102. Cinnamon is a pleasant aromatic stimulant and carminative, closely allied in medical properties and uses to Cloves (105), for which it may be substituted when the latter are not available. It is an agreeable adjunct to many other medicines. 103. +Cloves.+ The dried unexpanded flower-buds of Caryophyllus aromaticus, _Linn._ Lóng (_Hind._, _Beng._), Lavang (_Duk._), Kirámbu, Ilavangap-pú (_Tam._), Lavango-pú, Lavangálu (_Tel._), Karámpu (_Mal._), Lavanga (_Can._, _Mah._), Lavang (_Guz._), Krábu-nati (_Cing._), Láúng (_Punj._), Raung (_Kash._), Leniah-poén, Lenang-poén (_Burm._), Bunga Chingkeh (_Malay_). 104. The Cloves met with in the bazaars are often old and worthless. Those suited for medical use should have a strong, fragrant odour, a bitter, spicy, pungent taste, and should emit a trace of oil when indented with the nail. 105. Cloves are a good useful stimulant and carminative, stronger than Cinnamon, which, however, may be advantageously substituted when the former are either of inferior quality or not procurable. A pleasant and serviceable mixture is made by infusing three drachms of bruised Cloves in a pint of boiling water, and straining when cold. Of this the dose is from one or two ounces in _Indigestion_, _Flatulence_, _Colic and Spasmodic Affections of the Bowels_. It sometimes succeeds in checking _Vomiting, especially that attendant on Pregnancy_. A mixture of equal parts of the infusions of Cloves and Chiretta (98) has often excellent effect in _Debility_, _Loss of Appetite_, and in _Convalescence after Fevers_. 106. +Cocculus Indicus.+ The fruits of Anamirta Cocculus, _W. et A._ Kákmárí-ke-bínj (_Hind._, _Duk._), Káká-mári (_Beng._), Kákkáy-kolli-varai, Pén-kottai (_Tam._), Káka-mári, Káki-champa (_Tel._), Karanta-kattin-káya, Pollak-káya (_Mal._), Kaka-mári-bíjá (_Can._), Tit-taval (_Cing._). 107. The dried fruit, sold in most bazaars, is rather larger than a full-sized pea, somewhat kidney-shaped, blackish-brown, wrinkled, containing a yellowish, oily, bitter, kidney-shaped kernel enclosed in a two-valved shell. It is _powerfully poisonous_ and is _never administered internally_; its sole use, and in this respect it is very effectual, is as an insecticide, _i.e._, as an agent, _for destroying pediculi, or lice_, which infest the body. For this purpose 80 grains of the seeds, divested of shell, should be beaten up into a paste in a mortar, and then thoroughly incorporated with an ounce of kokum butter, or ghee. In applying this ointment, care should be taken to avoid all abraded or ulcerated surfaces, on account of the danger of absorption of the poisonous principle of the seeds. 108. +Sulphate of Copper. Blue Stone.+
