inducing costiveness; tonic; increases appetite; beneficial in jaundice and
Juzam; also in acne, cracks in the skin, nausea, fevers, and bilious disorders.
It forms an ingredient in all favorite formulæ. It has been said to be cold. In
my opinion it is either, according as it is prescribed with other medicines. I
have given it in continued fever, in the quantity of one direm, cut small and
infused in water for a night, with great success. The Hindoos give a
decoction of it in fevers. I have given it in various ways in gonorrhœa, as a
tonic, an aphrodisiac, &c. Take of Bunslochun and Sut Gillo, each one
masha, mix and give in intermittents, or with cardamoms. My father used it
in pills made up with conserve of roses, with great efficacy, in fevers of the
continued kind; also with the whey of Kasni. Its powder is likewise used
with tin in gonorrhœa, but I have written more of this in my other works. To
make refined or Sut Gillo—

wind and diarrhœa. It is likewise given in eruptions of the mouth. The stem
of the flower and root are cool and dry; aphrodisiac, astringent, and cure
disorders of bile, blood, and general heat. The flowers are of two kinds: one

leaves when he disappears; this is white, with a red tinge, six-leaved, the
yellow centre fructification, in the shape of an inverted cone. Its seed is
sweet and cool; clears the complexion; of use in disorders of mucus, bile,
blood, thirst, general heat, Juzam, and blisters. It is an antidote to poisons,
and beneficial in acne of all kinds.
The other kind has four leaves, of a white color, opens to the moon, and
accompanies her, in progress, as the other does the sun; but does not shut on
her disappearance. The red and blue kinds, if they have any degree of
whiteness, are called Komode or Komoodutti; these names are in allusion to
their property of flowering by the moon’s influence, but they are more
seldom met with. The blue is called also Neeloofir.
756 Goolkhairoo گلخيرو.—The marsh-mallow, or rather the mallow.

of mucus. A little kept in the mouth will cure paralysis of the tongue; it
clears the voice, and in the quantity of one direm with cow’s milk taken,

three-cornered; they are of an acid sweetness, and produced in the cold
season, and make delicious sherbet; cool, astringent; useful in bile and

stagnation of bile, and is useful in cough and asthma.
768Goond كوند.—“Jasminum grandiflorum?” The wild Raibile; the
flower cool and light; used in disorders of bile and mucus, and in head-
aches; an antidote to poisons, and communicates its perfume to any article
from which oil is to be extracted, and gives the oil the quality of
strengthening the brain, and of being useful in affections from cold. In my
opinion, the flower is hot, as is also oil impregnated with its odour. If it is
mixed or rubbed with oil, and used as an unguent in itch, it is equally
effectual as the Chumbeley.

strengthens the stomach; used in the cure of Juzam, boils, eruptions,

opinion, it is cool and moist, aperient; weakens the stomach, promotes
absorption by increasing the tone of the absorbents, and expedites digestion.
774Kungni كنگنى.—P. Kawurs, Sheerazee Kaal. Cool and bitter, dry and
astringent, yet diuretic; but if boiled in milk, its drying quality will be
corrected. It is very generally used as food. It increases the viscidity of
mucus, and promotes a disposition to gravel. Its corrector is sugar. It is
hurtful to the lungs; but here its corrector is Mustaghi. In its general
properties, it comes near the Cheena; externally applied hot, it removes
rheumatic pains. “Panicum Italicum.”
775Gundheel گندهيل.—A. Azkhir, and some kinds called Mirchiakund.
This is a common plant, about a yard high; its flowers sweet-scented: the

780Gunduk گندک.—“Live Sulphur.” In digestion it is bitter and hot, also
soft; beneficial in Juzam, affections of the spleen, disorders of mucus and
wind, and increases bile. It is an ingredient in many favorite prescriptions.
A. Ribreet. Its aruk is excellent as an application in itch, and as a tonic is
pungently acid and hurtful to the teeth; indeed so very acid is it, that it
dissolves shells, and is called Tezab; but though acid, it is aphrodisiac.
To make Tezab (Sulphuric Acid).
Take a China cup, and make in it three holes, to suspend it (by a wire of
zinc); place a lamp on a low triangle (tripod), and fill the lamp with sulphur;
and making several wicks, mix them with the sulphur, and set fire to them;
place the China cup under the tripod, and the aruk will come over into it by
drops. Care must be taken to admit no wind; when this is lighted the smoke
destroys cloth. I have written of the properties of this more at large in my
other works.
The properties of Sulphuric Acid.
It is hot, creates appetite, expels wind, strengthens the stomach, loins, and
back. It is aphrodisiac, useful in disorders of mucus and blood, in paralysis,
convulsions, and pains in the stomach, and discusses enlargement of the
spleen, if taken to the quantity of from one to four soorkhs in water. It will
cure tooth-ache if applied to the hollow of the tooth, but care must be taken
that it does not come in contact with a sound tooth. It cures all kinds of
Psora, whether dry or moist, applied by itself or in ointment. Taken
internally with oil of roses, it loosens phlegm; applied to the white spots of
leprosy, it will remove them. If nutmegs, cinnamon, and cloves be
moistened with it, and dried, they will become powerful condiments.

and larger, the leaves large and small accordingly. It has a small yellow
flower; inside the seed vessel are many divisions, in which the seeds are
contained. It is very useful in piles.
A man had the bleeding piles to an annoying degree of severity. A physician
advised him to eat some of the leaves of this, bruised, and made up with
pepper into pills; he made up large pills or balls, and eat them as directed,
and was cured in a few days. If the fresh leaves are used, they should be
mixed with water and drank; if the dried leaves are preferred, they should
be made into pills. It is mucilaginous and demulcent.

is also red. All three are cool, light, and aphrodisiac; useful in disorders of
the three secretions and of blood. It is cardiac, astringent, and improves the
complexion. I have found the white the most effectual, and have often used
its conserve and distilled water in lowness of spirits.

insects; it is said that if eaten without being opened, it will be found
beneficial for the eyes. It is called cool and dry; some say hot and moist: but
in my opinion it is cool and moist, and decreases bile. My father prescribed

physicians of India have described it as astringent; it is slow of digestion.
The bark of the tree is useful in ulcers, and as an external application in
severe bruises. Water drank after its use, produces pain in the bowels. The

twice as large as a melon. When unripe, it is cooling, and useful in bilious
disorders and wind; it increases mucus. When ripe, it is sweet and pungent;
it is equal in its properties; light; creates appetite; assists digestion; useful in

its leaves, and branches, are sweet; beneficial in disorders of wind and

of the solids. Cucurbita Pepo.
Its sherbet is useful in all the disorders above mentioned, also in depression
of spirits from heat, in mania or disordered imagination; increases appetite
and evacuates bile.
The sherbet is thus prepared:
A piece is cut off from the end of the fruit, and the inside scooped out till
the hand can be admitted; this is to be filled with fine sugar, taking care to
preserve all the juice. The divided piece is then to be re-applied, the
division secured with moistened flour; it is then placed in the sun, during
the hot season, for four days, or in the cold weather for a week. It by this
process becomes acid like oxymel; the juice is then taken out, strained, and
seasoned with cardamums, saffron, musk, and cloves, or other articles as
may be deemed proper, and preserved in bottles for use; the dose is four
tolahs, but it will not keep good beyond a week.

816Geerehti گيرهٹى.—A plant, about a yard high, or less; the largest
kind is named Geerehta, also Mahabela. Its leaves are larger, as well as the
tree, than the Geerehtee; but the latter is to be preferred as a medicine. It is
sweet, cool, moist, and astringent, useful in Soorkhbad, disorders of bile,
affections of the uterus, and clears the complexion.
817Kherie كهڑى.—An earth of a white color used in cleaning houses; one
kind of it is called Goorboghan.

very large tree, of a yellow color, about the size of a date, but thicker; both
kinds are cool and moist, heavy and tonic; useful in thirst, delirium,
heaviness of the head, and disorders of all the secretions. If the kernel is
bruised in water and applied to the eyes, it will remove opacities of the
cornea—this I know from my grand-father’s experience.
In my opinion, it is cardiac and stomachic, and gently astringent; when ripe
it is very generally useful. Some have called it hot in the second and dry in

have remarked, that when used in this country as food by the natives of
other countries, it produces a fermentation in the blood, and consequent

it is excellent in pains of the bowels. I have written more of its virtues in my
other works, and the prescription there mentioned is excellent in all
disorders from cold. The pulp of the leaf with alum and opium is excellent
in ophthalmia; its juice dropt into the eye.

it will greatly increase the growth of the hair; its leaves and branches thus
prepared have the same effect
If the Red Goongcha, having its bark peeled off, be coarse pounded to the
quantity of eight ounces, and boiled in eight pounds of cow’s milk, till only
three pounds remain, then coagulated, and its butter extracted; the butter
will reproduce hair on any parts which may have been deprived of it by
venereal or other disease, and the effect will take place by its continuance
for a fortnight. The white Goonchee, in the quantity of two direms, given
internally for three days, with sugar, to a woman, will render her barren.

strengthen the stomach. They are made of Kuth in this manner:
The Catechu is first mixed well with water, and the precipitate taken for

the vagina. If it be mixed with sweet oil, and boiled, and in this Zaftroomie
(pitch) be dissolved, and the mixture externally applied, it will increase the

is called in India Paak Tamba. If put in the mouth it has this effect, that the
