2 never having tried ; yet, I recommend the juice of the pods as
3 deserving of the attention of those physicians who have the

5 Acac. Farn. folia semina (I.)
6 Acacle ver.e succus — is a product of Arabia, and imported
7 into India as formerly into Europe. Probably the speculative
8 spirit of dishonest Druggists, led them, instead of the real drug,
9 to substitute inspissated sloe-juice, which (failing to produce the
10 anticipated effect) caused the disuse in European practice — like

27 criptions. Genuine French and English Vinegars are to be met
28 with ; but, by far the greater portion of those sold in the
29 shops, ready bottled and with European labels, is manufactured
30 in Delhi, and other parts of Hindostan, from the sugar-cane.
31 The natives of Lahore make Vinegar from the raw-sugar, adul-
32 terated with different drugs, as alum, &c. On the adulteration of
33 Vinegar with sulphuric acid in England, see Art. Cuprum.
