MATERIA MEDICA
practitioners in Southern India, but they have completely failed in my
hands, though I have tried them in very large doses. They are at
most a slight stimulant, but have not been found useful even as such
in any particular disease. Applied externally in the form of a paste, the
fresh root-bark and the bark act as a good vesicant and rubefacient.
The former is much superior to the latter in this respect.
Preparations.— Of the root—" Compound Spirit of Moringa." In
preparing this spirit I have adopted the formula given in the Bengal
Pharmacopœia and quoted in the Pharmacopœia of India (p. 61), but
increased its strength by doubling the proportion of the moringa-root,
as follows :—Take of the Moringa-root, sliced, twenty ounces ; Orange
peel, ten ounces ; Nutmegs, bruised, two drachms and a half ; Proof
Spirit, four pints ; Water, one pint and a half. Mix and distil four
pints.
Doses.—Of the Compound Spirit of Moringa, from one to four fluid
drachms.
European Drugs for which they may be substituted.— Internally, the
Compound Spirit of Moringa is a good substitute for Spirit. ammon.
arom., Tinct. cascarillæ, Tinct. Valerianæ, Tinct. moschi, Tinct. carda
-mom. comp., and Spirit. armoraciæ comp. ; and externally, the root-
bark and the bark, particularly the former, is a fair substitute for the
mustard flour imported from Europe and for Emplastrum cantharidis.
Remarks.— The fresh root of a large and well-grown Moringa tree
varies in its diameter, in the thickest part, from 1 to 4 inches, and in
its length, from 1 to 3 feet, tapering gradually towards its end. It is
pale and yellowish-white internally and externally, porous, pretty soft,
slightly aromatic and disagreeable in smell, and pungent in taste. It
is covered with a bark (the root-bark), which has the same color, smell
and taste, and is about 1 or 2 lines in thickness. The bark of the
trunk is about ½ inch thick, and its taste and smell are similar to those
of the root-bark, but somewhat weaker. It is covered with a rough
and scaly epidermis, which is generally of a brown or greyish-brown
color, and is easily removed. The inner bark is externally of a green
-ish, yellowish or pale white color, and its color internally is pale or
yellowish white.
The Compound Spirit of Moringa is so useful in all the affections
I have mentioned above, that it deserves to be brought into general use
in all the large Dispensaries and Hospitals,

Therapeutic Uses .—Although a powerful astringent, Catechu is not
half as useful in diarrhœa and dysentery when administered alone as it
is when used. in combination with some other astringent and aromatic
drugs, as is the case with all its preparations described in the Pharma-
copœia of India. The compound-powder of Catechu is, therefore, very
useful in the above-named diseases; in fact, it is one of the prepara-
tions most frequently used by me in the Triplicane Dispensary, parti-
cularly in the treatment of children. The Tincture of this drug is a
very valuable adjunct to Mistura Cretæ, as mentioned in the Pharma-
copœia of India and other medical works; but to ensure its best effects
it should always be mixed in each dose of the mixture just before it is
administered to the patient. From some cause or other its action is
not so satisfactory when it is mixed with Mistura Cretæ and kept for
use for a day or two.
According to my own experience Catechu is, in the form of injec-
tion, one of the most useful drugs in the treatment of gonorrhœa. As
simple as the following formula is, it has proved successful in many
cases, and sometimes even without the assistance of internal remedies.
R Pulveris Catechu, 3iss.
Mucil. Acaciæ, 3vi.
Aquæ puræ, ad.hiss. Misce fiat injectio.
A third part to be injected three times in the 24 hours. To ensure
the desired effect, some care is necessary in injecting the medicine.
Having filled a glass syringe with the injection, the patient should
introduce its bulbous extremity into the urethra to the extent of an
inch with his right hand. Then, holding upright the penis with his
left forefinger and thumb, so as to compress the urethra against the
syringe to prevent the escape of the fluid, he should pass the liquid freely
into that canal by pressing down the piston with his right hand. The
syringe should now be withdrawn, but the orifice of the urethra should
still be compressed, and the fluid be retained for two or three minutes.
On removing the finger and thumb, the injection will be thrown out
by the elasticity of the urethra.
Preparations. —Compound powder, Tincture, Infusion and Injection.
I have already described the last-named preparation (Injection) under
the preceding heading " Therapeutic Uses," and the rest are chiefly in
accordance with the description in the Pharmacopœia of India . Com-
pound powder: Take of Black-catechu, in powder, four ounces; Kino
and Rhatany-root, in powder, of each, two ounces; Cinnamon-bark and
138
MATERIA MEDICA OF MADRAS.
Nutmeg, in powder, of each, one ounce. Mix them thoroughly, pass the
powder through a fine sieve, and finally rub it lightly in a mortar.
Keep it in a stoppered bottle. Tincture: Take of Black-catechu, in
coarse powder, two ounces and a half; Cinnamon-bark bruised, one
ounce; Proof-spirit, one pint. Macerate for seven days in a closed
vessel with occasional agitation; press, strain, filter and add sufficient
proof spirit to make one pint. Infusion: Take of Black-catechu, in coarse
powder, one hundred and sixty grains; Cinnamon-bark, bruised, thirty
grains; Boiling-water, ten fluid ounces. Infuse in a covered vessel for
half an hour, and strain.
Doses.—Of the Extract or Catechu in powder, from fifteen to thirty
grains; of the Compound powder, from fifteen to forty grains; of the
Tincture, from one-half to two fluid drachms; and of the Infusion, from
one to two fluid ounces.
European Drugs for which they may be substituted. —Pale-catechu,
Oak-bark, Log-wood, Rhatany and Botany-Bay-Kino.
Remarks.—The Extract of A. Catechu or Black-catechu is met with
in the Madras market either in quadrangular pieces or plates. In the
latter case, they are generally from 4 to 7 inches long and from 2 to 4
inches broad, and about an inch in thickness. The drug is dark-brown
in color, astringent and bitterish in taste, and breaks with a shining
fracture. The drug contains a large proportion of catechu tannic acid
and a crystalline substance termed catechin.
There was a doubt in my mind about 15 or 16 years ago as to the
nature of this catechu, and I thought it was not the produce of any
species of Acacia. To remove this doubt I reared a few plants of A.
Catechu, Willd, in my own compound, and felled them when they were
more than 12 years' old and about a foot in diameter. In one of these
trees the heart-wood was more than 6 inches in thickness and of a
bluish-black color. Having converted a portion of this wood into chips
and shavings, I boiled them in an earthen vessel in the open air.
When the liquor was thick and strong I decanted it into another
earthen vessel and continued the evaporation till it assumed the con
-sistency of a soft extract, and then removed it to a China plate and
allowed it to become dry in the sun. With the exception of the form
the drug I prepared was quite identical in its physical, chemical and
medical properties to the Black-catechu I have described above.
Dr. H. Worth has reported on the yield of catechu from different
samples of the wood of A. Catechu in Oudh and Burma (Indian Forester,
October, December 1890.) He finds that the professional makers of
kattah work up the sterns having white spots in the heart-wood, and
the result of several experiments proves that the spotted wood yields
more extract and more catechin than that without spots.—(D.H.)
