285 Tanbirr.--"Copper." It is sweet, cool, light, and aperient:
cures disorders of bile and phlegm; useful in marasmus, Juzam, piles,
asthma, swellings, cough, and ague. It is caustic, and in A. is called
Nowhass. P. 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.

resembling the rose; during digestion it is bitter and hot; removes

the rectum; it is very heavy; but when ripe, is light and astringent,
and is useful in weakness of the digestive organs, and cures disorders
of phlegm and wind. A. Simaak.
291 Tudje.--Laurus Cassie? Some say that this is Kirfa, and others
Syleekha; also called Keelkheela; it is in Indian works described as
cool and pungent; it cures disorders of phlegm, and more especially
dissipates collections of it in the small intestines; clears the

juice is excellent in wounds and ulcers; it is diuretic and aperient;
produces frequent inclination to aphrodisia, and causes blindness. Its
corrector is K·ou (Lettuce), or Kasni (Endive), or Koorfa, or Till. It
increases the secretion of semen, and thickens its consistence. It
