Kamala's Description: In the P. J. for August, 1854 (p. 65), appeared an account by Charles Lowe of Manchester, of a "new variety of balsam of copaiba" derived from the East Indies. In a subsequent communication to the same journal from Daniel Hanbury, it appears that this product, though offered for sale in the London market as balsam of copaiba, is known in India under the names of wood oil and gurjun balsam. This must not be confounded with the Chinese wood oil, which is used as a varnish. | |
