All these give anaesthesia or re- lief from pain, Their main source is plants-- the Foxglove,. Belladonna, Aconit ey, Henbane, Thorn-apple, Valerian. These grow wild in certain parts of Britain and are classed as poi- sonous, to be left strictly alone or exterminated. Yet on herb farms thropghout the country these same plants are being deliberately cultivated and harvest- ~ ed, to be used later to 'Felieve pain A and save life. Recently, however, most research has been concentrated on tropical plants. "Brazil has been the happy hunt- "ing ground-for-tcams of-botanists from all countries, anxious to test' the medical properties of hundreds of "Indian cures." Many plants have been collected 'rom the "banks of the Cururu River, near the Matto Grosso, with the help of the Mundurucu Indians. These Indians were savage head- hunters until Franciscan priests converted them to Christianity half a century ago. : Their knowledge of the curative properties of rare _jungle plants has astonished modern science. Among their- cures is a red sap obtained from the chiririshep tree, which, when used in tea or dissolv- ed in one's bath water, is said to --------curc acne; etzema, and other skin--| infections. Another native remedy is one for whooping cough. Tea is made from a patasitic growth called guaribinha, which grows in the crutches of trees. Native patients scem to be cured within a few hours of being treated. Specimens have been taken so that the active principle in the plant can be isolated and perhaps synthe- sized and manufactured. The civilized world 'may yet benefit from this primitive cure, In the search for tropical plants yielding new, medicines and drugs, botanists stumbled on an excellent ~ substitute for: soap:= =I This is the red ash --¢"Darting~ tonia asiatica"), a large, 100-foot- high tree found near the Equator, with big, smooth leaves and pink flowers with many stamens.
