On the right is a sketch of the Bandicoot Berry (Leea Indica). A decoction of the root is given in colic, is
cooling and relieves thirst. In Goa, the root is much used in diarrhoeal and
chronic dysentery. The roasted leaves are applied to the head in vertigo.
The juice of the young leaves is a digestive.
CRAB at $8! SALE! That's what they always say. There is one question, though. What kind of crab is it? Is it a swamp crab, a 'beach' crab or a HERMIT CRAB? Tee hee, it's not a hermit crab by the LOOK of it.
