For many years, a false, very poisonous bark has been sold in the place of the real Angustura, without any one knowing the tree from which that bark came.

This tree is now supposed to be the Brucea ferruginea.

The bark of this tree is said to furnish the same alkaloid as Nux vomica, Ignatia, etc.

The real Angustura possesses, likewise, great medicinal powers.

Although we, obtain that bark from the tree called Bonplandia trifoliata, which is found on St.Thomas del Angus- tura, in South America, nevertheless, this drug, when impro- perly administered, may do great injury.

Dr.

Wurzner, of Eilenburg, has reported to me that four persons, each of whom had taken ten to twelve grains of the extract in the shape of pills, were attacked with

It is also -proposed against ischias postica.
