Take one tolah of yellow arsenic, wash it seven times in milk, then
grind it for 24 hours, adding as it dries, a little milk, then let
it dry a little, and make it up into small pills. Then take half
seer of the Bhurr Tree (the bark), pound it, and put it in a vessel,
and among the powder put the pills with a little Chunam (lime), above
and below them; after this, shut the vessel so well up that no smoke
can escape, put it on the fire, and keep it in a strong heat for six
hours; then opening the vessel, pour in over the pills a little ghee
(butter), to cool them. The dose will be one soorkh daily, for seven
days, abstaining from any thing salt.
Another method.
Take half a tolah of Hurtaal Tubki, bruise it, and grind it with
milk or the juice of the castor; form it into pills as above. Then
take of Dharafilfil half a tolah, bruise, and use it in lieu of the
chunam above alluded to; form the pile of 15 pieces of cow-dung in a
hole dug in the ground, on these lay the pills, supported and covered
with the Dharafilfil; over them place an equal number of pieces of
cow-dung, and set fire to the whole. When it is cold, take out the
pills, and preserve them for use. Dose half Soorkh.
Another method.
Take of the Hurtaal half a direm, bruise and grind it with the juice

an earthern vessel well luted, then surround it with 10 pounds of
dried cow-dung, set it on fire, and when cool, remove them. The dose

Another method.
Take of Hurtaal half a direm, tie it up in a cloth, and let it remain
for seven days in cow's urine, again for the like period in lime juice,
and an equal number of days in milk of Mudar. The two first liquids
are during the seven days to be twice changed, the last changed daily;
then take out the Hurtaal, and grind it with milk of Mudar for six
hours, form them into pills, and roast them as recommended in the
two foregoing methods. The dose the same.
Another method.
Take of Hurtaal one direm, the kernel of the Kurinjua one direm,
Alum one direm; first bruise the Kurinjua and strew the half of it
over an earthern vessel, with equal parts of Shibyem·nie; then put
over it the Hurtaal, and above that the alum; above all these, put
the remainder of the Kurinjua; secure the whole as in the last method,
and roast with 14 pounds of the dried cow-dung.
