We regret to say that we lost the drawings and the notes which we had
collected about the tree called by the Brazilians "panacea" on
account of the many ailments for which they use it. It is called in Brazil, azougue
dos pobres (= mercury of the poor/= Quecksilber armer Leute)/= cabedula/= erva carneira
This tree is exceedingly common in Brazil; knowing its name, foreign
homoeopathists will find it perhaps easier to procure the plant.
