10 Hydrocyanicum, acidum, v. Acidum Borussicum — Prussic
11 acid is unknown to the Eastern doctors. Maharajah Sheer Sing
12 having heard of this poison, procured a phial from Agra, pro-
13 bably for the purpose of poisoning his minister, the Rajah
14 Dyhan Sing ; but, on his Majesty’s having been informed that I
15 was aware of his having received the poison, he pretended that
16 he had sent for it to try some experiments on dogs ; and handed
17 to me the phial, unopened. Very soon after, the enigma was
18 solved, by their mutual destruction — whence the country received
19 its grand, fatal blow. See Vol. I. p. 106.
20 Applications of diluted hydrocyanic acid have been recom-
21 mended very lately, in different forms of ophthalmia. Half a

23 ness. On the efficacy of this medicine in calculous diseases, see

26 *Hyoscyamus Niger — henbane I had growing in my garden at
27 Lahore, from seeds I planted. The seeds are officinal with the

30 this seed, called at Lahore U j w a i n Khorassanee, its
31 original habitat is Khor assart (in Persia). Hyoscyanms (alter-
32 nately) with Aconitum in Homoeopathic doses, is said to be a
33 good remedy in colic of horses.
