Excerpt from The American Journal of Pharmacy, Vol. 29 Upon a recent visit to the East, I was shown by Mr. Edward Parrish, of Philadelphia, a specimen of a bark which he informed me was offered for sale by one of the drug houses of that city as the genuine Winter's bark. My Opinion was asked, at the same time, concerning it whether it was Winter's bark or not; if not, was I acquainted with it, and what was the name and origin of it? From the appearance of the bark it was easy for any one acquainted with that of the genuine Winter's bark, to decide at once that it was not the same; but what it was, or its origin, we were unable to tell. Meeting afterwards with Prof. Wm. Procter, I questioned him concerning the same, and found that he was also unacquainted with it.
