Peru, ever since the year 1649, has furnished Europe with the Jesuits Bark. But lately, M. de Bradier, an inhabitant of Guadeloupe, has introduced another species, under the name of Quinquina Piton. Its rind is thinner, browner, and much more bitter than that of Peru. It is also very different in its effects. It possesses the property of an emetic, a circumstance which certainly renders it preferable to the other in intermittent fevers. It likewise prevents all kinds of obstructions, dropsies, and the various fatal disorders which sometimes arise from the too frequent use of the common Jesuits Bark.--A physician of this city has published about a fortnight since a curious and interesting pamphlet on the virtues of this newly discovered medicine.
