Drug That Destroys Fear And Gives Valor Studied
Columbus Ohio Aug 23 results of a diagnostical study of a drug said to destroy fear and create valor will be presented at the American Pharmaceutical association convention in Buffalo. The chemical test is in New York. The drug is defined as the root and rhizome of banisteri caspi, a woody vine from the Amazon basin also called syahuasca. It was brought to North American pharmacists by Dean H H Busby who joined the Mulford expedition. In Bolivia the decoction is used as a stimulating beverage with a certain leaf. In southern Colombia men drink caapi to drive away devils during a wild dance, beating themselves until welts form as they endure the ritual. The caapi plant is abundant in the Amazon and may be valuable in medicine.
