    asion I strongly advocate returning to the root of Ghondodendron, which is the drug the reputation of Pareira Brava was origi- lled. il this root is regarded as the legitimate 11 still held in the highest esteem, it has not been clearly recognized by writers, it is not altogether unknown, seems to have been acquainted with it Society’s Museum marked Pareira Brava. I myself met with it in the market in 1862. Lastly Dr. Squibb has pointed out* that some small lots of Pareira Brava imported into New York in 1871 con- sisted in large part of a drug entirely different from any previously seen, and that he at first supposed it an adulteration ; but that subsequent examination had shown him that tire drug in question agreed well with the older descriptions of Pareira Brava, ROOT (?)

From Dr. Squibb’s description I feel sure that the drug before ! him was the same as that to which I have called attention in the present paper.f There can be no doubt that it would become plen- tiful if the demand should arise, and that it would advantageously replace the worthless kind now found in the drug trade. * American Journal of Pharmacy, March 1, 1872, 107 + Specimens received from Dr. S., 11th August, have. c.iu- hlined this supposition.
