   Cf. {Wourall}.]
   A black resinoid extract prepared by the South American
   Indians from the bark of several species of {Strychnos}
   ({Strychnos toxifera}, etc.). It sometimes has little effect
   when taken internally, but is quickly fatal when introduced
   into the blood, and used by the Indians as an arrow poison.
