2 Oleum animale (pethereum) Dippeli — is an exciting em-
3 pyreumatic oil, which stimulates the nervous system and the
4 circulation, provoking sweat and increasing the urinary dis-
5 charge. It has proved effective in nervous sciatica, and as a topic
6 in lupus; it must be kept in a well-closed phial, in a dark place.

8 Olibanum Indicum — is officinal at Lahore, and is used in
9 haemorrhages. See Terebinthina.
10 Oliban. lnd. (II.) Colic. Difficult deglutition. Gene-
11 ral pains. Pain in the groin.
12 Onosma macrocephalala. Onosma Bracheatum , Royle — is
13 officinal in Cashmere, and grows plentifully on the Himalayas ;
14 namely, on the Hindokoosh, near the P unjab-road via Peembur
15 to Cashmere. Flower-stem and root, are both of them efficacious
16 and useful medicines.
17 Onosm. macroceph. / lores (I.) Catarrhal sneezing.
18 Giddiness. Prurigo. Shifting articular pain.
19 Onosm. macroceph. radices (I.) Psoriasis tropicus.
20 Spinal pain.
21 Opium purum — is a product of the Punjab, and much used
22 by the natives. See Vol. I. p. 157. It has been recommended
23 in phrenitis, and typhus cerebro-spinalis.
24 Morphina , Morphia vel Morphium (III.) and its salts
25 are heroic medicines which must be used with the
26 utmost care. The case noted in this Vol. p. 55,
27 Morphina , under the head Opium , leads me to
28 suppose that a similar local application of this
29 medicine, may be advantageously resorted to in
30 nervous affections of the brain ; as in narcosis,
31 mania, syncope, etc. Morphia inoculation is said to
32 have cured obstinate sciatica, itching on the genitals
33 and other cutaneous diseases ; as well as hemicrania,
34 toothache, etc. In poisonings by opium, I consider
35 the cotton-seeds a good remedy ; the emulsion should
36 be given internally and the warmed cotton-oil rubbed
37 all over the body.
