The Indigenous Drugs of India Kanny Loll Dey

"The Indigenous Drugs of India" is a rigorous compilation of materials which were, at the time, commonly sold in a medical (and occasionally other useful) form in bazaars in India and areas surrounding the same. For a work dating to the 1860s it is well crafted and comprehensive. Many entries are botanical, a few chemical or mineral; in all cases the entry contains the local terminology as well as applicable Latin or English terms. Datura, honey, cannabis, niter, and arsenic are among the over one hundred entries here.
