(Verses 117—119.) In the case of baldness or grey hair one should 
in the first place have frequent recourse to blood-letting; the applica¬ 
tion of emetics also is advantageous for the purification of the vitiated 
blood ; (118.) afterwards, when the stomach is clear, (suitable food) 
should be taken. Also different kinds of oil and hair-colouring sub¬ 
stances should be applied, (119.) and also drugs that cause the produc¬ 
tion and growth of hair. Frequent Avashings of the hair too are beneficial, 
because they remove Avhat is injurious to them. 
(Verse 120.) A Avise physician should administer clarified butter, 
mixed Avith SAveet, sour and salty substances, to a patient suffering from 
cough caused by derangement of the wind, either in his food or by itself, 
according to the state of his vital power. 
(Verses 121 and 122.) Wheat and rice may be eaten, with the 
broth of the flesh of water-animals, marsh-animals or domestic animals, 
and with treacle and onions and any other sour, oleaginous, pungent or 
sweet things 85 . (122.) Spirit of rice with cream, or warm water and 
syrup may be drunk at will, when one is suffering 1 from wind and cough, 
also plenty of oleaginous substances with treacle, or milk. 
(Verse 123.) An electuary prepared from ginger, Shadi ( Curcuma 
zedoaria ), raisins, Sriiigi ( [Rhus succedanea ), long pepper and Bhargi 
{filerodendron siphonanthus), mixed Avith. treacle and siueet oil, is beneficial 
to sufferers from cough caused by derangement of the wind. 86 
85 A similar direction occurs in the Charaka, p. 735 (bottom), and in the 
Chakradatta, p. 210, No. 1. The latter explains that by the gramya or domestic 
animals are meant such as the cock ( [kukkuta ), by the c Inupa or marsh animals, such 
as the hog ( sukara ), by the udaka or water-animals, such as the turtle ( kachchhapa ). 
This does not, however, seem to quite agree with the classification of the Susruta. 
That work (p. 198, transl., p. 259) divides the animals into 6 classes : jale-saya 
(water), &nilp a (marsh), gramya (domestic), Jcravya-bhuja (carnivorous), SJca-sapha 
(one-hoofed), jdhgala (wild). Of these the three first-named classes are those 
mentioned in our MS. The Susruta adds another division into only two classes : the 
jangala, including the four last-named of the above six classes, and the anilpa, 
comprising the two first-named. The jdhgala class of this second division is sub¬ 
divided into 8 sub-classes, among which there is a vishTcira (bird) and also a gramya 
sub-class. Here the cock ( kukkuta ) does not belong to the gramya , but to the 
i nshkira; but perhaps in the original classification into 8 classes, it would have been 
counted among the gramya. To the gramya , as a sub-class, belong only quadrupeds, 
such as the horse, cow, goat, sheep, etc. The dnupa class of the second division has 
5 sub-classes, among which there is a kula-chara (shore-walker) and a kosa-stha 
(sheath-clad) sub-class. To the former belongs the hog ( vardha or stikara), to the 
latter, the turtle ( kurma or kachchhapa). Herein the Chakradatta agrees with the 
Susruta. 
86 The identical formula occurs in the Yangasena, p. 260, verse 14, and is 
quoted in the Chakradatta, p. 210, No. 2, (Dutt’s Mat. Med., p. 140). Bnt in these 
works, the first half-line is differently arranged and runs as follows : Bhargi drdkshd
