<Thc QUASSIA SIMARUBA. 79 



In putrid fevers, (as we are told) attended with coldnefs of 

 the extremities, colliquative fweats and ftools, and great dejec- 

 tion of fpirits, this bark performed wonders, and many reco- 

 vered by its ufe. Vide Roupe de Morbis Navigantium, p. 311. 



Habitual colics, with bloody ftools, attended with fever 

 and delirium, have been radically cured by the fimaruba bark. 



Immoderate fluxes of the menfes and from piles, have been 

 happily flopped by this medicine ', and it would appear from 

 fome late trials, that fluor albus has been remedied by the fame 

 bark. 



De Ha en found the fimaruba to be an excellent vermifuge ; 

 and ufed it with fuccefs in difeafes depending on worms, parti- 

 cularly fluzes. 



My own experience, and that of many living friends, are 

 convincing proofs to me of the efficacy of this medicine ; and 

 I hope the fimaruba bark will foon be in more general ufe. 



QUASSIA,
