 nate Tree. 5 N. Africa. Cultivated in India. Fl. large, scarlet and fr. at 

 different periods of the year. — The roots of this tree were already known 

 in the time of Celsus as a remedy against worms, but have since 1804 

 performed such wonders in this respect, that they may almost be 

 considered specific against tape-worms ; two ounces of the bark of the 

 dried root, cut into pieces, are boiled in a pint and a half of water till 

 half a pint remains, four table spoonsful of the strained decoction 

 are then given (to grown-up persons) every half hour, till general dis- 

 comfort is produced, when the worms soon appear. — To infants it 

 has been found preferable to give, twice a day, half a tea spoonful of 

 the expressed juice of the young roots, mixed with a table spoonful of 

 curds (^) and a little sugar, till the worm is expelled. The flowers 

 and the rind of the fruit are tonic and astringent, and as well as a de- 

 coction of the bark of the root, used in dysenteric and other aff^ections 

 of the bowels. (Trans, mod. phys. soc. Calcutta, vol. 1, p. 363-64.
