Dropsy. I can get no authentic record of this being recognised. One informant calling it “Igalimoya” gives as a method of treatment used the injection and administration by the mouth of infusions of Utangazano (Cucumis Africanus) a wild cucumber, which is a hydrogogue cathartic. Piles. U-mzi. a. Charms are used to cause their disappearance, e.g., I-kubalo or lika Mlanjeni (Pelargonium pulverulentum) of which the leaves are chewed. These leaves were given to the warriors in the Kaffir Wars of 1850, as war medicine, by the great witch doctor Mlanjeni, to charm away the British bullets, and make the guns miss fire. Kaffirs were found, dead on the field, who had these leaves chewed in their mouths. b. Another method of treatment is to mash into a pulp the rootstalk of the Isi-kolokoto (Sansevieria thyrsiflora) and use the pulp locally and internally. Thread worms. Izlio. Tape worm. I-palo. Round worms. Intshulube. These are all grouped for treatment as worms and submitted to the same kind of treatment. As they are very common amongst the Kaffirs there is a very large variety of remedies. The following are a selection from many more. 1. Iyeza lentshulube (Hibiscus trionum.) 2. Isi-kolokoto (Sansevieria thyrsiflora), of which the root is used. 3. Ikalana (Aloe tenuior) one of the best of these drugs. It is cathartic as well as taenicide and non-poisonous in ordinary doses. For tape worm a decoction of the roots is taken on an empty stomach, after purgation. 4. Um-fincafincane (Leontis leonurus), the leaves and flowers are used in decoction or powder. 5. I-dolo lenkonyana (Rumex Eckloni) of which the roots are taken, boiled in sweet milk. 6. Um-muncwane (Oxalis Smithii). A handful of the dried bulbs is boiled in milk and the decoction drunk. 7. In-nyinga (Agremonia Capensis) a paste of the leaves with sour milk. 8. A decoction of a mixture of Um nukambeba (Myeris inequalis), of Um-nungumabele (Xanthoxylon Capense) and of Um-nquma (olive) is used. 9. Crushed pumpkin seeds are also used. About 30 seeds slightly roasted being the usual dose. Kidney Disease is unknown; but urinary troubles are treated. Thus for painful micturition and difficult as well as scanty or thick urine a decoction of the root of Um-tumana (Solanum Capense) may be tried. General Debility. Tonics are used by the igqira elemiciza thus: 1. I-tshongwe (Xysmalobium latifolium) of which the root is infused and the liquor which is exceedingly bitter, drunk. 2. Ubu-hlungu benyushu (Teucrium Africanum) a few grains of the dried bark being a dose. 3. In-dawa (Cyperus.) The knobs which grow on the roots, have a strong, bitter, pungent and aromatic flavour. These are used for this condition as also for colic. 4. Ubu-hlungu bedilia (Cluytia hirsuta) of which the leaves are chewed or taken in infusion.
