Andira Inermis
This is a native of Senegambia. Its bark is
anthelmintic, but requires care in its administration, being
powerfully narcotic. It has a sweetish taste, but a disagreeable
smell, and is generally given in the form of a decoction, which is
made by boiling an ounce of the dried bark in a quart of water
until it assumes the color of Madeira wine. Three or four grains
of the powdered bark acts as a powerful purgative. The bark is
known as bastard cabbage bark, or worm bark. It is almost obsolete
in medicine.
