Of A. preeatoriics, "Waring says the roots and leaves are demulcent, and an 

 extract forms an excellent substitute for ordinary liquorice. The seeds are purgative 

 and emetic. Dr. Mason also writes: "The jewellers use the seed of an Ahnis, red 

 ■with a black eye or black with a white eye, for small weights. It is a popular 

 belief that they almost uniformly weigh exactly one grain troy, but I have weighed 

 many and found them to vary from one to two grains. The Burmese use them 

 within a fraction for two-grain weights, one hundred and twenty by one mode of 

 reckoning, and one hundred and twenty-eight by another, make one tickal, which 

 weighs, according to Capt. Low, 2o3-7o grains troy." ■
