These are “mountain raisins,” that is, black, wrinkled berries like black chickpeas.

Nature.
Hot, dry to the third degree.

Actions and properties.
Burning, corrosive, sharp, caustic.

Cosmetics.
It kills lice, especially if used in a mixture with arsenic; in the form of an ointment it is useful for chronic “fox” disease.

Wounds and ulcers.
Mixed with arsenic or larkspur alone is applied to peeling jarab.

Organs of the head.
Larkspur is chewed and causes mucus and moisture to leak out of the brain. It is also boiled in vinegar and the mouth is rinsed with this decoction for toothache and damp gums. Livestock with honey cures malignant kula.

Nutritional organs.
Larkspur is given to drink in quantities of fifteen hubbs in water sweetened with honey, and this causes vomiting of viscous chyme.

Eruption organs.
It is dangerous to drink larkspur, as it ulcerates the bladder; if taken with corrective agents in moderation, it clears the bladder.
