Notes: Opuscular source: Letter from Mr Williams to Mr Holmes March 19 1891- Dear Sir, Can you give me any information respecting the root which I enclose for inspection, it is a nature of South Africa. The natives and Dutch use very extensively as a medicine, for internal pains and more especially for kidney, lumbago and piles and the gentleman who sends this says its effect is wonderful and cures like magic, they make an extract by steeping in spirit and allow to remain in the sun and taking a tablespoon dos, e. If you can give me any information as to its name, natural order etc. I would be feel greatly obliged.
