APPENDIX I.
Poisonous Woods.
A number of woods show in less or more degree during their technical use disturbances of health. Some of these are woods which possess neither odoriferous nor colouring matter, and the opinion that these bodies are the source of the poisonous action is, therefore, untenable. Amongst indigenous woods the following possess poisonous properties: Taxus baccata, Juniperus sabina, Cytisus laburnum, Rhus tiphina, Rhus Cotinus, and Coriaria myrtifiolia. These, however, are seldom used, and then only in small pieces. Of foreign woods, poisonous properties have been found in Buxus sempervirens, Hippomane mancinella, Excæcaria agallocha, Amyris balsamifera, Convolvulus scoparius, and Santalum album, and various satin woods.-J.
