Wood is much efteem’d for Tables, Cabinets, and 
other curious Works in Joinery 5 but the virulent 
and dangerous Properties of the Sap caufe a gene- 
ral Fear, or at lead Caution, in felling them. This, 
fays the Author, I was not fufficiently fatisfy’d of, 
till affifting in the cutting down a Tree of this 
kind on Andros Ifland, I paid for my Incredulity : 
Some of the milky poifonous J uice fpirting in my 
Eyes, I was two Days totally deprived of Sight, and 
my Eyes and Face much dwell'd, and felt a violent 
pricking Fain the firft twenty-four Hours 5 which 
from that Time abated gradually with the Swelling, 
and went off without any Application, or Remedy, 
none in that uninhabited Ifland being to be had. It 
is no Wonder that the Sap of this Tree fliould be 
fo virulent, when Rain or Dew falling from its 
Leaves on the naked Flefh caufes Blifters- on the 
Skin*
