+====== CURARE ======
+<span tc1>{{anchor:s1}}Curare. {{anchor:s2}}(Curara).</span>
+{{anchor:s3}}A powerful poison used by the South American Indians upon their arrows.
+{{anchor:s4}}Supposed to have been first introduced into Europe by Sir Walter Raleigh, in 1595, who became acquainted with it in Guiana.
+{{anchor:s5}}"Authorities differ as to the composition of this poison. {{anchor:s6}}Probably several totally different kinds of poison are designated by the same name. {{anchor:s7}}According to M. Goudot, who learned the mode of preparation from an Indian tribe, it is made by adding to the concentrated juice of a creeping plant called Curari, the poison obtained from the virus bags of some of the most venomous serpents. {{anchor:s8}}Another author and traveler, M. de Castellnau, who witnessed the preparation of the poison by another tribe, says that it is composed of the inspissated juice of the Cocculus toxicoferus, and of a new species of Strychnos. {{anchor:s9}}Further observations will doubtless show that there is a great difference in the effects of different specimens of curara poison. {{anchor:s10}}M. Roulin asserts that the poison is obtained from a species of toad by half roasting the animal over a slow fire, when the venom exudes from the pores of its skin and is carefully collected on small wooden knives and preserved in small earthenware vessels.
+{{anchor:s11}}The curara poison, which has found its way to Europe, is usually a brownish-black, resinous looking substance, something like the extract of liquorice. {{anchor:s12}}It seems to keep well for an indefinite length of time. {{anchor:s13}}A heat of 212 does not seem to destroy its power. {{anchor:s14}}The active principle is soluble in all animal fluids whether acid or alkaline. {{anchor:s15}}The aqueous and alcoholic solutions are of a fine red color, the former the darkest. {{anchor:s16}}A peculiar substance called Curarine has been obtained from it". {{anchor:s17}}--Bernard, B. J. H., vol. 16.
