark in trade, the one the vera the other a falsa.
Chemistry showed that the one called /aZsa contained strychnine. In our toxicologies we find eleven cases of poisoning with it. Hahnemann held the erroneous opinion, which he subsequently modified (Mat. Med. Pura, 2d edit., 1827), that the poisonings were due to the massive doses given the sick, and he did not include the symptoms of Angustura falsa, as did Boen- ninghausen some time later.
In the last number of his Archives, 1848, Stapf published valuable obser- vations of Dr. Schreter on a sensitive woman, with the 30th centes., in water ; a table-spoonful daily for sixteen consecutive days. Lembke made a proving in 1872. All are contained in Allen's Encyclopedia. For symp- toms of Angustura falsa, see Nucis vomicse cortex (erroneously called Brucea antidysenterica.)
