In -this I may have acted wrong, but I did so from the conviction, that by -this method, the names would be more familiar, and better understood, -by the Natives in researches after the different drugs. - -I have inserted as many of the systematic names as I could trace, -both from Dr. Fleming's work, and those of others; but I regret, -that I was not honored in the acquaintance of any Botanist who could -have assisted me with more. - -To the youth of the profession, I trust the work may be acceptable, by -leading them to the knowledge, that such medicines are in existence; -and my medical brethren of the higher grades may not deem further -inquiry into the properties of native drugs beneath their notice. - -To the profession at large, then, I beg leave to dedicate this -Translation, with the hope, that they will make due allowance for -all faults, and that some of the more experienced will favor us with -another and better edition. - -To my respected friends Messrs. Wilson and Twining, the profession is -indebted, that this little work ever saw light; and though they are -godfathers to none of its errors, yet without their encouragement and -aid, it must have slumbered in oblivion, and remained as was intended, -(after the failure of an attempt on the part of the translator,) -a manual for his own private use. - - - - - - - - -GLOSSARY. - - -Acouta, Herpes. -Aruk, Distilled liquid. -Boolbul, Indian Nightingale. -Badgola, Splenitis. -Coir, Fibrous substance surrounding the Cocoanut. -Daad, Impetigo. -Dhats, Component parts of the human frame. -Elaous, Disease of the Intestines.

The fruit is -about the size of, and very much resembling in shape, a goat's kidney, -and having the external appearance of an apple. When ripe, it sometimes -retains the green color, but oftener becomes yellow, or red and yellow. - -The virtues ascribed to this tree, are as follows:--The bruised -leaves and young shoots applied to the hair, expedite its growth, -and considerably darken its color. - -The bark of the trunk of the tree, and of its roots, is cooling and -astringent; the former powerfully so. The leaves are astringent, -and promote digestion; their ashes styptic. - -The young flowers are cool and drying; have a pleasant aromatic scent, -and when taken internally, are cooling and astringent; recommended -for the cure of chronic Gonorrhoea or Gleet, purulent expectoration, -bilious foulness of the blood and boils. The young unripe fruit has -much acidity, and is drying; moderately used, it increases all the -animal secretions, and is beneficial in chronic affections of the -liver; it promotes appetite, and is lithonthriptic. The fruit, when -ripe, is sweet, cooling, mucilaginous and heavy, tending to allay -thirst, and useful in nervous affections; strengthens the system, -restores impaired appetite, (is said to moderate an increased secretion -of bile,) and improves the complexion. The fruit is of various sizes, -from a few drachms to a pound weight; but it is usually met with -weighing about 4 ounces. It becomes acid about a month after the fall -of the flower, in which state it is used as preserves, such as jellies, -pickles, &c.; at this time, too, it is used as seasoning for Pilaus, -and other dishes; for when the stone or kernel has become hard, it -is no longer fit for these purposes. When the fruit has attained its -full growth, and when nearly ripe, it is to be taken from the tree, -and put into dry grass, straw, or the leaves of the Palass tree, and -there allowed to become ripe; this process deprives it of all acidity, -and also prevents the formation of a resinous gum, which it contracts -when allowed to ripen on the tree, and which renders it too pungent -to be eaten with relish. - -The fruit is in perfection in the hot winds, and when the rains -commence, it ripens very fast; before the cold weather it is usually -out of season. - -There are some trees that blossom the whole year, and some few that -even produce fruit; but instances of this are very rare. - -There is a variety of this tree on which the fruit is sweet from its -first formation; this requires to be used early, otherwise it will -in all probability become a prey to insects. - -Some trees produce fruit only once in 4 years. In general, it produces -fruit in abundance every second year, and less in the alternate year; -some are even perfectly barren every alternate year. - -There is a mode of manuring this tree, which it is said improves -the flavour of the fruit greatly; this is mixing the juice of its -fruit with milk, and pouring it over the roots. It is also said to -be possible to communicate the flavor of any particular fruit to the -mangoe, by its expressed juice being made use of, as an application -to the roots of the tree. - -The kernel of the mangoe, roasted, is pleasant to the taste, and -grateful to the stomach; it is much recommended in laxities of the -bowels, and strengthens the primÊ viÊ; water drank after having eat -of this kernel, seems to possess a flavor peculiarly excellent. The -usual mode of preparing them, is to allow them to remain exposed to -the rains, till the shell shall have become decayed; by this process -it is deprived of any heating or irritating property. Prepared in this -manner, and kept a short time in lime juice, taken out, bruised and -mixed with salt, fennel, &c, it is much extolled for strengthening -the stomach, and promoting digestion. - -If preserved for 3 years, pounded, and swallowed to the quantity of a -tolah, with a little water, no medicine is preferable for strengthening -bowels habitually lax. - -In the acid state, the fruit is very prejudicial to those who have -any disorders in their teeth, a cough, an affection of the chest, or -who are subject to cholicky pain in the bowels, but very beneficial -when used in irritable habits. The best method of using them is -this. The acid unripe fruit, after the outer rind has been peeled -off, is to be cut into thin slices, and infused for some hours in -water; this water so impregnated, is to be drained off, mixed with -a sufficient proportion of sugar, and used as sherbet. It produces a -great relish for food, and is in other respects beneficial. The same -effects are produced by the unripe fruit, being roasted and allowed to -remain in water, as above mentioned. It is recommended in paralysis, -from coup de vent. Many physicians have considered the mangoe to be -of a cooling nature, but, in my opinion, it is heating in all its -stages. The Yunani physicians have stated the ripe fruit to be hot -in the 2d, and dry in the 3d degree. - -Its virtues may be described in a few words. It strengthens the -system, gives tone to the kidnies, restores impaired appetite, &c. It -is aperient, improves the complexion, beneficial in piles, an useful -deobstruent, braces and increases the bulk of the solids, and removes -nervous affections. In some of these disorders I am inclined to doubt -of its good effects, but such virtues are attributed to it. It is -recommended, in order to prevent any bad effects from the fruit in -its unripe state, that raisins be eaten with it. Hukeem Alwee Khan, -a man of eminence in his profession in the reign of Mahommed Shah, -says, that if ever this fruit disagreed with the system, it must have -been eaten when unripe or green. - -I had occasion to attend a gentleman of very high rank, who laboured -under dropsy; I cured him of the disease, but 3 years afterwards, -having eaten a large quantity of mangoes, the disease returned, -and I have observed the same effects in other cases. - -Hukeem Alli Mughphoor, physician, states, that influenced by the -resemblance of the mangoe to the human kidney, he concluded that -it must be beneficial in that organ, (disorders of;) he therefore -prescribed it in a case of hectic fever, arising from diseased kidney, -and completely cured the disease. In this I differ from him entirely; -he must have mistaken the nature of the complaint, for a remedy given -expressly for the cure of a disease in the kidney, could not, at the -same time, have removed the fever, excepting appropriate medicines -had been administered along with it!! - -The best mangoes are those having a thin juice, sweet and free from -fibres; and they ought to be cooled in water or in ice, especially -during the hot weather. It is preferable to use the juice of the fruit -without eating any of the fibrous parts; a neglect of this may produce -various disorders, such as indigestion, cholicky pains, &c. It is very -common to eat the expressed juice, mixed with sugar and other things, -with rice, or with bread, but this is great imprudence; for in the -most healthy subjects it may produce nausea, and general uneasiness. - -Should any ill effects follow the use of the mangoe, milk, or the -kernel of the fruit, will be found a corrector. My father's opinion -is, that these are not the only remedies; for if it produces any -heating effect, curdled milk will give relief, or even cold water, -or acidulated sherbet, and he himself was always in the habit of -using the Phalsa sherbet on these occasions. - -Should cholic be produced, the Oil of Almonds or other sweet oils, -will remove the complaint; and a diarrhoea is to be cured by the use of -the kernel; and a swelling of the abdomen, by milk, in which a little -ginger has been mixed; or even ginger by itself will have the effect - -A substitute for mangoe, as a medicine, may be had in Chobe Cheenee. - -In general, it will be adviseable to abstain from the use of the -mangoe, till 2 or 3 showers of rain have fallen; but those of a -cold phlegmatic or melancholic temperament do not require to be -so particular. - -Those for whose complaints mangoes have been recommended, have in a -few months derived great benefit from their use, by eating them with -camel's milk. There are many kinds of this fruit, and their names -are as various; but the stronger the scent, the more effectual they -are as a medicine. In Persian it is called Nugzuck. - -2 Aramsheetul.--Pungent and cooling; useful in bilious and catarrhal -complaints; also recommended in foulness of the blood. - -3 Akaholie.--Vermifuge, also recommended in bilious and catarrhal -disorders, in seminal weakness and gonorrhoea. - -4 Adki.--Vide Arhir. - -5 Anula. (nasal N.)--Or Amle, (Phyllanthus emblica, W. Murray IV. 127, -Myrobolans.) The fruit round, like a plum. The tree like that of the -tamarind, of a pleasant acid, and sweetish astringent taste. It is -aperient, cooling, and drying; of great use in eruptions of the skin, -arising from a redundance of bile. Other virtues ascribed to this -fruit may be found in all Yunani works. It is also called Bidjee and -Dhatri Phill, used by the natives for cleansing the hair. - -6 Aru.--A variety of plum, much resembling the common sort, both in -the tree and fruit; it however possesses more acidity, and is less -easy of digestion. - -7 Abi.--Pyrus Cidonia. The Quince; slightly astringent, and cool in -a great degree; heavy and difficult of digestion, yet it is gently -laxative and expectorant, and is recommended for strengthening the -powers of virility. In Arabic Siffirjill, Persian Behi. - -8 Aak.--Arug, Mudar, Asclepias gigantea. A milky shrub, very common -all over India; its pod resembles a mangoe, but rather longer in -proportion: when ripe it breaks, and is found filled with a white -substance, resembling silk, to which the seeds are fixed. The leaves -of the plant resemble the Dak, but are somewhat smaller: its height is -generally from 1 to 1 1/2 yard; when its leaves or stalk are broken, -a white milky liquid exudes. There are two kinds, white and red; -both are purgatives, violently so. It is said to be beneficial in -the following disorders. Foulness of the blood, bilious affections, -Juzam, Psora, ZÊrbad, boils, cuticular eruptions, diseases of the -liver, visceral obstructions, hÊmorrhoids, all internal diseases, -dropsy and worms. - -("Many and wonderful virtues are ascribed to this plant; but I must -refer those who have faith in charms to the original Taleef Shereef, -when their curiosity will be amply gratified." Translator.) - -All the above virtues have been ascribed to this plant; my opinion -is, that the application of the leaves is useful in swellings, -promotes suppuration in indolent tumors, and cures eruptions on the -skin. The milk blisters, and if applied to the eye, it produces -swelling, itchiness, and loss of vision. The powder of the root, -mixed with goat's blood and fresh butter, and applied to the eye, -is said materially to strengthen vision. In other works it is said, -that the milk of every variety of this plant is poisonous, and -violently cathartic. - -9 Aal.--Vide Mujeet, Rubia, Madder, a wood used for dyeing a red -color, and forming a principal article of commerce in some parts of -India. In the "Dhara Shakoi" it is called Mujeet, but I suspect that -they are different plants, as the Mujeet is thin, and of a fine red -color; whereas the Aal is blackish, with a tinge of yellow, though -not thicker than the other. - -10 Aditt Bagut.--In Persian, Aftab Perust, Helianthus Annuus. The -sun-flower; the name of a flower called also Soorujmookee. The -stem grows straight about a man's height; the leaves are broad and -triangular, the flower circular, flat and yellow, with serrated edges, -and it is said to follow the sun in his diurnal progress. There are -two kinds, a small and greater; their medical properties the same; -they are bitter to the taste, and heating in a considerable degree. It -is beneficial in cholicks, dropsical affections, foulness of stomach, -and rheumatism; it also improves appetite, and promotes expectoration -in cases of cold, accompanied by fever. - -11 Area.--A culinary fruit resembling the cucumber, and grows in -the rainy season; it is so cooling that it produces pains all over -the body; it is moreover difficult of digestion, and if taken in any -quantity produces fever. - -12 Anwul (Nasal).--A large tree very common in India, which when -in flower, has a very beautiful appearance; its flowers are yellow, -resembling those of the Cassia. There are two kinds of this, one called -Mahedi Anwul. Of this also there are two varieties. It is cooling, and -the medicinal properties of all varieties are the same. It is used with -good effect in bilious vomitings, and also in leprous affections of the -skin. It is recommended in weakness of the eyes, asthma, affections -of the chest, and foulness of blood. It strengthens the weak and -emaciated, and braces the solids when relaxed by disease or otherwise. - -13 Aruk.--This name is indiscriminately given to four different kinds -of trees; Nowa, Cutel, Burhil and Taar. - -14 Aloo (Bochara).--A kind of plum. - -15 Abnoos (Ebony).--A large tree, producing a sweet fruit like -grapes. Its leaves resemble those of the Sinobir, but are somewhat -broader: it is an evergreen, and its wood is, when good and full-grown, -dark-colored and durable; its leaves are smooth and glassy; its -properties said to be very active and deleterious; it is heating in -a considerable degree, and is said to be lithonthriptic. It dispels -flatulency, and cures tympanites. It is recommended in chronic -affections of the liver. Filings or raspings of the wood are styptic, -and its charcoal more so; a decoction of the wood, in spirits, is very -effectual in discussing scrophulous tumours, when externally applied. - -The raspings of the wood, mixed with whites of eggs, is an excellent -application to scalds and burns; they are also famed for cleaning -deep foul ulcers, and inducing the growth of healthy granulation. - -Taken internally, the dose is 10 1/2 Mashas, and should it disagree -with the stomach, which it often does, honey, or Gum Arabic, with -sweet basil, are correctors. The large Baer Tree, (Konar), is a good -substitute for the Abnoos; quality, hot 3, dry 2. Persian Awnoos. - -16 Anbihildee.--Curcuma zedoaria, (Rox.) Amomum Zed. Wildenow. An -Indian root, hot and dry in the 2d degree; useful in herpes, and -foulness of the blood, and much esteemed as an external application -in wounds and bruises, for which it is also internally exhibited: -orange juice used as a vehicle, corrects, in some degree, its heating -quality; or if this be not procurable, Bapahic, or the seed of the -Penwur, or Turmeric, will have the same effect; the medicine may be -given to the quantity of 3 1/2 Masha. - -17 Apurjeeta.--Clitoria ternatea, Crow's beak, a twining shrub. The -natives call it Kowwa Thontee, which literally signifies crow's -beak, also Neelisbund; the plant is about a foot and a half high, -and sometimes less, resembling the Cungheiy, only the leaves of the -latter are smooth and polished, while those of the former are rough and -hard; both the Apurjeeta and the variety Neelisbund, are cooling. It is -beneficial in weakness of sight, in clearing the voice and soreness of -the throat, and is useful in the poisonous bites of leeches. It is also -of use in rheumatic affections of the joints, Juzam, bilious disorders, -mucous discharge from the lungs or bowels; it allays general heat, -and is said to be an antidote to certain poisonous substances, and -of great efficacy in hard indolent tumours, and affections of the skin. - -18 Abruc.--Talc, A fossil substance, beneficial in seminal weakness, -redundance of bile, mucus, &c. An antidote to poison. The physicians -of Hindostan prepare it for use by calcination. Arabic, Tulk. - -19 Abhea.--A name for Hurr; it also signifies the water of life, -and a medicine called Guloe. - -20 Aotungun.--A very common seed, resembling coriander. In powder -it is recommended as giving strength to the system, and rendering -Aphrodisie more permanent. It is a very favorite medicine in India. It -is, moreover, useful in Nephritia and liver complaints, and it is very -innocent in its operation. Some physicians describe it as hot and dry, -in a considerable degree, and disagreeing with the stomach; they, -therefore, recommend it to be taken with a proportion of sugar. In -all its properties the Maadentezerrubad states the Bonphilly to be -nearly the same; dose 4 1/4 Mashas. - -21 Atees.--The root. Of this there are two kinds, a white and black, -and both are very common. The white kind resembles the Jedwaar; the -root is very irregular in thickness. It frequently is found resembling -the white Bahmen. Both kinds are bitter, astringent, pungent, and -heating; aiding digestion, useful in dysentery, vomiting, and piles. - -22 Adjmode.--Bishop's Weed, Sisson Ammi, (Linn.) Amoos, (Arab.) Ajooan, -(Hind.) Nemkha, P. Ajamodum, S. A hot seed, stomachic cordial and -stimulant. (Ajmood, Parsley? Taylor. Apium Involucratum.) Apium -Involucratum, Rox. M. S. "Sp. Ch. Annual, glaucous, villous, superior -leaflets filiform, both general and partial, involucra, about 6 -leaved." Bitter and pungent, light and heating, increases appetite, -induces costiveness, and strengthens the vital energy; increases -the seminal secretion, and removes pains and other disorders, -the consequence of colds; beneficial in nausea, is vermifuge, -relieves hiccup, and is useful in Dysuria, but it produces heat in -the abdomen. It is called Curufs, but it is only a variety of this, -and is something betwixt that and Aniseed, though this may be owing -to the difference of cultivation. - -23 Adjwain.--"Anise Seed. In Arabic, Aneesoon. Pimpinella Anisum, Linn. - -"Ujwain. The seed of a plant of the Dill kind, Taylor. Ligusticum -Adjwaen, Roxb. Sp. Ch. annual, erect, leaves super de compound, -with filiform leaflets, ridges and furrows of the seeds distinct -and scabrous. This is what is recommended to notice by Dr. Percival, -under the name Ajava seed." - -A species of the above, of which there are two kinds, one of which is -called Juhar; both are bitter, pungent, and aromatic; it resembles the -Ajmode, but is smaller, and has a strong aromatic scent. It assists -digestion, improves appetite, is useful in rheumatism and catarrhal -affections; is vermifuge, beneficial in dropsy, dispels flatulence, -and is highly extolled in flatulent cholic. A. Nanchoa. - - -24 Adjwain. 25 Khorasanee. "Hyosciamus niger, Linn. Black -Henbane. Narcotic. Corrector, Vinegar." - -This plant grows thick from the root, and is covered with a hairy -down. The seeds are contained within a hard thick shell, and the -leaves are like those of the pomegranate flower. The pod is filled -with seeds of a small irregular shape. There is a plant called Hulbeh, -which resembles this, but is smaller. A. Buzurulbunje. - -26 Adjan.--Or Adjain, a large tree, with wide spreading branches, -in size approaching that of the mangoe; its leaves growing close, -and also resembling those of the mangoe tree, but longer and thinner; -the fruit is about 1 1/2 foot long, and very thin. - -27 Akhroat.--"The Walnut, Juglans regia, Linn." This is a native -of hilly countries; its leaves are like the Terpat; the fruit is -sweet to the taste, heating, and heavy; it loosens the bowels, and -restores strength; it is useful in rheumatic affections, increases -mental energy and the powers of manhood, and gives relief in flying -pains in the stomach. A. Jouz. - -28 Andaluck.--A kind of grain. - -29 Aderuck.--"Ginger, Amomum zinziber, Linn. Amomum zinziber, -Wild. Adraca, S. Sonth (dried root,) H. Sunthi, S." A very common root, -the stem of which is knotty, and from every knot, a leaf is produced; -it is hot and heavy; promotes digestion if eaten before meals, mixed -with Lahore salt, (rock salt;) it prevents flatulent swellings in -the stomach and bowels. P. Zinzibeel tur. It is much extolled as a -stomachic when prepared as sweetmeats; but if the syrup be allowed to -dry, it spoils, becomes less grateful to the taste, and its heating -quality is much increased. - -30 Arnee.--The name of a tree, in height that of the Peach tree, but -it is full of branches from the root upwards, and the leaves are like -those of the Sumhaloo; it is heating, and beneficial in rheumatic -complaints and swellings from cold. In the Dhintri it is described -as oleaginous and heavy; effectual in Jaundice, increasing appetite, -loosening the bowels, and removing flatulence. - -31 Arhir or Toor.--"Cytisus cajan." Some consider these as distinct -species, but in my opinion Toor is only Arhir in an overgrown -state. The plant grows to the height of a yard and half; and the -taste of the pea of the Arhir is preferable to that of the Toor. Toor -is sown and cut down at the same time as the sugar-cane; whereas the -Arhir is sown, and cut with the barley. The pod of the Toor is larger -than that of the Arhir; and the former has an unpleasant smell, which -is wanting in the latter; they are both used very commonly as food, -all over India. It is in its properties cool and dry, and produces -costiveness; it is useful in bilious and catarrhal disorders, -and in foulness of the blood. It is even said to be an antidote -to poisons. In its taste it is sweet, like that of the Cassela. I -conceive it hot in the 2d, and dry in the 3d degree, and recommend it -for strengthening the stomach. When used as food it is heavy; but is -beneficial in complaints having their origin in cold. If twice scalded -in hot water, before it is boiled, it will cause less thirst; and if -boiled in milk, or whey, it becomes less heating. A decoction of the -leaves is recommended as a wash for the mouth, in cases of toothache, -and diseases of the teeth. P. Shakool. - -32 Aord, or Aort, or Mash..--vide M. (Phaseolus Max.) - -33 Arne'.--The wild buffaloe. Its flesh recommended in -Marasmus. P. Gowmeche Serhaie. - -34 Arnd.--"The Castor, Ricinus communis, W. Palma Christi." Wildenow -says, "Planta semper annua, nunquam fructicosa vel arborea, nec in -calidissimis terrÊ plagis liguescit." But this is incorrect; for the -plant is perennial, and becomes a moderate sized tree. The natives, -however, have a prejudice against allowing it to grow beyond 3 or -4 years, and even this is only in solitary places. The chief reason -I fancy is, that it interferes with the cultivation of the soil, if -permitted to remain. They usually sow it with grain, and reap the grain -crop before it has attained its full height; this they can do annually, -but seed sown under its shelter the second year, would not succeed. - -A shrub, with broad soft leaves, like the fig tree; it grows about 6 -or 8 feet in height; the root is hollow, and without flaw or wrinkle; -the seed grows in bunches like grapes, and the shell of the pod, -which resembles gall-nuts, is covered with soft prickles. The seed is -like the coffee bean, and is stained with different colored spots, -so as to appear like marbled paper; the kernel is white, soft, and -oleaginous. There are two kinds of this; one with a red, the other -with a green pod; the former is culled Jongia Arnde; both varieties -are sweet, heating, and heavy. The oil of the kernel is useful in -removing obstinate constrictions of the intestines, when given warm; -also in flatulency; rheumatic swellings of the joints and lumbago; -in strangury, spasms in the urinary bladder, headaches, dropsy, and -feverish complaints. It is also recommended as an expectorant in -difficulty of breathing, and in cough; in affections of the skin, -and in superabundance of mucus in the intestines. It is a warm, -stimulating purgative; the dose one or two table spoonsful. Both -my father, uncle, and I, have used it with great success, in cases -of obstinate cholic from costiveness. They also used the leaves -moistened with ghee, as an external application in rheumatic pains -and swellings. If the seeds are bruised, and mixed with curdled milk, -and allowed to remain in this state till they become putrid, they form -an excellent application for the cure of itch, and usually succeed -in 7 or 8 days. It has also been said, that if one of the kernels -be taken at first, and daily increased by one, till 100 are taken, -and then decreased in the same gradual manner, it will cure Juzam, -and other kinds of Leprosy. - -35 Arusa.--A name for the Baan Tree; vide Bansa. In the -Maadentezerrubad, it is thus described:--Arusa is a medicine of -Hindoostan, hot and moist, or in the opinion of some writers, -cool and moist, in the 2d degree: half an ounce of the juice, -with as much honey, is a cure for hoarseness, or loss of voice; -and used with the fruit of the Peepul tree, it increases appetite, -and corrects mucous discharges. A decoction of the leaves in water, -is useful in Jaundice, difficulty of breathing, Gonorrhoea, and hectic -fever. As a gargle it strengthens the gums; and the leaves bruised, -and taken in honey or water, cure Epistaxis, Hoematemesis, Nausea, -Vertigo, and Suppression of the menses. - -36 Arjun.--A tree, also the fruit; hot and astringent; useful in -bilious affections, and in prostration of strength from fatigue, and an -antidote to poisons. Its use is interdicted in disorders arising from -cold; also in ulcers: but externally applied it cleanseth foul sores, -and promotes healthy granulation. It prolongs Aphrodisia, strengthens -the system, and expedites the union of divided parts. Some physicians -call it cooling. Pentaptera Arjuna. - -37 Arloo, Catoombura, or Sheunag,.--The name of a tree, a native -of the hills; it is pungent, beneficial in loosening phlegm, and -promoting appetite; it produces costiveness, and is vermifuge, and -recommended in Juzam. It is an ingredient in the Dusmool. - -38 Arvie, or Arum Colocasia,.--A root and seed. It is about 3 inches -long, more or less, and when the outer rind is removed it is white. Its -stem is about 3 feet in height; its leaves large like a shield, -with the points reflected; in consistence and polish it is like -the plaintain leaf. It is also called Cutchaloo, but the different -names are only applied with propriety to different parts of the same -root; the Cutchaloo being more like a Byngun or Egg-plant. They are -both in general use in India. The Arvie is dressed with meat, and -the Cutchaloo is roasted; the leaves and shoots are also commonly -eaten. Its properties, I can declare from experience, are in a small -degree cool; and it is useful in giving strength to the system; -prevents the involuntary emission of semen; it produces wind, and is -heavy and hurtful to the throat Its corrector is acids, and being -repeatedly washed in water. The Cutchaloo is the most powerful, -and the most hurtful of the two kinds. A. Culdass, at least it is -so stated; but in the Yunani works, there is a material difference; -as the Culdass is described, therefore, it is doubtful to me whether -they are one and the same. - -39 Armeede,.--A kind of cucumber. - -40 Aorde Gunta.--A kind of Satawur. - -41 Aistullkund.--The name of a root; also called Gir‡mkund; also a -variety of the medicine Maankund: it promotes phlegm, and corrects -bile and wind; it is also useful in foulness of the blood and general -swellings.

When thin and dry, it resembles the Sh˙k·kul -mysrie, (carrot;) its leaves are very like those of the kuth, (Mimosa -catechu,) but rather less. It grows about a yard along the ground; its -taste is astringent and bitter; it is hot, and strengthens the powers -of virility; removes bilious and mucous affections; is beneficial in -general swellings, and white leprosy. - -Some give this name to the Kaknej, or Winter Cherry. In the -Maadentezerrubad, it is thus described. Asgund is a medicine of -Hindoostan; the best sort of which is procurable at Nagour. It is hot -and dry in the 1st degree. The people of India use in its stead, the -Soorinjan, (the Hermodactylus.) It is especially beneficial in pains of -the joints. The root, when arrived at perfection, has a strong scent of -the horse; from which circumstance it has in India, derived its name; -Asp, signifying the horse, and Gund, smell: it is also called Bajecund. - -If 3 drachms of the root be boiled in 2 pounds of cow's milk, and 1 -ounce of sugar mixed with it, and this taken for 14 days, it increases -peculiar secretions, and improves the complexion. - -44 Asphill.--Padmunie, a variety of Kunwul.

It is sweet, bitterish, -and cool; is useful in vomiting, Diarrhoea, and foulness of the blood. - -45 Astull.--Bunt‡ki, a name for Buratha; it means a large Byngun, -or Egg-fruit; the plant being the same. - -46 Aspurka.--Cool and light; promotes peculiar secretions, and -is useful in various disorders: it removes offensive exhalations; -moderates profuse sweats; is beneficial in dropsy; restores strength; -cures emaciation; and is an antidote to poisons. - -47 Aoshire.--Kuss kuss.

It is cool, and assists digestion, cures -laxity of the bowels, and is useful in bilious affections, foulness -of blood, and superabundance of mucus; allays thirst, is a grateful -application to blistered parts, or where much heat is experienced; -beneficial in difficulty of voiding urine, in boils and eruptions, -and prolongs aphrodisia. - -48 Asteghoon.--An article of food, made by mixing one part of Moong, -with two parts of rice, boiling them together, and pouring off the -water, with which is to be mixed rock salt, assafoetida, coriander, -ginger, and peepul. This is an excellent drink in fevers, in bilious -affections, and foulness of the blood; it increases appetite, and -clears, and gives tone to the kidnies and bladder. - -49 Apheem.--(Papaver somniferum.) Of this there are four kinds; -the 1st, which is white, is called Chaarun, (promoting digestion;) -the 2d, Maarun, is black; the 3d yellow, and the 4th, of all these -colours mixed, called Saarun. Its properties are well known, and -fully detailed in all Yunani works on medicine. - -50 Aginmunt.--Agwunt. Names of Arnee; q. vide. - -51 Agust.--(∆schynomene Grandiflora.)

Kakla. "Amomum Cardamomum, Wild. Amomum Repens, -Wood, vol. II. p. 356." It is of two kinds, and very common. The -tree is very large, its leaves resemble those of the sugar cane, of -the length of a man; it is very fragrant, and both kinds are nearly -alike in properties. The physicians of India call it moderately cool, -aromatic, and bitter; and that it is useful in bilious affections, -rheumatic complaints, and superabundance of mucus; it is likewise -said to decrease Aphrodisia, and to be prejudicial in affections of -the chest The large kind possesses all these properties in a greater -degree than the small; "the latter is called the Guzerattee Alaechee." - -60 Alta.--A name for the Lac colour. - -61 Amulbedh.--Called also Amulbenth, a very acid fruit of India; -the tree much resembles the lime tree, but is rather larger. It is so -very acid, that it will, in a few minutes, dissolve a needle, or small -shell. It is light and aperient; improves decayed appetite; is cardiac; -removes visceral obstructions, and increases all the secretions. I -have been accustomed to take out part of the pulp of the fruit, -and to fill the empty space with such medicines as assist digestion, -and correct disorders of the digestive organs, in a pounded state, -and allowing the fruit, thus medicated, to dry, and using it under -the title of Amulbedh. It is brought in quantities from Jeynugger, -and Ruttunboil. A spurious sort of this is made from the large lemon, -and sold in its stead. I have found it useful in promoting digestion, -giving relief in rheumatism, and as an aperient (Amul means acid.) - -62 Amulchangerie.--An acid fruit, from a plant of India, called -Changerie, much resembling the In-ubassaleb, (Nightshade,) and grows -about 8 inches high, or more, and is about as much expanded.

The fruit resembles a -bean-pod, bent in the centre, and usually less than 8 inches in length; -it bends so as to assume the figure of a semi-circle, but often not so -much. The Author of the Book Tophut-ul-Momeneen, describes the tree as -resembling the Pomegranate tree; but I suspect he had never seen it. It -is acid and heavy, removes flatulence, but increases bile and blood. - -When ripe, it is laxative, promotes appetite, and is beneficial -in oppression after meals. It is dry, light, cardiac, and restores -prostration of strength from fatigue. It removes nausea, giddiness, -thirst, and general heat. Sherbet prepared from it, should it agree -with the stomach, is preferable to any other, and prevents the noxious -influence of the hot winds on the system. The kind which is red, ought -to be chosen for preserves, and it possesses all the properties of -the fresh fruit. The flowers of the tamarind eat with meat, increase -its flavor; they also prevent accumulation of bile, are aperient, -and increase appetite; but they are improper when acidity prevails -in the stomach. - -64 Amrutphull.--A name given to the sweet lime. Vide Rajeneemb. - -65 Ambarae.--A fruit, the produce of the hills, large and acid. - -66 Amarbele.--A name for Afteemoon (Dodder Thyme.) - -67 Amroude.--(Guava.) An Indian fruit resembling the pear.

It is about the size of the large -lime, called Turunje; its color yellow, tinged with red; its surface -is irregular, and covered with small prickles; its smell like that of -the mangoe, and very pleasant; the whole plant, including the fruit, -is about a yard in height; the leaves have serrated edges, and the -fruit grows perpendicular. On the top of the stem there is a bunch -of leaves growing from the top of the fruit, which if broken off, -and planted, is reproductive. It bears fruit only once, and only one -fruit at a time. I have not seen its properties noticed in any work, -but the people of India call it cooling. It was first described by -Abul Fuzul, in the Ayen Akberry; and this was afterwards copied by the -Author of the Dhara Shekoih, from which others have copied it. Part -of this description I have copied, and from my own observation have -added the remainder. In my opinion it is hot in a small degree, and -moist in the 2d degree. Its use is grateful to the system, and it gives -strength to the intellectual powers, also tone to the stomach. It is -injurious to the throat, to the solids, to respiration, and to the -intestines; but its corrector is sugar, and if it be sliced, put in -rose water to which sugar is added, and allowed to stand for some time, -its beneficial properties are increased, while its injurious qualities -are prevented or corrected. A preserve made from it, is excellent, and -is used with stews and Pilau, as giving them great additional relish. - -72 Ambeloona.--A fruit of Hindoostan, acid and astringent, cool and -producing costiveness, beneficial in mucus and bile; also in carbuncle, -and other tumors and affections of the throat. - -73 Ambegool or Angool, or Ambegooda; called also Inderain Soorkh.

The fruit of the plant is sweet and cool, -heavy and purgative, useful in affections from wind, bile, and -disorders of the blood; it removes general heat, and is beneficial in -Marasmus. It decreases the seminal secretion, increases mucus, and -strengthens the system. Nourdi Mahommed says, that in the epidemic -carbuncle which affects the armpit or throat, this fruit is given -with more success than any other medicine; and that one fruit given -internally, and another applied to the part, will cure the disease, -should there be any stamina remaining in the system. He also says, -that if ten pounds of this fruit be steeped for a week in Anula -water, taken out and dried, put into a mill, and the oil expressed, -and this oil introduced into the nose for 8 days successively, white -hair will become black. He writes much more respecting its virtues; -but as I have had no experience of them, and cannot vouch for the -effect, I forbear to transcribe them. - -74 Inderain.--"Cucumis Colocynthus. Wild Gourd. Bitter cucumber. It is -said by Thunberg to be rendered so perfectly mild, by being pickled, -as to be used as food at the Cape of Good Hope." The fruit of a plant -like the small melon, and very bitter; the plant too resembles that -of the melon, and in Persian it is called the bitter melon. There -are two kinds of this, one I have already described under the head -of the preceding article.

The fruit contains a number of seeds, rather longer -than those of the melon, and resembling a bird's tongue. The pulp -of the fruit is of a yellowish white, but the seeds are red. Its -properties are bitter, pungent, cool, and astringent. It cures -flatulence, bile, and fever, is vermifuge, and is useful in piles, -and beneficial in that kind of carbuncle the matter of which is -infectious: there are two kinds of this, a bitter and a sweet sort: -of these, the bitter is to be preferred. In Hemorrhoids, where much -blood is discharged, if taken in the quantity of half a tolah daily, -in cold water, for eight days, the cure will be accomplished.

When the seminal secretion is too -thin, this is given with success; the older kind is preferred in -medicine. In the Tophutul Momeneen and other works, its virtues -are described. - -91 Padill.--Sometimes called Patill, and another kind denominated -Kashta Padill or Kut Padill. Of this also there is another kind, -but as the properties of all are the same, I have not particularly -distinguished them from each other. It is the flower of an Indian tree, -which in size is equal to the Mangoe or Jamin, its pod is 1 1/2 feet -long, and 4 fingers in breadth, formed of different layers, and lined -with a soft cottony substance.

The other kind called Pia Bansa has colored flowers. - -It increases wind, and clears the throat; it removes disorders of -bile, mucus, or blood, cough, difficulty of breathing, nausea, fever, -seminal weakness, juzam, and marasmus. A tooth-brush made of its wood, -materially strengthens the gums and teeth, and of this many have had -experience. It strengthens the system, darkens the color of the hair, -cures the itch, and is an antidote to poison. In its nature it is hot, -and is useful in eruptions of the skin and leprosy. - -In the Maadentezerrubad, that with the yellow flowers, is called -Pia Bansa, and the tree is said to be about a yard high, with long -leaves, hot, cool, and dry in an equal degree; a decoction of the -root is beneficial as a gargle in toothache, or with the addition of -the leaves, as a gargle in ptyalism. - -95 Baluka.--Cucumis Madraspatanus.

It is -pungent and aromatic, hot and dry in the 3d deg. light and cardiac, -creates appetite, and cures affections of bile and mucus; but is -prejudicial to the eyesight, and lessens the seminal secretion. - -In the Maadentezerrubad it is written, that Babchee is a seed about -the size of gram, or rather less, of a dark color, and aromatic flavor, -hot and dry in a small degree, cures wind, mucus, and Juzam; the itch -and other eruptions of the skin when discoloration or ulceration -takes place, and all complaints arising from foulness of blood. In -Acouta, or that scaly leprous eruption that is often met with, it -is very effectual, the part being first moistened with mustard oil, -and the powder of the seed sprinkled over its surface. - -"Tried in Lepra without effect, both in substance and in infusion, -in 1818.--Translator." - -103 Paperie.--A name for Shumshad, cool, and brightens the complexion, -and is useful in mucous and bilious complaints. - -104 Babur.--Called by some Nagbo, and also Badrouje. - -105 Barasinga.--Cervus Elaphus. Called so from its many branched horns; -it is about the size of a small cow, and is also called Thunkur -or Eal. Its meat is sweet to the taste, and heavy; it increases -Aphrodisia, cures wind, bile, and mucus. The horns rubbed down in -water, and applied externally, cure rheumatic and other pains. - -106 Parba.--Cervus Porcinus. Very common in the upper parts of India; -its properties I have never seen noticed in any Indian publication. I -have met with a description of another kind of deer, Cheetul, and in -my opinion they are nearly alike in their properties; the flesh of -both easy of digestion, quickly increasing the volume of blood and -bulk of the solids; it is without fibres, hot and somewhat dry. - -107 Bander.--Monkey. The flesh is beneficial in flatulencies, -difficulty of breathing, and Jaundice, and is vermifuge; in P. Bozeena. - -108 Baag.--In P. Sher. The Tiger. Its flesh is hot, and cures -affections from wind, and complaints of the eyes. Its milk, mixed -with Soorma, is an excellent application in that disease of the eye -called Mootiabin. My grandfather experienced its good effects in his -own case in the cure of this disease. - -109 Palug.--A much esteemed kind of culinary vegetable -(Spinnach.) A. Isphanach: cool and heavy, laxative, producing wind -and mucus, as also swelling of the abdomen. It is beneficial in -difficulty of breathing, and eruptions from bile. Some say that it -produces intoxication in a small degree, but this I have not found -to be the case. - -110 Paan.--Aromatic, bitter, astringent, hot, and aperient. ("Piper -Betel, Lin. Warm juice, febrifuge; given in indigestion in children, -and combined with musk in Hysteria.") It creates appetite and agreeable -sensations; it also increases semen, and is aphrodisiac. It cures -disorders of wind, mucus, and of the blood; corrects vitiated breath, -preserves the gums, clears the blood, is useful in prostration of -strength from fatigue, and cures nervous head-aches. Its juice -is beneficial in giving tone to the stomach and heart, and it -promotes digestion. It corrects a cold temperament, cures cholicky -disorders, and pains of the bowels, and this I have repeatedly found -by experience. In my own opinion, and in the opinion of every Yunani -writer whom I have consulted, (with the exception of Shaik Boo Alli,) -it is hot; but the physicians of Hindoostan very generally agree -with the Shaik. Those of a hot temperament, who use much of this -plant, are subject to eruptions of the mouth, and fissures in the -tongue. Its correctors are almonds and the kernel of the cocoa-nut, -but the former is to be preferred, and the addition of the almond -increases its effects on the mental powers. - -The distilled water of Paan, as described below, is recommended -for correcting a melancholic temperament, strengthening the stomach -and circulation, removing spasms in the stomach, creating appetite, -correcting flatulence, and loosening phlegm. - -Take flowers of Bugloss 5 scruples, rose leaves 6 drachms, cloves -13 scruples, Paan 4 ounces, distilled water of Bugloss two pounds, -rose water 6 pounds: distil, and give as a dose from one to four -drachms. Another: take of cinnamon 13 scruples, Indian Spikenard and -Galangal, each 14 1/2 scruples; Bugloss, Soad Kufah, and dried mint, -each 19 scruples; rose leaves and cloves each 24 scruples; anise seed -(Nancha), and another kind called Rajiana, and sweet-scented flag -of Toorkistan, each 19 scruples; Paan 50 leaves or more, good rose -water 15 pounds: distil. The dose to be regulated by the temperament -of the patient. - -Another: take of Indian leaf (Tezpat), 1/2 a pound; cloves, Indian -Spikenard, and anise seed (Nancha), each 4 ounces, good Paan 200 -leaves; bruise all the ingredients, and let them remain in infusion -for 24 hours in 20 pounds of water, then draw off by distillation 14 -pounds: the dose will be from 8 to 10 scruples given after meals. - -Another: take of cloves, Oodghoorkee, each 13 scruples; reduce both to -a coarse powder; flowers of Bugloss, raspings of white Sandal wood, -each 5 1/2 scruples; Bugloss, rose leaves and Indian leaf, each 4 -ounces; white Paan 100 leaves, rose water 8 pounds, distilled anise -seed water 4 pounds; infuse 24 hours in the heated liquids, and draw -off by distillation 8 pounds. - -111 Pariss Peepul.--Called also Palass Peepul, (Hibiscus populneoides, -Roxb.) - -112 Para, or Parud, (as it is called in Sanscrit,) Mercury. It -is hot, gives strength to the eyesight, is useful in Juzam, and is -vermifuge. A. Zeebuck. P. Seemab. It is very generally used throughout -India, in many ways, both in its native and prepared state; but in -the latter we ought to be very cautious, for it is seldom sufficiently -killed, or removed from its native state, in which it is a dangerous -drug. One grain or two grains, or even a little more, is taken for -a dose, and in some cases with success. Cups are also made of it, -from which milk is drank; they possess this virtue, that a greater -quantity of milk may be taken in this way than in any other. It is -said, that if a little Mercury be tied up in a cloth, and boiled in -milk, that the milk will have an aphrodisiac property. Should any one -have taken live Mercury, and the result be, that he is attacked with -Juzam, or other leprous affection, let him take the whole of an Indigo -plant, and cutting it in small pieces, let it be boiled in a large -quantity of water; then straining it, drink a cupful of the water -very frequently, till all is taken, and till then eat no food. All -the Mercury will in the course of the day be evacuated per urethra, -and if the whole does not make its escape the first day, the treatment -must be repeated. If the urine be received into a brass vessel, or -any other with a polished surface, the Mercury will be detected; many -people having been in this predicament, have followed this advice, -and found the result to be as I have stated it. - -In a state of calcination, if it is mixed with strong vinegar, or lime -juice, and afterwards dried, if no live Mercury appears it is good; -otherwise it is dangerous. Others have said, that if mixed and rubbed -with the juice of the radish leaf, till they are incorporated, and -then a little lime juice poured over it, and again rubbed and dried, -it will be fit for use; and the less live Mercury that is perceptible, -the less dangerous it is. - -To make cups and balls of Mercury, triturate the Mercury well with -pounded bricks, in an iron pot, moistening the mixture with water; -wash the whole in water, and strain through a moderately fine cloth, -till the Mercury becomes perfectly clear like a looking glass. Take -equal parts of this purified quicksilver, rock salt, and sulphate of -copper, and put them into an iron pot, with strong vinegar or lime -juice, and let the whole be well triturated for 7 or 8 hours, when the -compound will appear like butter; wash this well in water, that the -salt and sulphate be carried off, and the Mercury left behind; take -this Mercury and coat over the outside of an unburnt earthen vessel -or cup, till it shall be well covered and appear like Mercury; place -this in a dish filled with lime juice, and let it remain for a week, -then take it out and place it in the sun to dry and harden; when quite -hard, it may be used in this way, or it may be filled with water and -kept so, till the clay becomes soft enough to be separated from the -quicksilver. Milk drank from this cup will have an aphrodisiac quality, -and will increase appetite. For the formation of this cup, 9 or 10 -tolahs of quicksilver will be requisite, and for the balls one tolah. - -The Balls.--When the ingredients above-mentioned have, from long -trituration, acquired the consistence of butter, balls may be formed of -the composition in a fine cloth, and allowed to remain for 7 days in -lime juice; then take them out and throw them into a boiling decoction -of the Dhatura leaves, allowing it to be well boiled. The balls are -then to be taken out of the cloth and preserved for use. - -In the Maadentezerrubad it is said, that if a small parcel of Mercury -be boiled in soup, made from the Bis-Copra, it will become hard. - -113 Baboona, or Marehtee: Anthemis Chamomile; a common flower, Akhgwan. - -114 Bans.--A. Russub. P. Ney. Its leaves like those of the Joowar, -when they are young; it is cool and a little astringent, beneficial in -dysuria, gonorrhÊa, piles, in stomach complaints, bilious disorders, -and those of the blood, in cholicky pains from flatulence. Some say, -that it increases the secretion of bile. A preserve is made from -the young shoots which is much esteemed, and is useful in promoting -appetite and giving tone to the stomach, correcting an increased -secretion of bile or phlegm. The young shoots are first cut into small -pieces, and steeped in salt and water; then dried, and afterwards put -into the vinegar or other acid, in which it is to be preserved. The -root of the bamboo in equal parts, with Judw·r (Zedoary), and Suronjan -(Hermodactylis), applied externally, I have found very effectual -in removing pains from the joints. The oil expressed from the fresh -joints of the plants, is also very beneficial in pains of the joints -and other rheumatic affections. Mention is made of this oil in the -Hajul Umeer and Ejale na·f, works written by me. - -The joints of the bamboo are very useful as a diuretic, and they also -are effectual in producing abortion, and made into a decoction with -Cassia fistula, are recommended for recorrecting and stopping the -discharge after such an occurrence. - -115 Badgan Khutay.--No account having been given of this in any of -the Yunani works, it is left for me to give a description of it. It -is a seed of a dark red color, the capsule resembles the stone of -the tamarind, but is more thin and pointed, and a little open; it is -used as an infusion with tea; it is hot, strengthens the stomach; is -discutient, removes flatulence, and the tea corrects any bad effects -that it may possess. - -116 Baremoo.--A name for Dookoo. - -117 Barehie.--A name for Zedoary. - -118 Patirr.--The Wagtail, called in Yunani, Suffraghoon. - -119 Parjath, or Parbhudder, (Bombax heptaphyllum.)

A. Birnuk Caboolie. - -122 Badjera.--Holcus Spicatum. A common grain; in my opinion hot and -dry; it strengthens the system and loins; is aphrodisiac, and corrects -acidity in the stomach, but produces flatulence. - -123 Papeyha.--Papeya, Carica Papeya, W. A native of South America, now -common all over India; milky juice of the unripe fruit, vermifuge; -dose,--two table spoonfuls in warm milk, afterwards a dose of -castor-oil. - -124 Papieha.--A common green bird; the poets of Hindoostan keep -numbers of them, and have an idea that the noise they make at night, -in the rainy season, produces inspiration. Its flesh is useful in -affection from wind and mucus, and is alone sufficient to remove -disorders from bile. - -125 Papeitha.--"Papita nux, Nux Vomica Serapionis, Faba Indica, or -Faba Sancti Ignatii, St. Ignatius's Bean, Catalougay, belongs to a -genus called Ignatia Amara. The above description applies especially -to the Papeitha, but not to the Nux Vomica, (Cuchila,) which is a -Strychnos, this is not." - -This is a medicine of foreigners, and it is said, that it has been in -use for the last century; there is no account of it in any books of -Hindoostan, or in the Yunani works; but in this part of the country -it is in general use. I have partly taken the present description -from the books of foreigners, and partly it is the result of my own -experience. In foreign language, it is called Papita. It is a nut, -round, more or less so, each weighing about a pice; it is depressed -in the centre, and of a brown color, some darker than others. Its -properties are said to be various. If one of the nuts be strung on a -thread and retained about the person, it is a security against sorcery, -and the attempted mischief will recoil on the sorcerer. Should any -one be poisoned and this be administered, the poison will thereby be -rendered innocent. - -Whoever shall keep this constantly about his person, nor noxious wind -nor evil eye will affect him. - -If one retti or two retti weight of this be rubbed down in water and -taken, it will cure pains in the stomach and cholicks. - -It is very beneficial in the disorder called Elaous, also in paralytic -affections. - -In faintings and convulsions, if the teeth are forced open, and a -little given internally, also the part of the forehead called peshanie -scarified, and rubbed with a little of the medicine, the senses will -be restored. - -In bites of snakes or the sting of any noxious reptile or insect, -it is highly beneficial. - -The powder of the seed is styptic, and when applied over a wound in -sufficient quantity to form a cake and bound up, it will stop any -discharge of blood. - -In intermittent fever, if about 4 barley-corns in bulk be given -before the cold fit, it will render it much less severe, or remove -it altogether. - -In labor, if the pains are not sufficiently effectual, 4 barley-corns -of this given, will expedite delivery; but if by mistake it be given -after delivery, it will cause a protrusion of the bowels. - -In all laxities of the bowels it is useful. If a seed be allowed to -remain in the mouth, it will promote the discharge of mucus which -may oppress the chest, and will relieve acidity in the stomach. - -If the nut be cut into slices and fried in sweet oil, the oil will -form an excellent application to chancres, venereal or other cuticular -eruptions. - -Should any one have swallowed poison and become senseless, this oil -forced into the throat, if swallowed, will save the patient. - -This oil will also have the effect of restoring sensation to parts -deprived of it, if rubbed externally. - -In suppression of the menses, 7 or 8 barley-corns in bulk administered, -will give relief. - -Should a tendon be cut through from a wound, filling the division -with the powder, will promote adhesion. - -A tincture of it in spirits, in the strength of 25 nuts to half a -pound of spirit, allowed to remain 15 days in the sun, is aphrodisiac, -in the quantity of 16 liquid grains every night. - -I have found this medicine given to the quantity of half a drachm, -more or less, mixed up into a bolus with rose-water, very beneficial -in excessive vomiting. - -Once my father and I were proceeding on a journey, it happened, -that some of our people had ate in the morning, of the food prepared -the night before, which being stale, produced incessant and violent -vomiting; their sufferings were great, and the color of their bodies -completely changed. My father having no other medicine with him, except -this, gave it to them mixed with rose-water, in various proportions, -with great success. - -In unremitting vomiting, it ought to be given twice, when it will -assuredly be successful. - -126 Babool, vide Keekur. Acacia Arabica, W. - -127 Papotun.--A plant, about a yard high; its seed is like that of the -nightshade, at first green, and when ripe, red; in appearance like -the Goonchee, covered with a very thin capsule. The leaves heated -and applied to swellings are discutient, and the root pounded and -mixed with water, applied to the carbuncle or introduced on a seton, -will effect a cure in a few days. - -128 Paethaon.--Called also Culsi or Breshtpirnie. A medicine of India; -sweet, hot, light, and aphrodisiac; remedies laxities of the bowels -and abrasions of the intestines. It decreases general heat, allays -thirst, and is useful in affections of wind, mucus, bile, nausea, -and fever. In the Dhinteri, it is said to be pungent, and beneficial -in asthma, phlegm, and dropsy. - -129 Patole, vide Pulwul. - -130 Patera, usually called PatËla, a name of Birdee, a reed, growing -in marshy places, used for making mats. It grows about a man's height, -sometimes higher, and about the thickness of one's finger. Its ashes -are peculiarly drying, and in quality dry and moist; if sprinkled -over a sore, they quickly dry it up; if mixed with vinegar, dried, -pounded, and applied to a carbuncle, it will cure it. They are also -useful in Ukula and Nufsoodum. - -131 Patung.--A large tree, a native of the hills; its leaves are -like that of the almond, and its flowers yellow. The fruit round, -and of a dirty green color when young, becoming red as it ripens, -and sweet to the taste. - -Physicians of Yunan have described it as hot, useful in -bilious affections, mucus, and blood; also in boils and -eruptions. A. Bukkum. The wood is used by dyers. In the Topha it is -written, that in the quantity of 15 masha it is a deadly poison. Its -powder is excellent as an application to wounds and ulcers. A bath -formed of a decoction of the wood, clears the surface of the body, -and gives strength to the bones. - -132 Putrudj.--A very common leaf, in length from three to five inches, -and in breadth two inches; of a green color, and pleasant smell; it -is strongly marked by veins, and is brought from the hills.

A plant about a yard -high, or even less; its leaves are small like the mint, soft and -serrated; when the plant is old, it becomes a little larger, but the -leaves remain the same. It is used in India as a culinary vegetable, -and ate with or without meat; the leaves are sweetish when young; -it delights to grow near water, and is found both in the wild and -cultivated state, but the wild is considered the best; it is light -and laxative, strengthens the system, is useful in affections of the -spleen, eruptions from diffusion of bile, piles, worms, ascarides in -the rectum, and corrects all natural secretions except blood. A. Kutf. - -136 Butela.--A kind of Pea: see Muttur. - -137 Butaer.--The Quail, Perdix Olivacea, (Buch.) Its flesh is cool, -and promotes appetite; is beneficial in fever, and corrects the three -principal secretions. Some have said, that this is a name for Tihoo; -it resembles the partridge, but is only about half the size. In my -opinion, it is cool and hot in equal degrees; it forms a desirable -food for the sick, or emaciated; it strengthens the stomach, and -produces costiveness. - -138 Batees.--A name for Atees, already described. - -139 Pytha.--The gall-bladder of any animal. Bile is hot and dry, but -no general account can be given of its properties, as almost that of -every animal differs from another. If goat's bile be used, it will -relieve an affection of the liver, and if it be mixed with camphor -and butter, and introduced into the ear, it will cure tooth-ache, -or rubbed into the abdomen of a child below the navel, it will prove -laxative. Cow's bile, if introduced into the ear, will cure pain -arising from wind, mucus or bile. - -140 Putalphoorie.--The name of a grass, which grows in rocky places, -from which it has either derived its name or from its property of -dissolving the stone in the urinary or gall-bladder. It is a very -small plant; its leaves, like those of the Lobeia (a small bean), -when chewed are found to be very mucilaginous. It is a powerful -medicine in dysuria, and is beneficial in dissolving stones in -the urinary or gall-bladder. Of this I have several times had proof -within my own observation; and I have given it to the extent of 5 or 6 -mashas in these disorders, combined with sugar, or with other diuretic -medicines, or sherbets, or even in plain water; a substitute for this -may sometimes be found in Gokroo, in cucumber seeds, or some such -cooling medicine. A distilled water from it is in use. In one case -where I used the Putalphoorie, I found, that while fresh and green, -it was not so beneficial, and induced costiveness; but when dried -and given, it was much more effectual and less prejudicial. - -141 Puturjenie.--A name for Lichmuna and Lichmunie. - -142 Butchudder.--A species of the Catechu tree; hot and astringent, -beneficial in Aphtha, tooth-ache, blood, itch, poisons, and phlegm. - -143 Budjaesaar.--The name of a tree; the best sort is called -Bidjaesaar; it is beneficial in Juzam, ptyalism, white leprosy, -seminal weakness, ascarides in the rectum, disorders of bile and -blood, cleansing the fluids, strengthening the roots of the hair, -and it is well known as an ingredient in many formulÊ. - -144 Bitchoo, (Scorpion.).--A.

Sweet-scented flag, Acorus -Odorant, F. Kalamus Nurtzil, G. Calamo Aromatica, J. Acoro Calamo, -S. Wedj. A. Agrtoorki. P. One kind of this is white; both kinds are -bitter, pungent, hot and stomachic: loosens mucus from the throat, -cures itch, mucous disorders, epilepsy, idiotism, the influence of evil -spirits. In the Maadentezerrabad it is written, that the Indians have -a belief, that if the butch be taken, cut in small pieces, and put -into an earthen pot, with ghee sufficient to cover it about an inch, -that is one part of the butch and two of ghee, and this pot placed -in Jow for 40 days, and 15 mashas of this taken daily, it will cure -paralysis and loss of memory, and all complaints arising from cold. - -147 Budgerkund.--Called also Soorun, q. vide. - -148 Beechnak.--The name of a poison; vide Singia. - -149 Bedareekund.--A kind of Baraikund.

The -Dara Shekoi has not noticed this medicine, and for my information I am -indebted to works of Hindoostan. As far as I can judge, it increases -the tone of the stomach, raises the spirits; but taken in quantities, -it is difficult of digestion and produces flatulence. It is acid, -and therefore remedies bile, but it increases cough. The kernel -is astringent. - -152 Bedhara.--A medicine of India, brought from the hills; it -is a light wood about the thickness of liquorice root; bitter and -astringent, hot and aperient. It is aphrodisiac; useful in disorders -of wind, phlegm, and blood; also in swellings of the body, seminal -weakness, and forms an ingredient in many approved formulÊ. - -153 Pudmeinie.--(The Winter Lilly.)

In the Maadentezerrabad it is called Reesha in Persian. If -the milk is applied to swellings or boils, it will effect a cure -by resolution; or if applied to the eye, will remove specks on the -cornea. If a tooth be at all loose, the milk applied to it will cause -it to fall out without pain, but care must be taken that it be not -applied to the sound tooth. If the bark of the tree be put into the -pan in which fish is fried, it will soften the bones. The young shoots -of the hanging roots and the bark, are cool, dry, and astringent; the -milk is hot and powerful; the fruit less so. If the above-mentioned -young shoots be bruised and put into a cloth, and heated over the -fire, it forms an excellent and affectual application to lumbago or -other rheumatic affections. The fruit, ate with milk and sugar, is -mentioned as aphrodisiac, and increasing certain secretions. The young -shoots of the pendent roots and leaves, and the bark are astringent, -and useful in diarrhoea. The leaf-buds are also recommended for the -same complaint, dressed with meat or otherwise. - -158 Birnaan or Burna.--A tree of Adjmere; the wood of which is used -for making beads, which from their beauty are sent to different places -as presents.

All these roots are -sweet, cool, dry, and flatulent; also aperient. They give tone to the -urinary bladder, remove eruptions (the consequence of suffused bile), -increase semen, phlegm, and wind; they strengthen the solids, are slow -of digestion, and increase the secretion of milk. Pindaloo is somewhat -bitter and hot, heavy, mucilaginous, and diuretic. Mudwall increases -bile, and is bitter; but it is beneficial in mucous disorders. - -163 Barumbie or Soonputtie.--Sweet, cool, aperient, light; increases -the powers of perception and memory, clears the voice, cures Juzam, -jaundice, seminal weakness, foulness of the blood, and cough; -is an antidote to poisons, beneficial in swelling of the body, -in bilious affections, and is a common ingredient in all useful -formulÊ.

Kuthai; some say, that both kinds of Kuthai are called Berehti; -but it is not so, the small kind only goes by that name. Karenta -and Kutla are both names of the large Kuthai, and Kuthlee; and -Kuntkaree and Kuntkalka, are names for the small Kuthai. It is hot -and astringent, strengthens the animal spirits; is stomachic, and a -pleasant addition to the flavor of food.

Dustumboeah. Its -properties approach those of the melon when unripe.

I have seen the tree, it is like -the Bukaen; its leaves very soft and tender, broad and long, somewhat -like the Moong: on each small sprig it has three leaves. Some have -said that it was originally wild, but subsequently brought into our -gardens; that which is now in gardens is larger than that which grows -uncultivated. The fruit is hollowed out and used as snuff-boxes, and -for several other purposes. It is a very common tree in India; it is -bitter, astringent, and a little sweetish, hot, and moist; when ripe it -is heavy, producing phlegm, bile, and wind, causing heat of stomach, -and is difficult of digestion. It destroys appetite and induces -costiveness; but unripe it is light, strengthens the circulation, -and the whole body; induces costiveness; increases appetite, hastens -digestion, and cures disorders of wind and phlegm.

The Maadentezerrubad thus describes it: taar is a tree like -the date tree; its leaves about a yard long; the kernel of the fruit -is often sold for the sea cocoanut. The juice of this tree is the -taarie, so well known; it is equally hot and cold, and moist in the -2nd degree. It is aphrodisiac and diuretic, induces corpulency, and if -taken to excess produces intoxication and head-ache. If fresh drawn, -it is sweet and less intoxicating; but allowed to remain for a night, -it becomes acid, and then it is very inebriating. The fresh taarie -improves the complexion, moistens the brain; is beneficial in hectic -fever, in difficulty of breathing, in depression of the spirits, -and is aperient. If allowed to remain long, it becomes sour, smells -very strong; is heating, and causes vomiting and indigestion. - -In the Lyzuttoor rejal, it is thus mentioned: taarrie is an -intoxicating produce of the taar tree, very common to the eastward. The -tree resembles the date tree, but its leaves are different: when fresh, -the taarie is hot and moist, induces corpulency; is aphrodisiac, -diuretic, and when it has acquired a strong smell, is intoxicating, -and in that state, it is very heating, and produces indigestion, -with heaviness of the brain. The sherbet of the pomegranate allays -vomiting brought on by its use. Its succedaneum is a decoction of -dates called Sendhi. - -284 Taalesputter.--A name of Talesphir; of this there are many -and various accounts, some call it the leaf of the wild olive, -zeatoon, and others call it the bark of the Lissaan nulaej safeer, -or Biss'bassa.

The people of India deem it hot, light, -aphrodisiac, stomachic, promoting digestion, curing difficulty of -breathing, cough, disorders of phlegm, badgola, and hectic fever. - -285 Tanbirr.--"Copper."

Miss. The physicians of India use it in a calcined form, -and speak much in its favour. If it be properly prepared, it will -be soluble in water. In my opinion, if it does not produce heat -in the blood, nausea, pains in the bones, and joints, giddiness, -and confusion of ideas, it will be fortunate, and will be a sign, -that it has been well prepared; and should it stand both these tests, -it may be used with comparative safety. - -286 Taberuck.--A tree, the produce of Arabia; its fruit and flower -resembling the rose; during digestion it is bitter and hot; removes -bile, and blisters, and seminal debility. - -287 Tubasheer, or Tubakeer, names of Bunslochun. - -288 Tuputtee or Typsie, a trefoil grass. - -289 Tatyrie, in P. called Teetoo; a bird, the meat of which produces -wind.

It is said in the Dara Shekoi, -that it was first sown in India during the reign of Akber, or in -the year of the Hidjera 1014, when it was imported from Europe, and -sown by his order; now it is every where common, and is generally -smoked. In the opinion of Hukeem Alli Gheelanee, it is hot and dry; -its smoke from its heating quality confuses the ideas, and reduces -the strength; from its discutient property, it weakens the brain, -and depresses the spirits. Those who are of a cold, moist temperament, -may derive benefit from its use, but those who are of equal temperament -cannot use it with impunity. It is useful in piles the consequence of -cold, also in waterbrash, and complaints of this nature; it promotes -digestion and dissipates flatulent pains. It increases the strength -of vision when it is weakened by the effects of cold, but adds to it -when it has been caused by heat. In difficulty of breathing or pain -in the chest, proceeding from an accumulation of viscid phlegm, it is -very useful. It is prejudicial in thin spare habits; it shuts all the -passages, decreases the power of the absorbents, and consequently -prevents the absorption of chyle, thereby weakening the system, -and drying up and emaciating the body. It produces hectic fever in -the aged, and many other disorders in which medicine is useless. Its -corrector, according to the author of the Dara Shekoi, is milk; and -he gives this wise reason for it, that cloth stained with the smoke -of tabacco can only be cleaned with milk. It is used in many ways, -chewed, snuffed, smoked, &c. but is least prejudicial when smoked, -after being mixed up with goor and preserves. I have by experience -found it effectual in wind of the stomach, in pains produced by -flatulence, and in the waterbrash; but have found it prejudicial -to those labouring under depression of spirits, or who are subject -to heartburns. - -The dried plant brought from Surat is more drying than any other, -and ought to be washed in rose-water or Bedemushk before use. - -It is used by the Pytans as snuff: as a cephalic it strengthens -the brain, and prevents the effects of indigestion on that organ, -but it should not be used when people have weak eyes from heat. The -author of the Ulfaz Udwiyeh says, that he had a friend who was blind, -and that meeting him afterwards quite recovered, he was surprised to -learn that his cure had been effected by his having smoked equal parts -of tobacco and Sumhaloo; the women eat the Surat tobacco with pawn: -and it increases digestion, and is discutient. It is beneficial in -those temperaments which are cold and moist, and its juice is used -for drying the vagina. - -312 Tamaal.--The Serroe tree. A tree resembling the Jhow, but much -larger; in its properties resembling the Saul.

It removes wind, is cardiac, and promotes dryness; those -of a hot and dry temperament will be injured by its use; it sweetens -the breath, and is generally known by this name. - -319 Tunkaar.--"Impure Borate of Soda, Boras SodÊ." A name of Borax, -called also Zirkur; it is of two kinds, one white, called Curia, -the other named Telia. The proportion of both are the same; it is -refrigerant and detergent; strong, hot, and useful in mucus and wind, -cough, and asthma. It is burnt in the fire, pounded, and with equal -parts of Aloes and a little treacle made into pills, and as many -used daily as will agree with the stomach. These will remove pains in -the stomach, internal parts, chronic cough, difficulty of breathing, -or any complaint of that nature. It is recommended, that it be taken -every day for at least 20 days, but if this cannot be done, it may be -used at intervals for the above-mentioned complaints; this advice is -given from the Echtyarat Casmi. The whole properties of this medicine -are only known to Indian physicians, and from experience, I know it -to be a powerful promoter of digestion if taken about an hour after -meals with a little water only; it is called also Tunkunka·r. - -320 Tawakeer.--A medicine of India, useful in gonorrhoea and dysuria -ardens. - -321 Tombrir, also Tombie.--A bitter cuddoo.

If the seed be taken -when the moon is in the wane, bruised, and for 21 days, steeped in -the juice of ginger, its oil extracted and preserved in a bottle, -it will be found that this oil, when a year old, rubbed over the body -in weakly habits will renovate strength, and it is also said that it -will consolidate mercury. - -322 Turai.--"Cucumis Acutangulus, Roxb.

In my opinion it is cool and moist, and -stomachic, but the one without the stone, named BËd·na, is more so -than the other kinds. - -The juice of the fruit is to be preferred as a stomachic, and is more -grateful to the taste. It is best prepared by being sprinkled with -salt, and shaken in a dish, which deprives it of its great astringency -and corrects its hurtful qualities. - -There is a kind of jamun of the color of dry grass, of a yellowish -white color, smaller than those described, of a pleasant smell.

It is in my opinion -cool, cardiac, drying; allays heat and thirst, and prevents the ill -effects of wind, loosens phlegm and bile, strengthens the stomach; -is very grateful when ate with sugar; and its acid is less hurtful -than many others. I have known a man of a bilious temperament, who -told me that he always found relief from the use of this orange. The -emperor was in the habit of eating it in Pilaus, when sweetened with -sugar and rose-water, and thus used, he called it Rahut Jahn. It -is thus rendered more cooling and more grateful to the taste. He -also ate it when cooled in ice, and found it useful in giving tone -to the stomach. The people of India use it with their food. If ate -after having been sprinkled with a little salt, its acid will have -less effect on the teeth, mouth, and throat; this however, can only -be necessary when unripe or not of the best kind. "Many more trivial -properties are ascribed to this orange in the original, which would -only be waste of time and paper to record."--Trans.

Toorabalhalik. There are six kinds of -this, one named Sunkia, the third Godunta, the fourth Darma, the fifth -Huldia; but each will be noticed under its own proper head. The Yunani -physicians do not allow this to form a part of their prescriptions, -as they believe it destroys the vital principle; and such medicines as -are deleterious in their effects, such as opium, they always exhibit -with correctors, for this reason such remedies are seldom noticed or -used by them. The physicians of India, on the contrary, find these -drugs more effectual in many disorders than others of less power, -and such the calx of metals. For this reason too, I am in the habit -of seldom giving these remedies internally, but I usually confine -my use of them to external application, and as aphrodisiacs, which -I prescribe to a few friends, who may have derived no benefit from -Yunani prescriptions. It is better, however, to use as few of them -as possible.

To my knowledge, it is much used in piles; it is said to -be beneficial in cholics and pains in the bowels. It increases bile; -and is hurtful in disorders of blood; it is also injurious to the -throat. Its correctors are fresh dhaie, and being parboiled in water -and the water changed. It may also be corrected by being boiled with -tamarind or anula leaves.

It is cool and aphrodisiac; induces corpulence; -is astringent, and cures boils and eruptions, Juzam, and disorders -of the blood and bile: some call its gum Moocherus, the author of -the Topha for instance; but Moocherus is the gum or flower of the -Phoopul tree. In the opinion of the physicians of India, the Sembill -is a powerful medicine as an aphrodisiac. If the juice of the root -be made into sherbet with equal part of sugar, it will increase age -by restoring the vital energy, increase understanding and semen; -the larger and older the tree, and the thicker the root, the greater -its strength as a medicine. The small roots are cut into slices, -dried on a rope, and sold; in this state, it resembles Bhamun Soorkh. - -Ascetics have said, that the perpendicular root of a large full -grown Sembill tree, cut in pieces, dried and reduced to a powder -is powerfully aphrodisiac, in the quantity of 4 direms daily. I -have taken this powder to the quantity of one tolah with sugar, and -have also prescribed it with advantage; it strengthens the stomach, -and is gently laxative. If given with honey, I conceive that its -virtues will be increased. The author of the celebrated work Ahmed -Ben Shirazee has told the following story, which I shall relate as -nearly as may be in his own words. "I was," says he, "on a journey, -when coming to a village in India, and being very thirsty, I met an -old man from whom I requested water to drink; I observed that this old -man had a peculiarly healthy appearance, and seemed plump and stout; -he had a young woman with him, whom he sent to his house for water, -and who brought it me to drink. I then asked him whether that young -girl was his daughter; he laughing answered that she was his wife, -and that he had three others equally young. I was somewhat surprised -at this, and asked him if this was not too many for him; he replied -no! More and more astonished, I asked him if this was really the case; -he avowed it to be so. I then questioned him how he came to be endowed -with so much strength, and how old he was; he told me that his age -was 110 years, and related the following facts: That when 50 years' -old he had already become aged and feeble, and was so much decayed in -constitution, that he seldom rose from his bed, and when he did so, -was obliged to support himself on a crutch. That a fakeer passing that -way observed his feeble state, and feeling compassion for his helpless -situation, asked him what ailed him: he replied, nothing; but that old -age had come upon him. The fakeer then gave him a medicine which he -had taken ever since, with an injunction to abstain from all acids: -this he had done, and that the effect was such as I saw. He likewise -told me that he had a son nearly 80 years of age, who had also used -the fakeer's prescription, and who was much stouter and more healthy -in every respect than he. - -"Astonished at this relation, I procured the receipt, and thus hand -it down to posterity. - -"Take the white roots of a full grown, healthy Sembill tree, which -is soft; cut them in pieces, dry them in the shade, and reduce them -to a powder: sift it very fine, with equal parts of sugar, and over -the fire, form it into an electuary: of this 5 direms are to be eaten -daily, and no acid to be used. - -"To this the old man swore, and brought his son and introduced him to -me to prove the truth of his story. The son corroborated the assertion -of his father, and added that he had ate the remedy only two years, -when he became as he then was; certain it is, he had not a grey hair -in his head." - -622 Semb.--also SÈme.

If half a masha of the oil of this be ate with Paan in the -cold weather, it will produce a genial warmth over the body; it will -also remove affections from cold, and be found aphrodisiac. The oil -is thus procured: - -The plant is moistened with water, and then rubbed between the -hands with any sweet-scented oil, but not too much; it is then to -be extracted in the same manner as that of Agur is procured. If a -chittack of the following oil be eaten daily for 40 days, and during -this time abstaining from intercourse with woman, it will be found -that the aphrodisiac power will have become so great, that it will -seem wonderful. It is thus prepared: - -Take the leaves, root, and all parts of the plant; bruise them, -sprinkling a little water over them; then squeeze out 20 seers of the -juice, and add to it five seers of sweet oil; boil the whole till the -juice shall have evaporated, and the residue is the oil.

Its juice is vermifuge. If three masha of the leaf buds -with half masha of black peepul be eaten for 21 days, it will remove -disorders and foulness of blood; increase the strength of vision, and -by its juice being introduced into the eyes, will cure night-blindness. - -I have given it for cleansing the blood, correcting vitiated bile, -scabies, idiotism, and all disorders arising from disordered bile, -thus: By mixing the distilled water, above-mentioned, with filings of -Sissoo, the leaves, flowers, and bark of the Bucaen, and Shatirra, and -Surphonka, white Sandal, filed, and Gowzeban, mixed well, and a water -distilled.

Thus, we do not -necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper -edition. - -Most people start at our website which has the main PG search -facility: www.gutenberg.org - -This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, -including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary -Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to -subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. - - diff --git a/old/53755-0.zip b/old/53755-0.zip Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index a060106..0000000 --- a/old/53755-0.zip +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/53755-h.zip b/old/53755-h.zip Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 71eeb3a..0000000 --- a/old/53755-h.zip +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/53755-h/53755-h.htm b/old/53755-h/53755-h.htm deleted file mode 100644 index fce5460..0000000 --- a/old/53755-h/53755-h.htm +++ /dev/null @@ -1,15393 +0,0 @@ -<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" -"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> -<!-- This HTML file has been automatically generated from an XML source on 2016-12-18T09:50:18Z. --> -<html lang="en"> -<head> -<meta name="generator" content= -"HTML Tidy for Windows (vers 25 March 2009), see www.w3.org"> -<title>The Taleef Shereef, Or Indian Materia Medica</title> -<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;

In this I may have acted wrong, but I did so from the -conviction, that by this method, the names would be more familiar, and -better understood, by the Natives in researches after the different -drugs. <span class="pagenum">[<a id="xd24e617" href="#xd24e617" name= -"xd24e617">iv</a>]</span></p> -<p class="par">I have inserted as many of the systematic names as I -could trace, both from Dr. Fleming’s work, and those of others; -but I regret, that I was not honored in the acquaintance of any -Botanist who could have assisted me with more.</p> -<p class="par">To the youth of the profession, I trust the work may be -acceptable, by leading them to the knowledge, that such medicines are -in existence; and my medical brethren of the higher grades may not deem -further inquiry into the properties of native drugs beneath their -notice.</p> -<p class="par">To the profession at large, then, I beg leave to -dedicate this Translation, with the hope, that they will make due -allowance for all faults, and that some of the more experienced will -favor us with another and better edition.</p> -<p class="par">To my respected friends Messrs. Wilson and Twining, the -profession is indebted, that this little work ever saw light; and -though they are godfathers to none of its errors, yet without their -encouragement and aid, it must have slumbered in oblivion, and remained -as was intended, (after the failure of an attempt on the part of the -translator,) a manual for his own private use. <span class= -"pagenum">[<a id="xd24e626" href="#xd24e626" name= -"xd24e626">v</a>]</span></p> -</div> -</div> -<div id="gloss" class="div1 glossary"><span class="pagenum">[<a href= -"#toc">Contents</a>]</span> -<div class="divHead"> -<h2 class="main">GLOSSARY.</h2> -</div> -<div class="divBody"> -<p class="par first"></p> -<div class="table"> -<table> -<tr> -<td class="cellLeft cellTop">Acouta,</td> -<td class="cellRight cellTop">Herpes.</td> -</tr> -<tr> -<td class="cellLeft">Aruk,</td> -<td class="cellRight">Distilled liquid.</td> -</tr> -<tr> -<td class="cellLeft">Boolbul,</td> -<td class="cellRight">Indian Nightingale.</td> -</tr> -<tr> -<td class="cellLeft">Badgola,</td> -<td class="cellRight">Splenitis.</td> -</tr> -<tr> -<td class="cellLeft">Coir,</td> -<td class="cellRight">Fibrous substance surrounding the Cocoanut.</td> -</tr> -<tr> -<td class="cellLeft">Daad,</td> -<td class="cellRight">Impetigo.</td> -</tr> -<tr> -<td class="cellLeft">Dhats,</td> -<td class="cellRight">Component parts of the human frame.</td> -</tr> -<tr> -<td class="cellLeft">Elaous,</td> -<td class="cellRight">Disease of the Intestines.

very common in Hindostan. -The fruit is about the size of, and very much resembling in shape, a -goat’s kidney, and having the external appearance of an apple. -When ripe, it sometimes retains the green color, but oftener becomes -yellow, or red and yellow.</p> -<p class="par">The virtues ascribed to this tree, are as -follows:—The bruised leaves and young shoots applied to the hair, -expedite its growth, and considerably darken its color.</p> -<p class="par">The bark of the trunk of the tree, and of its roots, is -cooling and astringent; the former powerfully so. The leaves are -astringent, and promote digestion; their ashes styptic.</p> -<p class="par">The young flowers are cool and drying; have a pleasant -aromatic scent, and when taken internally, are cooling and astringent; -recommended for the cure of chronic Gonorrhœa or Gleet, purulent -expectoration, bilious foulness of the blood and boils. The young -unripe fruit has much acidity, and is drying; moderately used, it -increases all the animal secretions, and is beneficial in chronic -affections of the liver; it promotes appetite, and is lithonthriptic. -The fruit, when ripe, is sweet, cooling, <a id="xd24e2121" name= -"xd24e2121"></a>mucilaginous and heavy, tending to allay thirst, and -useful in nervous affections; strengthens the system, restores impaired -appetite, (is said to moderate an increased secretion of bile,) and -improves the complexion. The fruit is of various sizes, from a few -drachms to a <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb2" href="#pb2" name= -"pb2">2</a>]</span>pound weight; but it is usually met with weighing -about 4 ounces. It becomes acid about a month after the fall of the -flower, in which state it is used as preserves, such as jellies, -pickles, &c.; at this time, too, it is used as seasoning for -<i>Pilaus</i>, and other dishes; for when the stone or kernel has -become hard, it is no longer fit for these purposes. When the fruit has -attained its full growth, and when nearly ripe, it is to be taken from -the tree, and put into dry grass, straw, or the leaves of the Palass -tree, and there allowed to become ripe; this process deprives it of all -acidity, and also prevents the formation of a resinous gum, which it -contracts when allowed to ripen on the tree, and which renders it too -pungent to be eaten with relish.</p> -<p class="par">The fruit is in perfection in the hot winds, and when -the rains commence, it ripens very fast; before the cold weather it is -usually out of season.</p> -<p class="par">There are some trees that blossom the whole year, and -some few that even produce fruit; but instances of this are very -rare.</p> -<p class="par">There is a variety of this tree on which the fruit is -sweet from its first formation; this requires to be used early, -otherwise it will in all probability become a prey to insects.</p> -<p class="par">Some trees produce fruit only once in 4 years. In -general, it produces fruit in abundance every second year, and less in -the alternate year; some are even perfectly barren every alternate -year.</p> -<p class="par">There is a mode of manuring this tree, which it is said -improves the flavour of the fruit greatly; this is mixing the juice of -its fruit with milk, and pouring it over the roots. It is also said to -be possible to communicate the flavor of any particular fruit to the -mangoe, by its expressed juice being made use of, as an application to -the roots of the tree.</p> -<p class="par">The kernel of the mangoe, roasted, is pleasant to the -taste, and grateful to the stomach; it is much recommended in laxities -of the bowels, and strengthens the <i>primæ viæ</i>; water -drank after having eat of this kernel, seems to possess a flavor -peculiarly excellent. The usual mode of preparing them, is to allow -them to remain exposed to the rains, till the shell shall have become -decayed; by this process it is deprived of any heating or irritating -property. <span class="corr" id="xd24e2144" title= -"Source: Perpared">Prepared</span> in this manner, and kept a short -time in lime juice, taken out, <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb3" href= -"#pb3" name="pb3">3</a>]</span>bruised and mixed with salt, fennel, -&c, it is much extolled for strengthening the stomach, and -promoting digestion.</p> -<p class="par">If preserved for 3 years, pounded, and swallowed to the -quantity of a tolah, with a little water, no medicine is preferable for -strengthening bowels habitually lax.</p> -<p class="par">In the acid state, the fruit is very prejudicial to -those who have any disorders in their teeth, a cough, an affection of -the chest, or who are subject to cholicky pain in the bowels, but very -beneficial when used in irritable habits. The best method of using them -is this. The acid unripe fruit, after the outer rind has been -<span class="corr" id="xd24e2153" title= -"Corrected by author from: pealed">peeled</span> off, is to be cut into -thin slices, and infused for some hours in water; this water so -impregnated, is to be drained off, mixed with a sufficient proportion -of sugar, and used as sherbet. It produces a great relish for food, and -is in other respects beneficial. The same effects are produced by the -unripe fruit, being roasted and allowed to remain in water, as above -mentioned. It is recommended in paralysis, from <i>coup de vent</i>. -Many physicians have considered the mangoe to be of a cooling nature, -but, in my opinion, it is heating in all its stages. The Yunani -physicians have stated the ripe fruit to be hot in the 2d, and dry in -the 3d degree.</p> -<p class="par">Its virtues may be described in a few words. It -strengthens the system, gives tone to the kidnies<a id="xd24e2163" -name="xd24e2163"></a>, restores impaired appetite, &c. It is -aperient, improves the complexion, beneficial in piles, an useful -deobstruent, braces and increases the bulk of the solids, and removes -nervous affections. In some of these disorders I am inclined to doubt -of its good effects, but such virtues are attributed to it. It is -recommended, in order to prevent any bad effects from the fruit in its -unripe state, that raisins be <span class="corr" id="xd24e2165" title= -"Source: eat">eaten</span> with it. Hukeem Alwee Khan, a man of -eminence in his profession in the reign of Mahommed Shah, says, that if -ever this fruit disagreed with the system, it must have been eaten when -unripe or green.</p> -<p class="par">I had occasion to attend a gentleman of very high rank, -who laboured under dropsy; I cured him of the disease, but 3 years -afterwards, having <span class="corr" id="xd24e2170" title= -"Source: eat">eaten</span> a large quantity of mangoes, the disease -returned, and I have observed the same effects in other cases.</p> -<p class="par">Hukeem Alli Mughphoor, physician, states, that -influenced by the resemblance of the mangoe to the human kidney, he -concluded <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb4" href="#pb4" name= -"pb4">4</a>]</span>that it must be beneficial in that organ, (disorders -of;) he therefore prescribed it in a case of hectic fever, arising from -diseased kidney, and completely cured the disease. In this I differ -from him entirely; he must have mistaken the nature of the complaint, -for a remedy given expressly for the cure of a disease in the kidney, -could <i>not</i>, at the same time, have removed the fever, excepting -appropriate medicines had been administered along with it!!</p> -<p class="par">The best mangoes are those having a thin juice, sweet -and free from fibres; and they ought to be cooled in water or in ice, -especially during the hot weather. It is preferable to use the juice of -the fruit without eating any of the fibrous parts; a neglect of this -may produce various disorders, such as indigestion, cholicky pains, -&c. It is very common to eat the expressed juice, mixed with sugar -and other things, with rice, or with bread, but this is great -imprudence; for in the most healthy subjects it may produce nausea, and -general uneasiness.</p> -<p class="par">Should any ill effects follow the use of the mangoe, -milk, or the kernel of the fruit, will be found a corrector. My -father’s opinion is, that these are not the only remedies; for if -it produces any heating effect, curdled milk will give relief, or even -cold water, or acidulated sherbet, and he himself was always in the -habit of using the <i>Phalsa</i> sherbet on these occasions.</p> -<p class="par">Should cholic be produced, the Oil of Almonds or other -sweet oils, will remove the complaint; and a diarrhœa is to be -cured by the use of the kernel; and a swelling of the abdomen, by milk, -in which a little ginger has been mixed; or even ginger by itself will -have the effect</p> -<p class="par">A substitute for mangoe, as a medicine, may be had in -Chobe Cheenee.</p> -<p class="par">In general, it will be adviseable to abstain from the -use of the mangoe, till 2 or 3 showers of rain have fallen; but those -of a cold phlegmatic or melancholic temperament do not require to be so -particular.</p> -<p class="par">Those for whose complaints mangoes have been -recommended, have in a few months derived great benefit from their use, -by eating them with camel’s milk. There are many kinds of this -fruit, and their names are as various; but the stronger the scent, the -<span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb5" href="#pb5" name= -"pb5">5</a>]</span>more effectual they are as a medicine.

I then asked him whether that young girl was his daughter; he -laughing answered that she was his wife, and that he had three others -equally young. I was somewhat surprised at this, and asked him if this -was not too many for him; he replied no! More and more astonished, I -asked him if this was really the case; he avowed it to be so. I then -questioned him how he came to be endowed with so much strength, and how -old he was; he told me that his age was 110 years, and related the -following facts: That when 50 years’ old he had already become -aged and feeble, and was so much decayed in constitution, that he -seldom rose from his bed, and when he did so, was obliged to support -himself on a crutch. That a fakeer passing that way observed his feeble -state, and feeling compassion for his helpless situation, asked him -what ailed him: he replied, nothing; but that old age had come upon -him. The fakeer then gave him a medicine which he had taken ever since, -with an injunction to abstain from all acids: this he had done, and -that the effect was such as I saw. He likewise told me that he had a -son nearly 80 years of age, who had also used the fakeer’s -prescription, and who was much stouter and more healthy in every -respect than he.</p> -<p class="par">“Astonished at this relation, I procured the -receipt, and thus hand it down to posterity.</p> -<p class="par">“Take the white roots of a full grown, healthy -Sembill tree, which is soft; cut them in pieces, dry them in the shade, -and reduce them to a powder: sift it very fine, with equal parts of -sugar, and over the fire, form it into an electuary: of this 5 direms -are to be eaten daily, and no acid to be used.</p> -<p class="par">“To this the old man swore, and brought his son -and introduced him to me to prove the truth of his story.

In -this I may have acted wrong, but I did so from the conviction, that by -this method, the names would be more familiar, and better understood, -by the Natives in researches after the different drugs. - -I have inserted as many of the systematic names as I could trace, -both from Dr. Fleming's work, and those of others; but I regret, -that I was not honored in the acquaintance of any Botanist who could -have assisted me with more. - -To the youth of the profession, I trust the work may be acceptable, by -leading them to the knowledge, that such medicines are in existence; -and my medical brethren of the higher grades may not deem further -inquiry into the properties of native drugs beneath their notice. - -To the profession at large, then, I beg leave to dedicate this -Translation, with the hope, that they will make due allowance for -all faults, and that some of the more experienced will favor us with -another and better edition. - -To my respected friends Messrs. Wilson and Twining, the profession is -indebted, that this little work ever saw light; and though they are -godfathers to none of its errors, yet without their encouragement and -aid, it must have slumbered in oblivion, and remained as was intended, -(after the failure of an attempt on the part of the translator,) -a manual for his own private use. - - - - - - - - -GLOSSARY. - - -Acouta, Herpes. -Aruk, Distilled liquid. -Boolbul, Indian Nightingale. -Badgola, Splenitis. -Coir, Fibrous substance surrounding the Cocoanut. -Daad, Impetigo. -Dhats, Component parts of the human frame. -Elaous, Disease of the Intestines.

The fruit is -about the size of, and very much resembling in shape, a goat's kidney, -and having the external appearance of an apple. When ripe, it sometimes -retains the green color, but oftener becomes yellow, or red and yellow. - -The virtues ascribed to this tree, are as follows:--The bruised -leaves and young shoots applied to the hair, expedite its growth, -and considerably darken its color. - -The bark of the trunk of the tree, and of its roots, is cooling and -astringent; the former powerfully so. The leaves are astringent, -and promote digestion; their ashes styptic. - -The young flowers are cool and drying; have a pleasant aromatic scent, -and when taken internally, are cooling and astringent; recommended -for the cure of chronic Gonorrhoea or Gleet, purulent expectoration, -bilious foulness of the blood and boils. The young unripe fruit has -much acidity, and is drying; moderately used, it increases all the -animal secretions, and is beneficial in chronic affections of the -liver; it promotes appetite, and is lithonthriptic. The fruit, when -ripe, is sweet, cooling, mucilaginous and heavy, tending to allay -thirst, and useful in nervous affections; strengthens the system, -restores impaired appetite, (is said to moderate an increased secretion -of bile,) and improves the complexion. The fruit is of various sizes, -from a few drachms to a pound weight; but it is usually met with -weighing about 4 ounces. It becomes acid about a month after the fall -of the flower, in which state it is used as preserves, such as jellies, -pickles, &c.; at this time, too, it is used as seasoning for Pilaus, -and other dishes; for when the stone or kernel has become hard, it -is no longer fit for these purposes. When the fruit has attained its -full growth, and when nearly ripe, it is to be taken from the tree, -and put into dry grass, straw, or the leaves of the Palass tree, and -there allowed to become ripe; this process deprives it of all acidity, -and also prevents the formation of a resinous gum, which it contracts -when allowed to ripen on the tree, and which renders it too pungent -to be eaten with relish. - -The fruit is in perfection in the hot winds, and when the rains -commence, it ripens very fast; before the cold weather it is usually -out of season. - -There are some trees that blossom the whole year, and some few that -even produce fruit; but instances of this are very rare. - -There is a variety of this tree on which the fruit is sweet from its -first formation; this requires to be used early, otherwise it will -in all probability become a prey to insects. - -Some trees produce fruit only once in 4 years. In general, it produces -fruit in abundance every second year, and less in the alternate year; -some are even perfectly barren every alternate year. - -There is a mode of manuring this tree, which it is said improves -the flavour of the fruit greatly; this is mixing the juice of its -fruit with milk, and pouring it over the roots. It is also said to -be possible to communicate the flavor of any particular fruit to the -mangoe, by its expressed juice being made use of, as an application -to the roots of the tree. - -The kernel of the mangoe, roasted, is pleasant to the taste, and -grateful to the stomach; it is much recommended in laxities of the -bowels, and strengthens the prim vi; water drank after having eat -of this kernel, seems to possess a flavor peculiarly excellent. The -usual mode of preparing them, is to allow them to remain exposed to -the rains, till the shell shall have become decayed; by this process -it is deprived of any heating or irritating property. Prepared in this -manner, and kept a short time in lime juice, taken out, bruised and -mixed with salt, fennel, &c, it is much extolled for strengthening -the stomach, and promoting digestion. - -If preserved for 3 years, pounded, and swallowed to the quantity of a -tolah, with a little water, no medicine is preferable for strengthening -bowels habitually lax. - -In the acid state, the fruit is very prejudicial to those who have -any disorders in their teeth, a cough, an affection of the chest, or -who are subject to cholicky pain in the bowels, but very beneficial -when used in irritable habits. The best method of using them is -this. The acid unripe fruit, after the outer rind has been peeled -off, is to be cut into thin slices, and infused for some hours in -water; this water so impregnated, is to be drained off, mixed with -a sufficient proportion of sugar, and used as sherbet. It produces a -great relish for food, and is in other respects beneficial. The same -effects are produced by the unripe fruit, being roasted and allowed to -remain in water, as above mentioned. It is recommended in paralysis, -from coup de vent. Many physicians have considered the mangoe to be -of a cooling nature, but, in my opinion, it is heating in all its -stages. The Yunani physicians have stated the ripe fruit to be hot -in the 2d, and dry in the 3d degree. - -Its virtues may be described in a few words. It strengthens the -system, gives tone to the kidnies, restores impaired appetite, &c. It -is aperient, improves the complexion, beneficial in piles, an useful -deobstruent, braces and increases the bulk of the solids, and removes -nervous affections. In some of these disorders I am inclined to doubt -of its good effects, but such virtues are attributed to it. It is -recommended, in order to prevent any bad effects from the fruit in -its unripe state, that raisins be eaten with it. Hukeem Alwee Khan, -a man of eminence in his profession in the reign of Mahommed Shah, -says, that if ever this fruit disagreed with the system, it must have -been eaten when unripe or green. - -I had occasion to attend a gentleman of very high rank, who laboured -under dropsy; I cured him of the disease, but 3 years afterwards, -having eaten a large quantity of mangoes, the disease returned, -and I have observed the same effects in other cases. - -Hukeem Alli Mughphoor, physician, states, that influenced by the -resemblance of the mangoe to the human kidney, he concluded that -it must be beneficial in that organ, (disorders of;) he therefore -prescribed it in a case of hectic fever, arising from diseased kidney, -and completely cured the disease. In this I differ from him entirely; -he must have mistaken the nature of the complaint, for a remedy given -expressly for the cure of a disease in the kidney, could not, at the -same time, have removed the fever, excepting appropriate medicines -had been administered along with it!! - -The best mangoes are those having a thin juice, sweet and free from -fibres; and they ought to be cooled in water or in ice, especially -during the hot weather. It is preferable to use the juice of the fruit -without eating any of the fibrous parts; a neglect of this may produce -various disorders, such as indigestion, cholicky pains, &c. It is very -common to eat the expressed juice, mixed with sugar and other things, -with rice, or with bread, but this is great imprudence; for in the -most healthy subjects it may produce nausea, and general uneasiness. - -Should any ill effects follow the use of the mangoe, milk, or the -kernel of the fruit, will be found a corrector. My father's opinion -is, that these are not the only remedies; for if it produces any -heating effect, curdled milk will give relief, or even cold water, -or acidulated sherbet, and he himself was always in the habit of -using the Phalsa sherbet on these occasions. - -Should cholic be produced, the Oil of Almonds or other sweet oils, -will remove the complaint; and a diarrhoea is to be cured by the use of -the kernel; and a swelling of the abdomen, by milk, in which a little -ginger has been mixed; or even ginger by itself will have the effect - -A substitute for mangoe, as a medicine, may be had in Chobe Cheenee. - -In general, it will be adviseable to abstain from the use of the -mangoe, till 2 or 3 showers of rain have fallen; but those of a -cold phlegmatic or melancholic temperament do not require to be -so particular. - -Those for whose complaints mangoes have been recommended, have in a -few months derived great benefit from their use, by eating them with -camel's milk. There are many kinds of this fruit, and their names -are as various; but the stronger the scent, the more effectual they -are as a medicine. In Persian it is called Nugzuck. - -2 Aramsheetul.--Pungent and cooling; useful in bilious and catarrhal -complaints; also recommended in foulness of the blood. - -3 Akaholie.--Vermifuge, also recommended in bilious and catarrhal -disorders, in seminal weakness and gonorrhoea. - -4 Adki.--Vide Arhir. - -5 Anula. (nasal N.)--Or Amle, (Phyllanthus emblica, W. Murray IV. 127, -Myrobolans.) The fruit round, like a plum. The tree like that of the -tamarind, of a pleasant acid, and sweetish astringent taste. It is -aperient, cooling, and drying; of great use in eruptions of the skin, -arising from a redundance of bile. Other virtues ascribed to this -fruit may be found in all Yunani works. It is also called Bidjee and -Dhatri Phill, used by the natives for cleansing the hair. - -6 Aru.--A variety of plum, much resembling the common sort, both in -the tree and fruit; it however possesses more acidity, and is less -easy of digestion. - -7 Abi.--Pyrus Cidonia. The Quince; slightly astringent, and cool in -a great degree; heavy and difficult of digestion, yet it is gently -laxative and expectorant, and is recommended for strengthening the -powers of virility. In Arabic Siffirjill, Persian Behi. - -8 Aak.--Arug, Mudar, Asclepias gigantea. A milky shrub, very common -all over India; its pod resembles a mangoe, but rather longer in -proportion: when ripe it breaks, and is found filled with a white -substance, resembling silk, to which the seeds are fixed. The leaves -of the plant resemble the Dak, but are somewhat smaller: its height is -generally from 1 to 1 1/2 yard; when its leaves or stalk are broken, -a white milky liquid exudes. There are two kinds, white and red; -both are purgatives, violently so. It is said to be beneficial in -the following disorders. Foulness of the blood, bilious affections, -Juzam, Psora, Zrbad, boils, cuticular eruptions, diseases of the -liver, visceral obstructions, hmorrhoids, all internal diseases, -dropsy and worms. - -("Many and wonderful virtues are ascribed to this plant; but I must -refer those who have faith in charms to the original Taleef Shereef, -when their curiosity will be amply gratified." Translator.) - -All the above virtues have been ascribed to this plant; my opinion -is, that the application of the leaves is useful in swellings, -promotes suppuration in indolent tumors, and cures eruptions on the -skin. The milk blisters, and if applied to the eye, it produces -swelling, itchiness, and loss of vision. The powder of the root, -mixed with goat's blood and fresh butter, and applied to the eye, -is said materially to strengthen vision. In other works it is said, -that the milk of every variety of this plant is poisonous, and -violently cathartic. - -9 Aal.--Vide Mujeet, Rubia, Madder, a wood used for dyeing a red -color, and forming a principal article of commerce in some parts of -India. In the "Dhara Shakoi" it is called Mujeet, but I suspect that -they are different plants, as the Mujeet is thin, and of a fine red -color; whereas the Aal is blackish, with a tinge of yellow, though -not thicker than the other. - -10 Aditt Bagut.--In Persian, Aftab Perust, Helianthus Annuus. The -sun-flower; the name of a flower called also Soorujmookee. The -stem grows straight about a man's height; the leaves are broad and -triangular, the flower circular, flat and yellow, with serrated edges, -and it is said to follow the sun in his diurnal progress. There are -two kinds, a small and greater; their medical properties the same; -they are bitter to the taste, and heating in a considerable degree. It -is beneficial in cholicks, dropsical affections, foulness of stomach, -and rheumatism; it also improves appetite, and promotes expectoration -in cases of cold, accompanied by fever. - -11 Area.--A culinary fruit resembling the cucumber, and grows in -the rainy season; it is so cooling that it produces pains all over -the body; it is moreover difficult of digestion, and if taken in any -quantity produces fever. - -12 Anwul (Nasal).--A large tree very common in India, which when -in flower, has a very beautiful appearance; its flowers are yellow, -resembling those of the Cassia. There are two kinds of this, one called -Mahedi Anwul. Of this also there are two varieties. It is cooling, and -the medicinal properties of all varieties are the same. It is used with -good effect in bilious vomitings, and also in leprous affections of the -skin. It is recommended in weakness of the eyes, asthma, affections -of the chest, and foulness of blood. It strengthens the weak and -emaciated, and braces the solids when relaxed by disease or otherwise. - -13 Aruk.--This name is indiscriminately given to four different kinds -of trees; Nowa, Cutel, Burhil and Taar. - -14 Aloo (Bochara).--A kind of plum. - -15 Abnoos (Ebony).--A large tree, producing a sweet fruit like -grapes. Its leaves resemble those of the Sinobir, but are somewhat -broader: it is an evergreen, and its wood is, when good and full-grown, -dark-colored and durable; its leaves are smooth and glassy; its -properties said to be very active and deleterious; it is heating in -a considerable degree, and is said to be lithonthriptic. It dispels -flatulency, and cures tympanites. It is recommended in chronic -affections of the liver. Filings or raspings of the wood are styptic, -and its charcoal more so; a decoction of the wood, in spirits, is very -effectual in discussing scrophulous tumours, when externally applied. - -The raspings of the wood, mixed with whites of eggs, is an excellent -application to scalds and burns; they are also famed for cleaning -deep foul ulcers, and inducing the growth of healthy granulation. - -Taken internally, the dose is 10 1/2 Mashas, and should it disagree -with the stomach, which it often does, honey, or Gum Arabic, with -sweet basil, are correctors. The large Baer Tree, (Konar), is a good -substitute for the Abnoos; quality, hot 3, dry 2. Persian Awnoos. - -16 Anbihildee.--Curcuma zedoaria, (Rox.) Amomum Zed. Wildenow. An -Indian root, hot and dry in the 2d degree; useful in herpes, and -foulness of the blood, and much esteemed as an external application -in wounds and bruises, for which it is also internally exhibited: -orange juice used as a vehicle, corrects, in some degree, its heating -quality; or if this be not procurable, Bapahic, or the seed of the -Penwur, or Turmeric, will have the same effect; the medicine may be -given to the quantity of 3 1/2 Masha. - -17 Apurjeeta.--Clitoria ternatea, Crow's beak, a twining shrub. The -natives call it Kowwa Thontee, which literally signifies crow's -beak, also Neelisbund; the plant is about a foot and a half high, -and sometimes less, resembling the Cungheiy, only the leaves of the -latter are smooth and polished, while those of the former are rough and -hard; both the Apurjeeta and the variety Neelisbund, are cooling. It is -beneficial in weakness of sight, in clearing the voice and soreness of -the throat, and is useful in the poisonous bites of leeches. It is also -of use in rheumatic affections of the joints, Juzam, bilious disorders, -mucous discharge from the lungs or bowels; it allays general heat, -and is said to be an antidote to certain poisonous substances, and -of great efficacy in hard indolent tumours, and affections of the skin. - -18 Abruc.--Talc, A fossil substance, beneficial in seminal weakness, -redundance of bile, mucus, &c. An antidote to poison. The physicians -of Hindostan prepare it for use by calcination. Arabic, Tulk. - -19 Abhea.--A name for Hurr; it also signifies the water of life, -and a medicine called Guloe. - -20 Aotungun.--A very common seed, resembling coriander. In powder -it is recommended as giving strength to the system, and rendering -Aphrodisie more permanent. It is a very favorite medicine in India. It -is, moreover, useful in Nephritia and liver complaints, and it is very -innocent in its operation. Some physicians describe it as hot and dry, -in a considerable degree, and disagreeing with the stomach; they, -therefore, recommend it to be taken with a proportion of sugar. In -all its properties the Maadentezerrubad states the Bonphilly to be -nearly the same; dose 4 1/4 Mashas. - -21 Atees.--The root. Of this there are two kinds, a white and black, -and both are very common. The white kind resembles the Jedwaar; the -root is very irregular in thickness. It frequently is found resembling -the white Bahmen. Both kinds are bitter, astringent, pungent, and -heating; aiding digestion, useful in dysentery, vomiting, and piles. - -22 Adjmode.--Bishop's Weed, Sisson Ammi, (Linn.) Amoos, (Arab.) Ajooan, -(Hind.) Nemkha, P. Ajamodum, S. A hot seed, stomachic cordial and -stimulant. (Ajmood, Parsley? Taylor. Apium Involucratum.) Apium -Involucratum, Rox. M. S. "Sp. Ch. Annual, glaucous, villous, superior -leaflets filiform, both general and partial, involucra, about 6 -leaved." Bitter and pungent, light and heating, increases appetite, -induces costiveness, and strengthens the vital energy; increases -the seminal secretion, and removes pains and other disorders, -the consequence of colds; beneficial in nausea, is vermifuge, -relieves hiccup, and is useful in Dysuria, but it produces heat in -the abdomen. It is called Curufs, but it is only a variety of this, -and is something betwixt that and Aniseed, though this may be owing -to the difference of cultivation. - -23 Adjwain.--"Anise Seed. In Arabic, Aneesoon. Pimpinella Anisum, Linn. - -"Ujwain. The seed of a plant of the Dill kind, Taylor. Ligusticum -Adjwaen, Roxb. Sp. Ch. annual, erect, leaves super de compound, -with filiform leaflets, ridges and furrows of the seeds distinct -and scabrous. This is what is recommended to notice by Dr. Percival, -under the name Ajava seed." - -A species of the above, of which there are two kinds, one of which is -called Juhar; both are bitter, pungent, and aromatic; it resembles the -Ajmode, but is smaller, and has a strong aromatic scent. It assists -digestion, improves appetite, is useful in rheumatism and catarrhal -affections; is vermifuge, beneficial in dropsy, dispels flatulence, -and is highly extolled in flatulent cholic. A. Nanchoa. - - -24 Adjwain. 25 Khorasanee. "Hyosciamus niger, Linn. Black -Henbane. Narcotic. Corrector, Vinegar." - -This plant grows thick from the root, and is covered with a hairy -down. The seeds are contained within a hard thick shell, and the -leaves are like those of the pomegranate flower. The pod is filled -with seeds of a small irregular shape. There is a plant called Hulbeh, -which resembles this, but is smaller. A. Buzurulbunje. - -26 Adjan.--Or Adjain, a large tree, with wide spreading branches, -in size approaching that of the mangoe; its leaves growing close, -and also resembling those of the mangoe tree, but longer and thinner; -the fruit is about 1 1/2 foot long, and very thin. - -27 Akhroat.--"The Walnut, Juglans regia, Linn." This is a native -of hilly countries; its leaves are like the Terpat; the fruit is -sweet to the taste, heating, and heavy; it loosens the bowels, and -restores strength; it is useful in rheumatic affections, increases -mental energy and the powers of manhood, and gives relief in flying -pains in the stomach. A. Jouz. - -28 Andaluck.--A kind of grain. - -29 Aderuck.--"Ginger, Amomum zinziber, Linn. Amomum zinziber, -Wild. Adraca, S. Sonth (dried root,) H. Sunthi, S." A very common root, -the stem of which is knotty, and from every knot, a leaf is produced; -it is hot and heavy; promotes digestion if eaten before meals, mixed -with Lahore salt, (rock salt;) it prevents flatulent swellings in -the stomach and bowels. P. Zinzibeel tur. It is much extolled as a -stomachic when prepared as sweetmeats; but if the syrup be allowed to -dry, it spoils, becomes less grateful to the taste, and its heating -quality is much increased. - -30 Arnee.--The name of a tree, in height that of the Peach tree, but -it is full of branches from the root upwards, and the leaves are like -those of the Sumhaloo; it is heating, and beneficial in rheumatic -complaints and swellings from cold. In the Dhintri it is described -as oleaginous and heavy; effectual in Jaundice, increasing appetite, -loosening the bowels, and removing flatulence. - -31 Arhir or Toor.--"Cytisus cajan." Some consider these as distinct -species, but in my opinion Toor is only Arhir in an overgrown -state. The plant grows to the height of a yard and half; and the -taste of the pea of the Arhir is preferable to that of the Toor. Toor -is sown and cut down at the same time as the sugar-cane; whereas the -Arhir is sown, and cut with the barley. The pod of the Toor is larger -than that of the Arhir; and the former has an unpleasant smell, which -is wanting in the latter; they are both used very commonly as food, -all over India. It is in its properties cool and dry, and produces -costiveness; it is useful in bilious and catarrhal disorders, -and in foulness of the blood. It is even said to be an antidote -to poisons. In its taste it is sweet, like that of the Cassela. I -conceive it hot in the 2d, and dry in the 3d degree, and recommend it -for strengthening the stomach. When used as food it is heavy; but is -beneficial in complaints having their origin in cold. If twice scalded -in hot water, before it is boiled, it will cause less thirst; and if -boiled in milk, or whey, it becomes less heating. A decoction of the -leaves is recommended as a wash for the mouth, in cases of toothache, -and diseases of the teeth. P. Shakool. - -32 Aord, or Aort, or Mash..--vide M. (Phaseolus Max.) - -33 Arne'.--The wild buffaloe. Its flesh recommended in -Marasmus. P. Gowmeche Serhaie. - -34 Arnd.--"The Castor, Ricinus communis, W. Palma Christi." Wildenow -says, "Planta semper annua, nunquam fructicosa vel arborea, nec in -calidissimis terr plagis liguescit." But this is incorrect; for the -plant is perennial, and becomes a moderate sized tree. The natives, -however, have a prejudice against allowing it to grow beyond 3 or -4 years, and even this is only in solitary places. The chief reason -I fancy is, that it interferes with the cultivation of the soil, if -permitted to remain. They usually sow it with grain, and reap the grain -crop before it has attained its full height; this they can do annually, -but seed sown under its shelter the second year, would not succeed. - -A shrub, with broad soft leaves, like the fig tree; it grows about 6 -or 8 feet in height; the root is hollow, and without flaw or wrinkle; -the seed grows in bunches like grapes, and the shell of the pod, -which resembles gall-nuts, is covered with soft prickles. The seed is -like the coffee bean, and is stained with different colored spots, -so as to appear like marbled paper; the kernel is white, soft, and -oleaginous. There are two kinds of this; one with a red, the other -with a green pod; the former is culled Jongia Arnde; both varieties -are sweet, heating, and heavy. The oil of the kernel is useful in -removing obstinate constrictions of the intestines, when given warm; -also in flatulency; rheumatic swellings of the joints and lumbago; -in strangury, spasms in the urinary bladder, headaches, dropsy, and -feverish complaints. It is also recommended as an expectorant in -difficulty of breathing, and in cough; in affections of the skin, -and in superabundance of mucus in the intestines. It is a warm, -stimulating purgative; the dose one or two table spoonsful. Both -my father, uncle, and I, have used it with great success, in cases -of obstinate cholic from costiveness. They also used the leaves -moistened with ghee, as an external application in rheumatic pains -and swellings. If the seeds are bruised, and mixed with curdled milk, -and allowed to remain in this state till they become putrid, they form -an excellent application for the cure of itch, and usually succeed -in 7 or 8 days. It has also been said, that if one of the kernels -be taken at first, and daily increased by one, till 100 are taken, -and then decreased in the same gradual manner, it will cure Juzam, -and other kinds of Leprosy. - -35 Arusa.--A name for the Baan Tree; vide Bansa. In the -Maadentezerrubad, it is thus described:--Arusa is a medicine of -Hindoostan, hot and moist, or in the opinion of some writers, -cool and moist, in the 2d degree: half an ounce of the juice, -with as much honey, is a cure for hoarseness, or loss of voice; -and used with the fruit of the Peepul tree, it increases appetite, -and corrects mucous discharges. A decoction of the leaves in water, -is useful in Jaundice, difficulty of breathing, Gonorrhoea, and hectic -fever. As a gargle it strengthens the gums; and the leaves bruised, -and taken in honey or water, cure Epistaxis, Hoematemesis, Nausea, -Vertigo, and Suppression of the menses. - -36 Arjun.--A tree, also the fruit; hot and astringent; useful in -bilious affections, and in prostration of strength from fatigue, and an -antidote to poisons. Its use is interdicted in disorders arising from -cold; also in ulcers: but externally applied it cleanseth foul sores, -and promotes healthy granulation. It prolongs Aphrodisia, strengthens -the system, and expedites the union of divided parts. Some physicians -call it cooling. Pentaptera Arjuna. - -37 Arloo, Catoombura, or Sheunag,.--The name of a tree, a native -of the hills; it is pungent, beneficial in loosening phlegm, and -promoting appetite; it produces costiveness, and is vermifuge, and -recommended in Juzam. It is an ingredient in the Dusmool. - -38 Arvie, or Arum Colocasia,.--A root and seed. It is about 3 inches -long, more or less, and when the outer rind is removed it is white. Its -stem is about 3 feet in height; its leaves large like a shield, -with the points reflected; in consistence and polish it is like -the plaintain leaf. It is also called Cutchaloo, but the different -names are only applied with propriety to different parts of the same -root; the Cutchaloo being more like a Byngun or Egg-plant. They are -both in general use in India. The Arvie is dressed with meat, and -the Cutchaloo is roasted; the leaves and shoots are also commonly -eaten. Its properties, I can declare from experience, are in a small -degree cool; and it is useful in giving strength to the system; -prevents the involuntary emission of semen; it produces wind, and is -heavy and hurtful to the throat Its corrector is acids, and being -repeatedly washed in water. The Cutchaloo is the most powerful, -and the most hurtful of the two kinds. A. Culdass, at least it is -so stated; but in the Yunani works, there is a material difference; -as the Culdass is described, therefore, it is doubtful to me whether -they are one and the same. - -39 Armeede,.--A kind of cucumber. - -40 Aorde Gunta.--A kind of Satawur. - -41 Aistullkund.--The name of a root; also called Girmkund; also a -variety of the medicine Maankund: it promotes phlegm, and corrects -bile and wind; it is also useful in foulness of the blood and general -swellings.

When thin and dry, it resembles the Shkkul -mysrie, (carrot;) its leaves are very like those of the kuth, (Mimosa -catechu,) but rather less. It grows about a yard along the ground; its -taste is astringent and bitter; it is hot, and strengthens the powers -of virility; removes bilious and mucous affections; is beneficial in -general swellings, and white leprosy. - -Some give this name to the Kaknej, or Winter Cherry. In the -Maadentezerrubad, it is thus described. Asgund is a medicine of -Hindoostan; the best sort of which is procurable at Nagour. It is hot -and dry in the 1st degree. The people of India use in its stead, the -Soorinjan, (the Hermodactylus.) It is especially beneficial in pains of -the joints. The root, when arrived at perfection, has a strong scent of -the horse; from which circumstance it has in India, derived its name; -Asp, signifying the horse, and Gund, smell: it is also called Bajecund. - -If 3 drachms of the root be boiled in 2 pounds of cow's milk, and 1 -ounce of sugar mixed with it, and this taken for 14 days, it increases -peculiar secretions, and improves the complexion. - -44 Asphill.--Padmunie, a variety of Kunwul.

This is an excellent drink in fevers, in bilious -affections, and foulness of the blood; it increases appetite, and -clears, and gives tone to the kidnies and bladder. - -49 Apheem.--(Papaver somniferum.) Of this there are four kinds; -the 1st, which is white, is called Chaarun, (promoting digestion;) -the 2d, Maarun, is black; the 3d yellow, and the 4th, of all these -colours mixed, called Saarun. Its properties are well known, and -fully detailed in all Yunani works on medicine. - -50 Aginmunt.--Agwunt. Names of Arnee; q. vide. - -51 Agust.--(schynomene Grandiflora.)

Kakla. "Amomum Cardamomum, Wild. Amomum Repens, -Wood, vol. II. p. 356." It is of two kinds, and very common. The -tree is very large, its leaves resemble those of the sugar cane, of -the length of a man; it is very fragrant, and both kinds are nearly -alike in properties. The physicians of India call it moderately cool, -aromatic, and bitter; and that it is useful in bilious affections, -rheumatic complaints, and superabundance of mucus; it is likewise -said to decrease Aphrodisia, and to be prejudicial in affections of -the chest The large kind possesses all these properties in a greater -degree than the small; "the latter is called the Guzerattee Alaechee." - -60 Alta.--A name for the Lac colour. - -61 Amulbedh.--Called also Amulbenth, a very acid fruit of India; -the tree much resembles the lime tree, but is rather larger. It is so -very acid, that it will, in a few minutes, dissolve a needle, or small -shell. It is light and aperient; improves decayed appetite; is cardiac; -removes visceral obstructions, and increases all the secretions. I -have been accustomed to take out part of the pulp of the fruit, -and to fill the empty space with such medicines as assist digestion, -and correct disorders of the digestive organs, in a pounded state, -and allowing the fruit, thus medicated, to dry, and using it under -the title of Amulbedh. It is brought in quantities from Jeynugger, -and Ruttunboil. A spurious sort of this is made from the large lemon, -and sold in its stead. I have found it useful in promoting digestion, -giving relief in rheumatism, and as an aperient (Amul means acid.) - -62 Amulchangerie.--An acid fruit, from a plant of India, called -Changerie, much resembling the In-ubassaleb, (Nightshade,) and grows -about 8 inches high, or more, and is about as much expanded.

The fruit resembles a -bean-pod, bent in the centre, and usually less than 8 inches in length; -it bends so as to assume the figure of a semi-circle, but often not so -much. The Author of the Book Tophut-ul-Momeneen, describes the tree as -resembling the Pomegranate tree; but I suspect he had never seen it. It -is acid and heavy, removes flatulence, but increases bile and blood. - -When ripe, it is laxative, promotes appetite, and is beneficial -in oppression after meals. It is dry, light, cardiac, and restores -prostration of strength from fatigue. It removes nausea, giddiness, -thirst, and general heat. Sherbet prepared from it, should it agree -with the stomach, is preferable to any other, and prevents the noxious -influence of the hot winds on the system. The kind which is red, ought -to be chosen for preserves, and it possesses all the properties of -the fresh fruit. The flowers of the tamarind eat with meat, increase -its flavor; they also prevent accumulation of bile, are aperient, -and increase appetite; but they are improper when acidity prevails -in the stomach. - -64 Amrutphull.--A name given to the sweet lime. Vide Rajeneemb. - -65 Ambarae.--A fruit, the produce of the hills, large and acid. - -66 Amarbele.--A name for Afteemoon (Dodder Thyme.) - -67 Amroude.--(Guava.) An Indian fruit resembling the pear.

On the top of the stem there is a bunch -of leaves growing from the top of the fruit, which if broken off, -and planted, is reproductive. It bears fruit only once, and only one -fruit at a time. I have not seen its properties noticed in any work, -but the people of India call it cooling. It was first described by -Abul Fuzul, in the Ayen Akberry; and this was afterwards copied by the -Author of the Dhara Shekoih, from which others have copied it. Part -of this description I have copied, and from my own observation have -added the remainder. In my opinion it is hot in a small degree, and -moist in the 2d degree. Its use is grateful to the system, and it gives -strength to the intellectual powers, also tone to the stomach. It is -injurious to the throat, to the solids, to respiration, and to the -intestines; but its corrector is sugar, and if it be sliced, put in -rose water to which sugar is added, and allowed to stand for some time, -its beneficial properties are increased, while its injurious qualities -are prevented or corrected. A preserve made from it, is excellent, and -is used with stews and Pilau, as giving them great additional relish. - -72 Ambeloona.--A fruit of Hindoostan, acid and astringent, cool and -producing costiveness, beneficial in mucus and bile; also in carbuncle, -and other tumors and affections of the throat. - -73 Ambegool or Angool, or Ambegooda; called also Inderain Soorkh.

The fruit of the plant is sweet and cool, -heavy and purgative, useful in affections from wind, bile, and -disorders of the blood; it removes general heat, and is beneficial in -Marasmus. It decreases the seminal secretion, increases mucus, and -strengthens the system. Nourdi Mahommed says, that in the epidemic -carbuncle which affects the armpit or throat, this fruit is given -with more success than any other medicine; and that one fruit given -internally, and another applied to the part, will cure the disease, -should there be any stamina remaining in the system. He also says, -that if ten pounds of this fruit be steeped for a week in Anula -water, taken out and dried, put into a mill, and the oil expressed, -and this oil introduced into the nose for 8 days successively, white -hair will become black. He writes much more respecting its virtues; -but as I have had no experience of them, and cannot vouch for the -effect, I forbear to transcribe them. - -74 Inderain.--"Cucumis Colocynthus. Wild Gourd. Bitter cucumber. It is -said by Thunberg to be rendered so perfectly mild, by being pickled, -as to be used as food at the Cape of Good Hope." The fruit of a plant -like the small melon, and very bitter; the plant too resembles that -of the melon, and in Persian it is called the bitter melon. There -are two kinds of this, one I have already described under the head -of the preceding article.

The fruit contains a number of seeds, rather longer -than those of the melon, and resembling a bird's tongue. The pulp -of the fruit is of a yellowish white, but the seeds are red. Its -properties are bitter, pungent, cool, and astringent. It cures -flatulence, bile, and fever, is vermifuge, and is useful in piles, -and beneficial in that kind of carbuncle the matter of which is -infectious: there are two kinds of this, a bitter and a sweet sort: -of these, the bitter is to be preferred.

When the seminal secretion is too -thin, this is given with success; the older kind is preferred in -medicine. In the Tophutul Momeneen and other works, its virtues -are described. - -91 Padill.--Sometimes called Patill, and another kind denominated -Kashta Padill or Kut Padill. Of this also there is another kind, -but as the properties of all are the same, I have not particularly -distinguished them from each other. It is the flower of an Indian tree, -which in size is equal to the Mangoe or Jamin, its pod is 1 1/2 feet -long, and 4 fingers in breadth, formed of different layers, and lined -with a soft cottony substance.

The other kind called Pia Bansa has colored flowers. - -It increases wind, and clears the throat; it removes disorders of -bile, mucus, or blood, cough, difficulty of breathing, nausea, fever, -seminal weakness, juzam, and marasmus. A tooth-brush made of its wood, -materially strengthens the gums and teeth, and of this many have had -experience. It strengthens the system, darkens the color of the hair, -cures the itch, and is an antidote to poison. In its nature it is hot, -and is useful in eruptions of the skin and leprosy. - -In the Maadentezerrubad, that with the yellow flowers, is called -Pia Bansa, and the tree is said to be about a yard high, with long -leaves, hot, cool, and dry in an equal degree; a decoction of the -root is beneficial as a gargle in toothache, or with the addition of -the leaves, as a gargle in ptyalism. - -95 Baluka.--Cucumis Madraspatanus.

It is -pungent and aromatic, hot and dry in the 3d deg. light and cardiac, -creates appetite, and cures affections of bile and mucus; but is -prejudicial to the eyesight, and lessens the seminal secretion. - -In the Maadentezerrubad it is written, that Babchee is a seed about -the size of gram, or rather less, of a dark color, and aromatic flavor, -hot and dry in a small degree, cures wind, mucus, and Juzam; the itch -and other eruptions of the skin when discoloration or ulceration -takes place, and all complaints arising from foulness of blood. In -Acouta, or that scaly leprous eruption that is often met with, it -is very effectual, the part being first moistened with mustard oil, -and the powder of the seed sprinkled over its surface. - -"Tried in Lepra without effect, both in substance and in infusion, -in 1818.--Translator." - -103 Paperie.--A name for Shumshad, cool, and brightens the complexion, -and is useful in mucous and bilious complaints. - -104 Babur.--Called by some Nagbo, and also Badrouje. - -105 Barasinga.--Cervus Elaphus. Called so from its many branched horns; -it is about the size of a small cow, and is also called Thunkur -or Eal. Its meat is sweet to the taste, and heavy; it increases -Aphrodisia, cures wind, bile, and mucus. The horns rubbed down in -water, and applied externally, cure rheumatic and other pains. - -106 Parba.--Cervus Porcinus. Very common in the upper parts of India; -its properties I have never seen noticed in any Indian publication. I -have met with a description of another kind of deer, Cheetul, and in -my opinion they are nearly alike in their properties; the flesh of -both easy of digestion, quickly increasing the volume of blood and -bulk of the solids; it is without fibres, hot and somewhat dry. - -107 Bander.--Monkey. The flesh is beneficial in flatulencies, -difficulty of breathing, and Jaundice, and is vermifuge; in P. Bozeena. - -108 Baag.--In P. Sher. The Tiger. Its flesh is hot, and cures -affections from wind, and complaints of the eyes. Its milk, mixed -with Soorma, is an excellent application in that disease of the eye -called Mootiabin. My grandfather experienced its good effects in his -own case in the cure of this disease. - -109 Palug.--A much esteemed kind of culinary vegetable -(Spinnach.) A. Isphanach: cool and heavy, laxative, producing wind -and mucus, as also swelling of the abdomen. It is beneficial in -difficulty of breathing, and eruptions from bile. Some say that it -produces intoxication in a small degree, but this I have not found -to be the case. - -110 Paan.--Aromatic, bitter, astringent, hot, and aperient. ("Piper -Betel, Lin. Warm juice, febrifuge; given in indigestion in children, -and combined with musk in Hysteria.") It creates appetite and agreeable -sensations; it also increases semen, and is aphrodisiac. It cures -disorders of wind, mucus, and of the blood; corrects vitiated breath, -preserves the gums, clears the blood, is useful in prostration of -strength from fatigue, and cures nervous head-aches. Its juice -is beneficial in giving tone to the stomach and heart, and it -promotes digestion. It corrects a cold temperament, cures cholicky -disorders, and pains of the bowels, and this I have repeatedly found -by experience. In my own opinion, and in the opinion of every Yunani -writer whom I have consulted, (with the exception of Shaik Boo Alli,) -it is hot; but the physicians of Hindoostan very generally agree -with the Shaik. Those of a hot temperament, who use much of this -plant, are subject to eruptions of the mouth, and fissures in the -tongue. Its correctors are almonds and the kernel of the cocoa-nut, -but the former is to be preferred, and the addition of the almond -increases its effects on the mental powers. - -The distilled water of Paan, as described below, is recommended -for correcting a melancholic temperament, strengthening the stomach -and circulation, removing spasms in the stomach, creating appetite, -correcting flatulence, and loosening phlegm. - -Take flowers of Bugloss 5 scruples, rose leaves 6 drachms, cloves -13 scruples, Paan 4 ounces, distilled water of Bugloss two pounds, -rose water 6 pounds: distil, and give as a dose from one to four -drachms. Another: take of cinnamon 13 scruples, Indian Spikenard and -Galangal, each 14 1/2 scruples; Bugloss, Soad Kufah, and dried mint, -each 19 scruples; rose leaves and cloves each 24 scruples; anise seed -(Nancha), and another kind called Rajiana, and sweet-scented flag -of Toorkistan, each 19 scruples; Paan 50 leaves or more, good rose -water 15 pounds: distil. The dose to be regulated by the temperament -of the patient. - -Another: take of Indian leaf (Tezpat), 1/2 a pound; cloves, Indian -Spikenard, and anise seed (Nancha), each 4 ounces, good Paan 200 -leaves; bruise all the ingredients, and let them remain in infusion -for 24 hours in 20 pounds of water, then draw off by distillation 14 -pounds: the dose will be from 8 to 10 scruples given after meals. - -Another: take of cloves, Oodghoorkee, each 13 scruples; reduce both to -a coarse powder; flowers of Bugloss, raspings of white Sandal wood, -each 5 1/2 scruples; Bugloss, rose leaves and Indian leaf, each 4 -ounces; white Paan 100 leaves, rose water 8 pounds, distilled anise -seed water 4 pounds; infuse 24 hours in the heated liquids, and draw -off by distillation 8 pounds. - -111 Pariss Peepul.--Called also Palass Peepul, (Hibiscus populneoides, -Roxb.) - -112 Para, or Parud, (as it is called in Sanscrit,) Mercury. It -is hot, gives strength to the eyesight, is useful in Juzam, and is -vermifuge. A. Zeebuck. P. Seemab. It is very generally used throughout -India, in many ways, both in its native and prepared state; but in -the latter we ought to be very cautious, for it is seldom sufficiently -killed, or removed from its native state, in which it is a dangerous -drug. One grain or two grains, or even a little more, is taken for -a dose, and in some cases with success. Cups are also made of it, -from which milk is drank; they possess this virtue, that a greater -quantity of milk may be taken in this way than in any other. It is -said, that if a little Mercury be tied up in a cloth, and boiled in -milk, that the milk will have an aphrodisiac property. Should any one -have taken live Mercury, and the result be, that he is attacked with -Juzam, or other leprous affection, let him take the whole of an Indigo -plant, and cutting it in small pieces, let it be boiled in a large -quantity of water; then straining it, drink a cupful of the water -very frequently, till all is taken, and till then eat no food. All -the Mercury will in the course of the day be evacuated per urethra, -and if the whole does not make its escape the first day, the treatment -must be repeated. If the urine be received into a brass vessel, or -any other with a polished surface, the Mercury will be detected; many -people having been in this predicament, have followed this advice, -and found the result to be as I have stated it. - -In a state of calcination, if it is mixed with strong vinegar, or lime -juice, and afterwards dried, if no live Mercury appears it is good; -otherwise it is dangerous. Others have said, that if mixed and rubbed -with the juice of the radish leaf, till they are incorporated, and -then a little lime juice poured over it, and again rubbed and dried, -it will be fit for use; and the less live Mercury that is perceptible, -the less dangerous it is. - -To make cups and balls of Mercury, triturate the Mercury well with -pounded bricks, in an iron pot, moistening the mixture with water; -wash the whole in water, and strain through a moderately fine cloth, -till the Mercury becomes perfectly clear like a looking glass. Take -equal parts of this purified quicksilver, rock salt, and sulphate of -copper, and put them into an iron pot, with strong vinegar or lime -juice, and let the whole be well triturated for 7 or 8 hours, when the -compound will appear like butter; wash this well in water, that the -salt and sulphate be carried off, and the Mercury left behind; take -this Mercury and coat over the outside of an unburnt earthen vessel -or cup, till it shall be well covered and appear like Mercury; place -this in a dish filled with lime juice, and let it remain for a week, -then take it out and place it in the sun to dry and harden; when quite -hard, it may be used in this way, or it may be filled with water and -kept so, till the clay becomes soft enough to be separated from the -quicksilver. Milk drank from this cup will have an aphrodisiac quality, -and will increase appetite. For the formation of this cup, 9 or 10 -tolahs of quicksilver will be requisite, and for the balls one tolah. - -The Balls.--When the ingredients above-mentioned have, from long -trituration, acquired the consistence of butter, balls may be formed of -the composition in a fine cloth, and allowed to remain for 7 days in -lime juice; then take them out and throw them into a boiling decoction -of the Dhatura leaves, allowing it to be well boiled. The balls are -then to be taken out of the cloth and preserved for use. - -In the Maadentezerrubad it is said, that if a small parcel of Mercury -be boiled in soup, made from the Bis-Copra, it will become hard. - -113 Baboona, or Marehtee: Anthemis Chamomile; a common flower, Akhgwan. - -114 Bans.--A. Russub. P. Ney. Its leaves like those of the Joowar, -when they are young; it is cool and a little astringent, beneficial in -dysuria, gonorrha, piles, in stomach complaints, bilious disorders, -and those of the blood, in cholicky pains from flatulence. Some say, -that it increases the secretion of bile. A preserve is made from -the young shoots which is much esteemed, and is useful in promoting -appetite and giving tone to the stomach, correcting an increased -secretion of bile or phlegm. The young shoots are first cut into small -pieces, and steeped in salt and water; then dried, and afterwards put -into the vinegar or other acid, in which it is to be preserved. The -root of the bamboo in equal parts, with Judwr (Zedoary), and Suronjan -(Hermodactylis), applied externally, I have found very effectual -in removing pains from the joints. The oil expressed from the fresh -joints of the plants, is also very beneficial in pains of the joints -and other rheumatic affections. Mention is made of this oil in the -Hajul Umeer and Ejale naf, works written by me. - -The joints of the bamboo are very useful as a diuretic, and they also -are effectual in producing abortion, and made into a decoction with -Cassia fistula, are recommended for recorrecting and stopping the -discharge after such an occurrence. - -115 Badgan Khutay.--No account having been given of this in any of -the Yunani works, it is left for me to give a description of it. It -is a seed of a dark red color, the capsule resembles the stone of -the tamarind, but is more thin and pointed, and a little open; it is -used as an infusion with tea; it is hot, strengthens the stomach; is -discutient, removes flatulence, and the tea corrects any bad effects -that it may possess. - -116 Baremoo.--A name for Dookoo. - -117 Barehie.--A name for Zedoary. - -118 Patirr.--The Wagtail, called in Yunani, Suffraghoon. - -119 Parjath, or Parbhudder, (Bombax heptaphyllum.)

A. Birnuk Caboolie. - -122 Badjera.--Holcus Spicatum. A common grain; in my opinion hot and -dry; it strengthens the system and loins; is aphrodisiac, and corrects -acidity in the stomach, but produces flatulence. - -123 Papeyha.--Papeya, Carica Papeya, W. A native of South America, now -common all over India; milky juice of the unripe fruit, vermifuge; -dose,--two table spoonfuls in warm milk, afterwards a dose of -castor-oil. - -124 Papieha.--A common green bird; the poets of Hindoostan keep -numbers of them, and have an idea that the noise they make at night, -in the rainy season, produces inspiration. Its flesh is useful in -affection from wind and mucus, and is alone sufficient to remove -disorders from bile. - -125 Papeitha.--"Papita nux, Nux Vomica Serapionis, Faba Indica, or -Faba Sancti Ignatii, St. Ignatius's Bean, Catalougay, belongs to a -genus called Ignatia Amara. The above description applies especially -to the Papeitha, but not to the Nux Vomica, (Cuchila,) which is a -Strychnos, this is not." - -This is a medicine of foreigners, and it is said, that it has been in -use for the last century; there is no account of it in any books of -Hindoostan, or in the Yunani works; but in this part of the country -it is in general use. I have partly taken the present description -from the books of foreigners, and partly it is the result of my own -experience. In foreign language, it is called Papita. It is a nut, -round, more or less so, each weighing about a pice; it is depressed -in the centre, and of a brown color, some darker than others. Its -properties are said to be various. If one of the nuts be strung on a -thread and retained about the person, it is a security against sorcery, -and the attempted mischief will recoil on the sorcerer. Should any -one be poisoned and this be administered, the poison will thereby be -rendered innocent. - -Whoever shall keep this constantly about his person, nor noxious wind -nor evil eye will affect him. - -If one retti or two retti weight of this be rubbed down in water and -taken, it will cure pains in the stomach and cholicks. - -It is very beneficial in the disorder called Elaous, also in paralytic -affections. - -In faintings and convulsions, if the teeth are forced open, and a -little given internally, also the part of the forehead called peshanie -scarified, and rubbed with a little of the medicine, the senses will -be restored. - -In bites of snakes or the sting of any noxious reptile or insect, -it is highly beneficial. - -The powder of the seed is styptic, and when applied over a wound in -sufficient quantity to form a cake and bound up, it will stop any -discharge of blood. - -In intermittent fever, if about 4 barley-corns in bulk be given -before the cold fit, it will render it much less severe, or remove -it altogether. - -In labor, if the pains are not sufficiently effectual, 4 barley-corns -of this given, will expedite delivery; but if by mistake it be given -after delivery, it will cause a protrusion of the bowels. - -In all laxities of the bowels it is useful. If a seed be allowed to -remain in the mouth, it will promote the discharge of mucus which -may oppress the chest, and will relieve acidity in the stomach. - -If the nut be cut into slices and fried in sweet oil, the oil will -form an excellent application to chancres, venereal or other cuticular -eruptions. - -Should any one have swallowed poison and become senseless, this oil -forced into the throat, if swallowed, will save the patient. - -This oil will also have the effect of restoring sensation to parts -deprived of it, if rubbed externally. - -In suppression of the menses, 7 or 8 barley-corns in bulk administered, -will give relief. - -Should a tendon be cut through from a wound, filling the division -with the powder, will promote adhesion. - -A tincture of it in spirits, in the strength of 25 nuts to half a -pound of spirit, allowed to remain 15 days in the sun, is aphrodisiac, -in the quantity of 16 liquid grains every night. - -I have found this medicine given to the quantity of half a drachm, -more or less, mixed up into a bolus with rose-water, very beneficial -in excessive vomiting. - -Once my father and I were proceeding on a journey, it happened, -that some of our people had ate in the morning, of the food prepared -the night before, which being stale, produced incessant and violent -vomiting; their sufferings were great, and the color of their bodies -completely changed. My father having no other medicine with him, except -this, gave it to them mixed with rose-water, in various proportions, -with great success. - -In unremitting vomiting, it ought to be given twice, when it will -assuredly be successful. - -126 Babool, vide Keekur. Acacia Arabica, W. - -127 Papotun.--A plant, about a yard high; its seed is like that of the -nightshade, at first green, and when ripe, red; in appearance like -the Goonchee, covered with a very thin capsule. The leaves heated -and applied to swellings are discutient, and the root pounded and -mixed with water, applied to the carbuncle or introduced on a seton, -will effect a cure in a few days. - -128 Paethaon.--Called also Culsi or Breshtpirnie. A medicine of India; -sweet, hot, light, and aphrodisiac; remedies laxities of the bowels -and abrasions of the intestines. It decreases general heat, allays -thirst, and is useful in affections of wind, mucus, bile, nausea, -and fever. In the Dhinteri, it is said to be pungent, and beneficial -in asthma, phlegm, and dropsy. - -129 Patole, vide Pulwul. - -130 Patera, usually called Patla, a name of Birdee, a reed, growing -in marshy places, used for making mats. It grows about a man's height, -sometimes higher, and about the thickness of one's finger. Its ashes -are peculiarly drying, and in quality dry and moist; if sprinkled -over a sore, they quickly dry it up; if mixed with vinegar, dried, -pounded, and applied to a carbuncle, it will cure it. They are also -useful in Ukula and Nufsoodum. - -131 Patung.--A large tree, a native of the hills; its leaves are -like that of the almond, and its flowers yellow. The fruit round, -and of a dirty green color when young, becoming red as it ripens, -and sweet to the taste. - -Physicians of Yunan have described it as hot, useful in -bilious affections, mucus, and blood; also in boils and -eruptions. A. Bukkum. The wood is used by dyers. In the Topha it is -written, that in the quantity of 15 masha it is a deadly poison. Its -powder is excellent as an application to wounds and ulcers. A bath -formed of a decoction of the wood, clears the surface of the body, -and gives strength to the bones. - -132 Putrudj.--A very common leaf, in length from three to five inches, -and in breadth two inches; of a green color, and pleasant smell; it -is strongly marked by veins, and is brought from the hills.

A plant about a yard -high, or even less; its leaves are small like the mint, soft and -serrated; when the plant is old, it becomes a little larger, but the -leaves remain the same. It is used in India as a culinary vegetable, -and ate with or without meat; the leaves are sweetish when young; -it delights to grow near water, and is found both in the wild and -cultivated state, but the wild is considered the best; it is light -and laxative, strengthens the system, is useful in affections of the -spleen, eruptions from diffusion of bile, piles, worms, ascarides in -the rectum, and corrects all natural secretions except blood. A. Kutf. - -136 Butela.--A kind of Pea: see Muttur. - -137 Butaer.--The Quail, Perdix Olivacea, (Buch.) Its flesh is cool, -and promotes appetite; is beneficial in fever, and corrects the three -principal secretions. Some have said, that this is a name for Tihoo; -it resembles the partridge, but is only about half the size. In my -opinion, it is cool and hot in equal degrees; it forms a desirable -food for the sick, or emaciated; it strengthens the stomach, and -produces costiveness. - -138 Batees.--A name for Atees, already described. - -139 Pytha.--The gall-bladder of any animal. Bile is hot and dry, but -no general account can be given of its properties, as almost that of -every animal differs from another. If goat's bile be used, it will -relieve an affection of the liver, and if it be mixed with camphor -and butter, and introduced into the ear, it will cure tooth-ache, -or rubbed into the abdomen of a child below the navel, it will prove -laxative. Cow's bile, if introduced into the ear, will cure pain -arising from wind, mucus or bile. - -140 Putalphoorie.--The name of a grass, which grows in rocky places, -from which it has either derived its name or from its property of -dissolving the stone in the urinary or gall-bladder. It is a very -small plant; its leaves, like those of the Lobeia (a small bean), -when chewed are found to be very mucilaginous. It is a powerful -medicine in dysuria, and is beneficial in dissolving stones in -the urinary or gall-bladder. Of this I have several times had proof -within my own observation; and I have given it to the extent of 5 or 6 -mashas in these disorders, combined with sugar, or with other diuretic -medicines, or sherbets, or even in plain water; a substitute for this -may sometimes be found in Gokroo, in cucumber seeds, or some such -cooling medicine. A distilled water from it is in use. In one case -where I used the Putalphoorie, I found, that while fresh and green, -it was not so beneficial, and induced costiveness; but when dried -and given, it was much more effectual and less prejudicial. - -141 Puturjenie.--A name for Lichmuna and Lichmunie. - -142 Butchudder.--A species of the Catechu tree; hot and astringent, -beneficial in Aphtha, tooth-ache, blood, itch, poisons, and phlegm. - -143 Budjaesaar.--The name of a tree; the best sort is called -Bidjaesaar; it is beneficial in Juzam, ptyalism, white leprosy, -seminal weakness, ascarides in the rectum, disorders of bile and -blood, cleansing the fluids, strengthening the roots of the hair, -and it is well known as an ingredient in many formul. - -144 Bitchoo, (Scorpion.).--A.

Sweet-scented flag, Acorus -Odorant, F. Kalamus Nurtzil, G. Calamo Aromatica, J. Acoro Calamo, -S. Wedj. A. Agrtoorki. P. One kind of this is white; both kinds are -bitter, pungent, hot and stomachic: loosens mucus from the throat, -cures itch, mucous disorders, epilepsy, idiotism, the influence of evil -spirits. In the Maadentezerrabad it is written, that the Indians have -a belief, that if the butch be taken, cut in small pieces, and put -into an earthen pot, with ghee sufficient to cover it about an inch, -that is one part of the butch and two of ghee, and this pot placed -in Jow for 40 days, and 15 mashas of this taken daily, it will cure -paralysis and loss of memory, and all complaints arising from cold. - -147 Budgerkund.--Called also Soorun, q. vide. - -148 Beechnak.--The name of a poison; vide Singia. - -149 Bedareekund.--A kind of Baraikund.

The -Dara Shekoi has not noticed this medicine, and for my information I am -indebted to works of Hindoostan. As far as I can judge, it increases -the tone of the stomach, raises the spirits; but taken in quantities, -it is difficult of digestion and produces flatulence. It is acid, -and therefore remedies bile, but it increases cough. The kernel -is astringent. - -152 Bedhara.--A medicine of India, brought from the hills; it -is a light wood about the thickness of liquorice root; bitter and -astringent, hot and aperient. It is aphrodisiac; useful in disorders -of wind, phlegm, and blood; also in swellings of the body, seminal -weakness, and forms an ingredient in many approved formul. - -153 Pudmeinie.--(The Winter Lilly.)

In the Maadentezerrabad it is called Reesha in Persian. If -the milk is applied to swellings or boils, it will effect a cure -by resolution; or if applied to the eye, will remove specks on the -cornea. If a tooth be at all loose, the milk applied to it will cause -it to fall out without pain, but care must be taken that it be not -applied to the sound tooth. If the bark of the tree be put into the -pan in which fish is fried, it will soften the bones. The young shoots -of the hanging roots and the bark, are cool, dry, and astringent; the -milk is hot and powerful; the fruit less so. If the above-mentioned -young shoots be bruised and put into a cloth, and heated over the -fire, it forms an excellent and affectual application to lumbago or -other rheumatic affections. The fruit, ate with milk and sugar, is -mentioned as aphrodisiac, and increasing certain secretions. The young -shoots of the pendent roots and leaves, and the bark are astringent, -and useful in diarrhoea. The leaf-buds are also recommended for the -same complaint, dressed with meat or otherwise. - -158 Birnaan or Burna.--A tree of Adjmere; the wood of which is used -for making beads, which from their beauty are sent to different places -as presents.

All these roots are -sweet, cool, dry, and flatulent; also aperient. They give tone to the -urinary bladder, remove eruptions (the consequence of suffused bile), -increase semen, phlegm, and wind; they strengthen the solids, are slow -of digestion, and increase the secretion of milk. Pindaloo is somewhat -bitter and hot, heavy, mucilaginous, and diuretic. Mudwall increases -bile, and is bitter; but it is beneficial in mucous disorders. - -163 Barumbie or Soonputtie.--Sweet, cool, aperient, light; increases -the powers of perception and memory, clears the voice, cures Juzam, -jaundice, seminal weakness, foulness of the blood, and cough; -is an antidote to poisons, beneficial in swelling of the body, -in bilious affections, and is a common ingredient in all useful -formul.

Kuthai; some say, that both kinds of Kuthai are called Berehti; -but it is not so, the small kind only goes by that name.

It is hot -and astringent, strengthens the animal spirits; is stomachic, and a -pleasant addition to the flavor of food.

It is a very common tree in India; it is -bitter, astringent, and a little sweetish, hot, and moist; when ripe it -is heavy, producing phlegm, bile, and wind, causing heat of stomach, -and is difficult of digestion.

The Maadentezerrubad thus describes it: taar is a tree like -the date tree; its leaves about a yard long; the kernel of the fruit -is often sold for the sea cocoanut. The juice of this tree is the -taarie, so well known; it is equally hot and cold, and moist in the -2nd degree. It is aphrodisiac and diuretic, induces corpulency, and if -taken to excess produces intoxication and head-ache. If fresh drawn, -it is sweet and less intoxicating; but allowed to remain for a night, -it becomes acid, and then it is very inebriating. The fresh taarie -improves the complexion, moistens the brain; is beneficial in hectic -fever, in difficulty of breathing, in depression of the spirits, -and is aperient. If allowed to remain long, it becomes sour, smells -very strong; is heating, and causes vomiting and indigestion. - -In the Lyzuttoor rejal, it is thus mentioned: taarrie is an -intoxicating produce of the taar tree, very common to the eastward. The -tree resembles the date tree, but its leaves are different: when fresh, -the taarie is hot and moist, induces corpulency; is aphrodisiac, -diuretic, and when it has acquired a strong smell, is intoxicating, -and in that state, it is very heating, and produces indigestion, -with heaviness of the brain. The sherbet of the pomegranate allays -vomiting brought on by its use. Its succedaneum is a decoction of -dates called Sendhi. - -284 Taalesputter.--A name of Talesphir; of this there are many -and various accounts, some call it the leaf of the wild olive, -zeatoon, and others call it the bark of the Lissaan nulaej safeer, -or Biss'bassa.

Miss. The physicians of India use it in a calcined form, -and speak much in its favour. If it be properly prepared, it will -be soluble in water. In my opinion, if it does not produce heat -in the blood, nausea, pains in the bones, and joints, giddiness, -and confusion of ideas, it will be fortunate, and will be a sign, -that it has been well prepared; and should it stand both these tests, -it may be used with comparative safety. - -286 Taberuck.--A tree, the produce of Arabia; its fruit and flower -resembling the rose; during digestion it is bitter and hot; removes -bile, and blisters, and seminal debility. - -287 Tubasheer, or Tubakeer, names of Bunslochun. - -288 Tuputtee or Typsie, a trefoil grass. - -289 Tatyrie, in P. called Teetoo; a bird, the meat of which produces -wind.

It is said in the Dara Shekoi, -that it was first sown in India during the reign of Akber, or in -the year of the Hidjera 1014, when it was imported from Europe, and -sown by his order; now it is every where common, and is generally -smoked. In the opinion of Hukeem Alli Gheelanee, it is hot and dry; -its smoke from its heating quality confuses the ideas, and reduces -the strength; from its discutient property, it weakens the brain, -and depresses the spirits. Those who are of a cold, moist temperament, -may derive benefit from its use, but those who are of equal temperament -cannot use it with impunity. It is useful in piles the consequence of -cold, also in waterbrash, and complaints of this nature; it promotes -digestion and dissipates flatulent pains. It increases the strength -of vision when it is weakened by the effects of cold, but adds to it -when it has been caused by heat. In difficulty of breathing or pain -in the chest, proceeding from an accumulation of viscid phlegm, it is -very useful. It is prejudicial in thin spare habits; it shuts all the -passages, decreases the power of the absorbents, and consequently -prevents the absorption of chyle, thereby weakening the system, -and drying up and emaciating the body. It produces hectic fever in -the aged, and many other disorders in which medicine is useless. Its -corrector, according to the author of the Dara Shekoi, is milk; and -he gives this wise reason for it, that cloth stained with the smoke -of tabacco can only be cleaned with milk. It is used in many ways, -chewed, snuffed, smoked, &c. but is least prejudicial when smoked, -after being mixed up with goor and preserves. I have by experience -found it effectual in wind of the stomach, in pains produced by -flatulence, and in the waterbrash; but have found it prejudicial -to those labouring under depression of spirits, or who are subject -to heartburns. - -The dried plant brought from Surat is more drying than any other, -and ought to be washed in rose-water or Bedemushk before use. - -It is used by the Pytans as snuff: as a cephalic it strengthens -the brain, and prevents the effects of indigestion on that organ, -but it should not be used when people have weak eyes from heat. The -author of the Ulfaz Udwiyeh says, that he had a friend who was blind, -and that meeting him afterwards quite recovered, he was surprised to -learn that his cure had been effected by his having smoked equal parts -of tobacco and Sumhaloo; the women eat the Surat tobacco with pawn: -and it increases digestion, and is discutient. It is beneficial in -those temperaments which are cold and moist, and its juice is used -for drying the vagina. - -312 Tamaal.--The Serroe tree.

The proportion of both are the same; it is -refrigerant and detergent; strong, hot, and useful in mucus and wind, -cough, and asthma.

The whole properties of this medicine -are only known to Indian physicians, and from experience, I know it -to be a powerful promoter of digestion if taken about an hour after -meals with a little water only; it is called also Tunkunkar. - -320 Tawakeer.--A medicine of India, useful in gonorrhoea and dysuria -ardens. - -321 Tombrir, also Tombie.--A bitter cuddoo.

If the seed be taken -when the moon is in the wane, bruised, and for 21 days, steeped in -the juice of ginger, its oil extracted and preserved in a bottle, -it will be found that this oil, when a year old, rubbed over the body -in weakly habits will renovate strength, and it is also said that it -will consolidate mercury. - -322 Turai.--"Cucumis Acutangulus, Roxb.

In the opinion -of the people of India, it removes costiveness, cures affections of -the spleen and spasms of the stomach, and evacuates the bowels and -Fetuek; if its leaves are boiled in water or Dhaie with a little -salt, strained and drank with a little cow's ghee, it will cure all -disorders of wind and vitiated bile, and relax the bowels.

In my opinion it is cool and moist, and -stomachic, but the one without the stone, named Bdna, is more so -than the other kinds. - -The juice of the fruit is to be preferred as a stomachic, and is more -grateful to the taste. It is best prepared by being sprinkled with -salt, and shaken in a dish, which deprives it of its great astringency -and corrects its hurtful qualities. - -There is a kind of jamun of the color of dry grass, of a yellowish -white color, smaller than those described, of a pleasant smell.

It is in my opinion -cool, cardiac, drying; allays heat and thirst, and prevents the ill -effects of wind, loosens phlegm and bile, strengthens the stomach; -is very grateful when ate with sugar; and its acid is less hurtful -than many others. I have known a man of a bilious temperament, who -told me that he always found relief from the use of this orange. The -emperor was in the habit of eating it in Pilaus, when sweetened with -sugar and rose-water, and thus used, he called it Rahut Jahn. It -is thus rendered more cooling and more grateful to the taste. He -also ate it when cooled in ice, and found it useful in giving tone -to the stomach. The people of India use it with their food. If ate -after having been sprinkled with a little salt, its acid will have -less effect on the teeth, mouth, and throat; this however, can only -be necessary when unripe or not of the best kind.

Toorabalhalik. There are six kinds of -this, one named Sunkia, the third Godunta, the fourth Darma, the fifth -Huldia; but each will be noticed under its own proper head. The Yunani -physicians do not allow this to form a part of their prescriptions, -as they believe it destroys the vital principle; and such medicines as -are deleterious in their effects, such as opium, they always exhibit -with correctors, for this reason such remedies are seldom noticed or -used by them. The physicians of India, on the contrary, find these -drugs more effectual in many disorders than others of less power, -and such the calx of metals. For this reason too, I am in the habit -of seldom giving these remedies internally, but I usually confine -my use of them to external application, and as aphrodisiacs, which -I prescribe to a few friends, who may have derived no benefit from -Yunani prescriptions. It is better, however, to use as few of them -as possible.

It increases bile; -and is hurtful in disorders of blood; it is also injurious to the -throat. Its correctors are fresh dhaie, and being parboiled in water -and the water changed. It may also be corrected by being boiled with -tamarind or anula leaves.

It is cool and aphrodisiac; induces corpulence; -is astringent, and cures boils and eruptions, Juzam, and disorders -of the blood and bile: some call its gum Moocherus, the author of -the Topha for instance; but Moocherus is the gum or flower of the -Phoopul tree. In the opinion of the physicians of India, the Sembill -is a powerful medicine as an aphrodisiac. If the juice of the root -be made into sherbet with equal part of sugar, it will increase age -by restoring the vital energy, increase understanding and semen; -the larger and older the tree, and the thicker the root, the greater -its strength as a medicine. The small roots are cut into slices, -dried on a rope, and sold; in this state, it resembles Bhamun Soorkh. - -Ascetics have said, that the perpendicular root of a large full -grown Sembill tree, cut in pieces, dried and reduced to a powder -is powerfully aphrodisiac, in the quantity of 4 direms daily. I -have taken this powder to the quantity of one tolah with sugar, and -have also prescribed it with advantage; it strengthens the stomach, -and is gently laxative. If given with honey, I conceive that its -virtues will be increased. The author of the celebrated work Ahmed -Ben Shirazee has told the following story, which I shall relate as -nearly as may be in his own words. "I was," says he, "on a journey, -when coming to a village in India, and being very thirsty, I met an -old man from whom I requested water to drink; I observed that this old -man had a peculiarly healthy appearance, and seemed plump and stout; -he had a young woman with him, whom he sent to his house for water, -and who brought it me to drink. I then asked him whether that young -girl was his daughter; he laughing answered that she was his wife, -and that he had three others equally young. I was somewhat surprised -at this, and asked him if this was not too many for him; he replied -no! More and more astonished, I asked him if this was really the case; -he avowed it to be so. I then questioned him how he came to be endowed -with so much strength, and how old he was; he told me that his age -was 110 years, and related the following facts: That when 50 years' -old he had already become aged and feeble, and was so much decayed in -constitution, that he seldom rose from his bed, and when he did so, -was obliged to support himself on a crutch. That a fakeer passing that -way observed his feeble state, and feeling compassion for his helpless -situation, asked him what ailed him: he replied, nothing; but that old -age had come upon him. The fakeer then gave him a medicine which he -had taken ever since, with an injunction to abstain from all acids: -this he had done, and that the effect was such as I saw. He likewise -told me that he had a son nearly 80 years of age, who had also used -the fakeer's prescription, and who was much stouter and more healthy -in every respect than he. - -"Astonished at this relation, I procured the receipt, and thus hand -it down to posterity. - -"Take the white roots of a full grown, healthy Sembill tree, which -is soft; cut them in pieces, dry them in the shade, and reduce them -to a powder: sift it very fine, with equal parts of sugar, and over -the fire, form it into an electuary: of this 5 direms are to be eaten -daily, and no acid to be used. - -"To this the old man swore, and brought his son and introduced him to -me to prove the truth of his story. The son corroborated the assertion -of his father, and added that he had ate the remedy only two years, -when he became as he then was; certain it is, he had not a grey hair -in his head." - -622 Semb.--also Sme.

If half a masha of the oil of this be ate with Paan in the -cold weather, it will produce a genial warmth over the body; it will -also remove affections from cold, and be found aphrodisiac. The oil -is thus procured: - -The plant is moistened with water, and then rubbed between the -hands with any sweet-scented oil, but not too much; it is then to -be extracted in the same manner as that of Agur is procured. If a -chittack of the following oil be eaten daily for 40 days, and during -this time abstaining from intercourse with woman, it will be found -that the aphrodisiac power will have become so great, that it will -seem wonderful. It is thus prepared: - -Take the leaves, root, and all parts of the plant; bruise them, -sprinkling a little water over them; then squeeze out 20 seers of the -juice, and add to it five seers of sweet oil; boil the whole till the -juice shall have evaporated, and the residue is the oil.

Its juice is vermifuge. If three masha of the leaf buds -with half masha of black peepul be eaten for 21 days, it will remove -disorders and foulness of blood; increase the strength of vision, and -by its juice being introduced into the eyes, will cure night-blindness. - -I have given it for cleansing the blood, correcting vitiated bile, -scabies, idiotism, and all disorders arising from disordered bile, -thus: By mixing the distilled water, above-mentioned, with filings of -Sissoo, the leaves, flowers, and bark of the Bucaen, and Shatirra, and -Surphonka, white Sandal, filed, and Gowzeban, mixed well, and a water -distilled.

Thus, we do not -necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper -edition. - -Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search -facility: www.gutenberg.org - -This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, -including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary -Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to -subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. - diff --git a/old/old/53755-8.zip b/old/old/53755-8.zip Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index fac5a58..0000000 --- a/old/old/53755-8.zip +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/old/TaleefShereef-no-Urdu.htm b/old/old/TaleefShereef-no-Urdu.htm deleted file mode 100644 index fab6d69..0000000 --- a/old/old/TaleefShereef-no-Urdu.htm +++ /dev/null @@ -1,11656 +0,0 @@ -<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" -"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> -<!-- This HTML file has been automatically generated from an XML source on 2016-12-17T21:08:41Z. --> -<html lang="en"> -<head> -<meta name="generator" content= -"HTML Tidy for Windows (vers 25 March 2009), see www.w3.org"> -<title>The Taleef Shereef, Or Indian Materia Medica</title> -<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;

In this I may have acted wrong, but I did so from the -conviction, that by this method, the names would be more familiar, and -better understood, by the Natives in researches after the different -drugs. <span class="pagenum">[<a id="xd24e165" href="#xd24e165" name= -"xd24e165">iv</a>]</span></p> -<p class="par">I have inserted as many of the systematic names as I -could trace, both from Dr. Fleming’s work, and those of others; -but I regret, that I was not honored in the acquaintance of any -Botanist who could have assisted me with more.</p> -<p class="par">To the youth of the profession, I trust the work may be -acceptable, by leading them to the knowledge, that such medicines are -in existence; and my medical brethren of the higher grades may not deem -further inquiry into the properties of native drugs beneath their -notice.</p> -<p class="par">To the profession at large, then, I beg leave to -dedicate this Translation, with the hope, that they will make due -allowance for all faults, and that some of the more experienced will -favor us with another and better edition.</p> -<p class="par">To my respected friends Messrs.

The leaves are -astringent, and promote digestion; their ashes styptic.</p> -<p class="par">The young flowers are cool and drying; have a pleasant -aromatic scent, and when taken internally, are cooling and astringent; -recommended for the cure of chronic Gonorrhœa or Gleet, purulent -expectoration, bilious foulness of the blood and boils. The young -unripe fruit has much acidity, and is drying; moderately used, it -increases all the animal secretions, and is beneficial in chronic -affections of the liver; it promotes appetite, and is lithonthriptic. -The fruit, when ripe, is sweet, cooling, <a id="xd24e369" name= -"xd24e369"></a>mucilaginous and heavy, tending to allay thirst, and -useful in nervous affections; strengthens the system, restores impaired -appetite, (is said to moderate an increased secretion of bile,) and -improves the complexion. The fruit is of various sizes, from a few -drachms to a <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb2" href="#pb2" name= -"pb2">2</a>]</span>pound weight; but it is usually met with weighing -about 4 ounces. It becomes acid about a month after the fall of the -flower, in which state it is used as preserves, such as jellies, -pickles, &c.; at this time, too, it is used as seasoning for -<i>Pilaus</i>, and other dishes; for when the stone or kernel has -become hard, it is no longer fit for these purposes. When the fruit has -attained its full growth, and when nearly ripe, it is to be taken from -the tree, and put into dry grass, straw, or the leaves of the Palass -tree, and there allowed to become ripe; this process deprives it of all -acidity, and also prevents the formation of a resinous gum, which it -contracts when allowed to ripen on the tree, and which renders it too -pungent to be eaten with relish.</p> -<p class="par">The fruit is in perfection in the hot winds, and when -the rains commence, it ripens very fast; before the cold weather it is -usually out of season.</p> -<p class="par">There are some trees that blossom the whole year, and -some few that even produce fruit; but instances of this are very -rare.</p> -<p class="par">There is a variety of this tree on which the fruit is -sweet from its first formation; this requires to be used early, -otherwise it will in all probability become a prey to insects.</p> -<p class="par">Some trees produce fruit only once in 4 years. In -general, it produces fruit in abundance every second year, and less in -the alternate year; some are even perfectly barren every alternate -year.</p> -<p class="par">There is a mode of manuring this tree, which it is said -improves the flavour of the fruit greatly; this is mixing the juice of -its fruit with milk, and pouring it over the roots. It is also said to -be possible to communicate the flavor of any particular fruit to the -mangoe, by its expressed juice being made use of, as an application to -the roots of the tree.</p> -<p class="par">The kernel of the mangoe, roasted, is pleasant to the -taste, and grateful to the stomach; it is much recommended in laxities -of the bowels, and strengthens the <i>primæ viæ</i>; water -drank after having eat of this kernel, seems to possess a flavor -peculiarly excellent. The usual mode of preparing them, is to allow -them to remain exposed to the rains, till the shell shall have become -decayed; by this process it is deprived of any heating or irritating -property. <span class="corr" id="xd24e392" title= -"Source: Perpared">Prepared</span> in this manner, and kept a short -time in lime juice, taken out, <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb3" href= -"#pb3" name="pb3">3</a>]</span>bruised and mixed with salt, fennel, -&c, it is much extolled for strengthening the stomach, and -promoting digestion.</p> -<p class="par">If preserved for 3 years, pounded, and swallowed to the -quantity of a tolah, with a little water, no medicine is preferable for -strengthening bowels habitually lax.</p> -<p class="par">In the acid state, the fruit is very prejudicial to -those who have any disorders in their teeth, a cough, an affection of -the chest, or who are subject to cholicky pain in the bowels, but very -beneficial when used in irritable habits. The best method of using them -is this. The acid unripe fruit, after the outer rind has been -<span class="corr" id="xd24e401" title= -"Corrected by author from: pealed">peeled</span> off, is to be cut into -thin slices, and infused for some hours in water; this water so -impregnated, is to be drained off, mixed with a sufficient proportion -of sugar, and used as sherbet. It produces a great relish for food, and -is in other respects beneficial. The same effects are produced by the -unripe fruit, being roasted and allowed to remain in water, as above -mentioned. It is recommended in paralysis, from <i>coup de vent</i>. -Many physicians have considered the mangoe to be of a cooling nature, -but, in my opinion, it is heating in all its stages. The Yunani -physicians have stated the ripe fruit to be hot in the 2d, and dry in -the 3d degree.</p> -<p class="par">Its virtues may be described in a few words. It -strengthens the system, gives tone to the kidnies<a id="xd24e411" name= -"xd24e411"></a>, restores impaired appetite, &c. It is aperient, -improves the complexion, beneficial in piles, an useful deobstruent, -braces and increases the bulk of the solids, and removes nervous -affections. In some of these disorders I am inclined to doubt of its -good effects, but such virtues are attributed to it. It is recommended, -in order to prevent any bad effects from the fruit in its unripe state, -that raisins be <span class="corr" id="xd24e413" title= -"Source: eat">eaten</span> with it. Hukeem Alwee Khan, a man of -eminence in his profession in the reign of Mahommed Shah, says, that if -ever this fruit disagreed with the system, it must have been eaten when -unripe or green.</p> -<p class="par">I had occasion to attend a gentleman of very high rank, -who laboured under dropsy; I cured him of the disease, but 3 years -afterwards, having <span class="corr" id="xd24e418" title= -"Source: eat">eaten</span> a large quantity of mangoes, the disease -returned, and I have observed the same effects in other cases.</p> -<p class="par">Hukeem Alli Mughphoor, physician, states, that -influenced by the resemblance of the mangoe to the human kidney, he -concluded <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb4" href="#pb4" name= -"pb4">4</a>]</span>that it must be beneficial in that organ, (disorders -of;) he therefore prescribed it in a case of hectic fever, arising from -diseased kidney, and completely cured the disease. In this I differ -from him entirely; he must have mistaken the nature of the complaint, -for a remedy given expressly for the cure of a disease in the kidney, -could <i>not</i>, at the same time, have removed the fever, excepting -appropriate medicines had been administered along with it!!</p> -<p class="par">The best mangoes are those having a thin juice, sweet -and free from fibres; and they ought to be cooled in water or in ice, -especially during the hot weather. It is preferable to use the juice of -the fruit without eating any of the fibrous parts; a neglect of this -may produce various disorders, such as indigestion, cholicky pains, -&c. It is very common to eat the expressed juice, mixed with sugar -and other things, with rice, or with bread, but this is great -imprudence; for in the most healthy subjects it may produce nausea, and -general uneasiness.</p> -<p class="par">Should any ill effects follow the use of the mangoe, -milk, or the kernel of the fruit, will be found a corrector. My -father’s opinion is, that these are not the only remedies; for if -it produces any heating effect, curdled milk will give relief, or even -cold water, or acidulated sherbet, and he himself was always in the -habit of using the <i>Phalsa</i> sherbet on these occasions.</p> -<p class="par">Should cholic be produced, the Oil of Almonds or other -sweet oils, will remove the complaint; and a diarrhœa is to be -cured by the use of the kernel; and a swelling of the abdomen, by milk, -in which a little ginger has been mixed; or even ginger by itself will -have the effect</p> -<p class="par">A substitute for mangoe, as a medicine, may be had in -Chobe Cheenee.</p> -<p class="par">In general, it will be adviseable to abstain from the -use of the mangoe, till 2 or 3 showers of rain have fallen; but those -of a cold phlegmatic or melancholic temperament do not require to be so -particular.</p> -<p class="par">Those for whose complaints mangoes have been -recommended, have in a few months derived great benefit from their use, -by eating them with camel’s milk. There are many kinds of this -fruit, and their names are as various; but the stronger the scent, the -<span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb5" href="#pb5" name= -"pb5">5</a>]</span>more effectual they are as a medicine.

If half a masha of the oil of this be ate with -<i>Paan</i> in the cold weather, it will produce a genial warmth over -the body; it will also remove affections from cold, and be found -aphrodisiac. The oil is thus procured:</p> -<p class="par">The plant is moistened with water, and then rubbed -between the hands with any sweet-scented oil, but not too much; it is -then to be extracted in the same manner as that of <i>Agur</i> is -procured. If a chittack of the following oil be eaten daily for 40 -days, and during this time abstaining from intercourse with woman, it -will be found that the aphrodisiac power will have become so great, -that it will seem wonderful. It is thus prepared:</p> -<p class="par">Take the leaves, root, and all parts of the plant; -bruise them, sprinkling a little water over them; then squeeze out 20 -seers of the juice, and add to it five seers of sweet oil; boil the -whole till the juice shall have evaporated, and the residue is the oil. -Some use the medicine in this manner.
