A medicine; one kind of which is red, the other purple; inside of a yellowish color; both woods are very thin, and both are pungent, bitter, dry, light, astringent, stomachic, and increase the powers of digestion.

It is cool, assists digestion; is astringent, and cures bilious disorders; also those of mucus and blood. It allays thirst, cures blisters and acne, general heat, dysuria, boils and eruptions; prolongs aphrodisia, and I have found it excellent as a cardiac and astringent. 438 Darhuld.--The wood of a tree called Huld. It is pungent and bitter; hot, dry, and useful in disorders of phlegm, bile, and blood, in acne, seminal weakness, swellings of the body, marasmus, boils, eruptions, in affections of the eye, pain in the ear; is lithontriptic, and cicatrizes wounds. In the Maadentezerrubad, is the following: Darhuld is a wood of a yellow color; if bruised with Malageer, mixed with honey, and taken, it will be found excellent in marasmus, and as an external application in the itch. 439 Datoon also Danth or Danti, names for Hubboos Salateen. In Hinduee Jamalgota. "Croton Tiglium, W. Jayap·la, S." It is bitter, pungent, and hot; promotes digestion; cures bilious affections, also foulness of the blood, disorders of mucus, swellings of the body, dropsy, and worms. It is violently purgative, and clears off the three secretions, but more especially mucus and black bile. It is not a safe medicine for weakly people, children, or the aged; but it is proper for those of strong constitutions, such as the Highlanders or country people, on whom weaker medicines have little effect. I have seen some of the hill people eat from 5 to 10 of the nuts without producing more than two or three motions, whereas the people of this city (Delhi) find half a nut as much as they can well bear. The small green substance in the centre or heart of the nut, ought to be thrown aside, as it is poisonous. I have given this medicine very often with great good effect, and it is a general favorite with the physicians of Hindostan. In cholicks attended with vomiting, I have prescribed it with good effect.
