CINCHONA FLAVA—YELLOW CINCHONA.
CALISAYA BARK PERUVIAN BARK.
Source.—Cinchona is the bark of the tree cinchona calisaya,
which grows on the western coast of South America, especially
of Bolivia and Southern Peru. Different varieties are named,
according to their color, as Cinchona Flava., yellow cinchona ; C/>/-
chona Pallida.^Y*di\c c'mchom.; Cinchona Rubra^ red c'lnchom. The
medical properties of these barks depend upon the alkaloids they
contain in varying proportions, ^uinina being the most important.
Medical Properties and Action.—The yellow bark has a much
more bitter taste than the others, but is comparatively free from
acidity. It is brownish yellow, the powder being of an orange
color, and it containsmore of the alkaloid quinine than the other
barks.
Cinchona is tonic, astringent and antiperiodic, and the dif-
ferent varieties owe their tonic and antiperiodic properties to the
alkaloids quinina., cinchonina and cinchonidina. On account of
the large quantity of the powdered barks it is necessary to take
in order to obtain the full effects, and which cause, in some
cases, derangement of the stomach, vomiting, headache and con-
