The wood is good and handsome, tough and elastic, taking a good polish; it 

 deserves to be better known and to be in more general use for cabinet-work {Gamble). 

 From the yellow resinous substance which oft^n fills the pores of the heart wood an 

 oily extract is obtained which is employed in cutaneous diseases {Dalzell ^ Gibson). 

 Roxburgh says that one of the capsules would make a dangerous bludgeon.
