14 G o j a Kiidta i —A Bokharian Hakim presented me with
15 a hard, pitch-like plaster (on a small piece "of red Jnien), which he
16 pretended had been prepared in China, and which was capable
17 of removing every kind of pain, simply by application One
18 and the same plaster serves for several cases. The form is
19 square, three or four inches in diameter; each of them boars a
20 Chinese seal. According to the assertion of tlie llakim, its
21 ' constituent parts arc sweet oil and litharge; the latter, as an
22 impalpable powder, is added to the former, when they tire hoik d
23 mid stirred incessantly, without the addition of any liquid (as
24 additional liquid would form the well-known ph.st.er of litharge,
25 called diachiton) until the mass becomes bunted black, and
26 ns thick as. a plaster; it must be spread while warm on
27 die small pieces of linen, and so preserved. The Bokharian
28 doctor pretended that every pain, without exception, must yield
29 to its application. It should hi applied, us near - as possible
30 to the affected part; for instances in headache, it ought to be
31 applied on both temples, or, on the forehead; in earache, behind
32 the '-ars; in carious toothache, a small pieee should be put into
33 the hollow of the tooth. It acts ns a rubefacient, without
34 blistering.
