By energetically rubbing the wound with this juice all baneful effects of the ipok are checked. I believe that it is amongst creepers that the most powerful poisons must be sought. The Sakai is on confidential terms with the giù u legop, giù u labor, giù u lampat, giù u masè and the giù u loo, but the lampon and broial are not forgotten either.
Upon hearing what had happened, he exclaimed: "This is the work of a Mai-Gop, because one of our darts would have passed right through you, and besides none of us would harm you because you are good to us". The kind fellow sucked out my wound and knew by its reddish-black colour that the poison used was a mixture of legop and ipok juices, most deadly in its effect.
If there has been so much imposture or hallucination amongst advanced peoples (or supposed to be such) we cannot reproach the poor Sakai for his ignorance if in all good faith he thinks that a pinch of pounded bees and serpents' teeth increases the virulence of the legop poison. Does he not also believe that the mysterious words muttered by the Al

It seems to me that the only difference passing between these creepers is in the intensity of virulence, but not in the nature of the venomous substances, and it is just for this that the Sakais favour the legop and make it the centre of their primitive chemical studies because it furnishes them with the strongest and most fatal of poisons.
Science alone can pronounce accurately upon the toxical qualities of the legop and I am always ready to assist it with my modest experience. Wishing to solve every doubt and also to find out an antidote to this poison I sacrificed many innocent creatures, but I will relate the pitiful end of only two.
To my knowledge no recognized studies have ever been made to ascertain the true force of legop, so one is free to calculate it at its maximum or minimum, especially when its susceptibility to atmospheric changes is considered. And this was the disillusion of one who wanted to try its effects on a dog. The poor beast howled with the pain but did not present any symptom of poisoning.
This parasite, as soon as it is long enough, clings to one of the superb vegetable kings of the forest, twining round it with a tenacious hold. Its trunk is from 2 to 4 inches in diameter and gives vigorous life to about 5000 feet of its offspring. The legop leaves are green, smooth and glossy, similar in form to those of the lemon, but they are larger.
For certain the blood remains unaltered, or at least no change is visible and the flesh of animals killed with legop does not lose any of its flavour nor is there any danger in eating it.
All the Sakais extract and prepare poison from the legop but there is a tribe living in the most remote parts of the forest, severed from all intercourse with civilized beings, and in consequence pure barbarians, who are renowned for their ability in the preparation of the same, and whose products are considered much superior in strength.
