be stayed only when there ceased to be a tree to feed the flame.

[1] The Indian rose-water is made principally from _Rosa damascena_ about
Ghazipur in the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh. It has no
medicinal value, but is used as a vehicle for other mixtures (Watt,
_Economic Dictionary_, VI, part i. 560 ff.).

[2] _Bibi Sahiba_. 'On the principle of the degradation of titles
which is general, this word in application to European ladies has been
superseded by the hybrid _Mem Sahib_ or Madam Sahib, though it
is often applied to European maid-servants or other Englishwomen of
that rank of life' (Yule, _Hobson-Jobson_[2], 78).

[3] It is one of the flowers which produce pollen catarrh. Pope's
suggestion that a man with a hypersensitive nervous system might 'die
of a rose in aromatic pain', is not an impossible contingency.

[4] Goulard water, named after Thomas Goulard, a French surgeon: a
solution of sub-acetate of lead, used as a lotion in cases of
inflammation (_New English Dictionary, s.v._).

[5] P. 235.

[6] Not in Platts' _Hindustani Dictionary_: probably _barhan_,
increasing.

[7] _Ritha_, the berry of the soap-nut tree, _Sapindus trifoliatus_
or _mukorossi_. (Watt, _Economic Dict_., vol. vi, part ii, 468.)

[8] _Nila tutiya_, copper sulphate: used as an emetic in cases
of poisoning, but not now recognized as a remedy for snake-bite.

[9] _Chichra, Achryanthes aspera_ (Watt, i. 81).

[10] _Arziz_.

[11] _Nim, Melia Azadirachta_. The belief that it is a prophylactic
against fever and cholera is held even by some Europeans
(Watt, v. 217).

[12] _Arand, Ricinus communis_.

[13] Alsi, _Linum usitatissimum._

[14] _Amaltas, Cassia fistula_. The pulp of the fruit and the root-bark
form the most useful domestic medicine, a simple purgative.

[15] _Myrtus communis_.

[16] _Punica Granatum_. The best varieties of the fruit come from
Afghanistan and Persia.

[17] _Phalsa, falsa, Grewia asiatica_.

[18] The shade of the tree is supposed to be unhealthy to men, animals,
and plants, as it is believed to be haunted by spirits, and it is
worshipped on a day known as 'Tamarind Eleventh'.

[19] See p. 194.

[20] Watt, however, writes: 'Tin is a highly important metal in dyeing as
practised in Europe, but in this respect is apparently unknown to the
