The river fish is the best, and most powerful as an aphrodisiac, and tonic. The tank fish are cool, heavy, moist, and aphrodisiac, also diuretic. Well fish are aphrodisiac and diuretic, increase mucus, cause disorders of the bowels and Juzam, and are flatulent. The fish of jheels, or large pieces of water, have the same properties as the tank fish; and those of small pools or puddles are sweet, moist, tonic, and useful, and cure disorders of wind. Salt-water fish produce bile in a slight degree, and are heavy. All fish induce costiveness and decrease the strength of the eyes, and the clearer the water, the more beneficial and more powerful are the properties of the fish. It will be prudent not to use well fish in cold weather. One kind of fish is very small, and named Pothee, q. v.
