Note 31. — Poisoning — A Hill camel avoids poisonous plants 

 carefully, but a plain camel often falls a victim to poisoning. 



A kind of Iris or lily of Quetta, Peshin, and Kardanai Valleys 

 proves fatal. In poisoning by it give in one dose when milk- 

 warm gur and red pepper of each half a pound boiled together 

 in a seer of wat^r.

Watt enumerates as poisonous^ or at least not wholesome to 

 camels, Acorus calamus (bachh), Calotropis gigantea et procera, 

 Cannabis sativa, Euphorbium neriifolia et Hoyleana eo Tirucalli, 

 Nerium odorum, Othonnopsis intermedia, Peganum Harmala,
