1 Punk a Granatum, v. Granatum.
2 *Pyrethrum ( Anacyclus , Anthemis ) — vegetates on the Cash-
3 merean mountains -it may perhaps prove a new species? It
4 surely cannot be the Pellitory of Spain of which I give a litho-
5 graphic drawing. Its root cures salivation, by acting upon the
6 salivary glands; but, it produces salivation when administered
7 in a large dose.
8 The following E lixivium odontalgicum has been recom-
9 mended, and is recorded instantly to relieve toothache. “ Essence
10 of pellitory of Spain two parts ; camphorated ether two parts ;
11 liquid laudanum of Sydenham one part; when mixed, apply
12 some drops on white cotton.1'
13 Pyrethri radix (I.) Pain in the joints.
14 Pyrola ( Chimaphilla ) umbellata. — Wintergreen is not
15 known to the native doctors at Lahore. European physicians
16 administer this plant as a diuretic, in dropsy, gout, and urinary
17 diseases; as also in chronic pulmonary catarrh, ague, scrofula,
18 etc. It seems desirable to try the effect of this useful medicine
19 in small doses. I had not any to experiment upon.
20 Quassia amara — is not officinal with the natives of Lahore.
21 This bitter has been recommended in cholera morbus.
22 Quercus infectoria, v. Galla T.
23 * Quercus ( Robur ) & Q. incana & Q. Ballata — the acorns
24 are used by the Hakims, who probably receive them from
25 Persia. Acorns have lately been recommended under Palamud
26 (not Talamud) in chronic diarrhoea, especially in children, and
27 are much used in Turkey, where they are prepared in the follow-
28 ing manner— “ Peeled acorns are buried for three or four weeks
29 in the earth, bv which operation they lose their bitterness; they
30 are then freed from the adherent particles of earth, gently roasted,
31 and ground in handmills."
32 Quercus Surer, v. Suber.
33 QuiNiE sulphas, v. Chinice sulphas.
34 Rana esculenta — frogs are abundant at Lahore, in the
35 rainy season. The esculent kinds of them are recommended to
36 those who are subject to haemorrhoids. Sperma ranarum
