934 Mooser موسر.—Sweet, bitter, heavy; promotes appetite, cures piles and disorders of wind; increases semen, and is an ingredient in all tonic prescriptions. I fancy this is the Shukakool.
935 Moocherus موچيرس.—“Bombax Heptaphyllum. The tree.” The gum of the Sembill tree, also so named by the author of the Dhara Shekoi, but it is commonly understood to be the flower of the Soopearie tree. It is cool, heavy, and astringent; increases semen; restrains diarrhœa; increases the tone of the digestive organs; removes disorders of blood, bile, mucus, and general heat.

Moocherus is of two kinds, one according to some is the gum of the Sahajena, and by the account of others, that of the Sembill tree. It is red, heavy, and difficult of digestion. The other kind is the flower of the Soopearie; both kinds are cool, dry, astringent, and aphrodisiac; strengthen the back, kidnies, and loins; increase semen, and lengthen aphrodisia. Its corrector is sugar and cow’s ghee. The succedaneum is Kummarkuss.
936 Mohuk مہك also Bohuk; useful in disorders of mucus and wind, and slightly increases bile; some have said that this is the Mowa.
937 Mokhun مہكن.—The name of a tree, hot and astringent; useful in diseases of wind and mucus, in worms in the stomach, and pain therefrom, rheumatic pains in the joints and bones, and its gum is aphrodisiac; increases the bulk of the muscles, and of use in disorders of bile and wind.
938 Moong مونگ.—“Phaseolus Mungo.” And one kind, which grows wild. It is cool, dry, light, and astringent; used in disorders of mucus and bile; strengthens the eyes, and is fit and proper food for the sick; it however weakens the stomach—this I know by experience. If given to a person of weak digestive organs, it will be passed unchanged, although other food will be digested. I therefore conclude that it is too difficult of assimilation to be used with advantage, as here recommended. It weakens aphrodisia. P. Maash.
939 Moth موتة.—A grain of India; cool; some say in equilibrium. It is dry, quick of digestion, and if used with cow’s ghee, its flavor will be much improved. It cleanses the blood, is sweet during digestion, relieves wind, and removes laxities of the bowels; some indeed have called it aperient: cures mucus disorders, strokes of the wind or sun, and removes fever. It produces worms.
940 More مور.—The Peacock? Its flesh is hot, aphrodisiac, and tonic; beneficial in diseases of the ear, colds, dryness, and creates appetite; increases understanding, thickens the hair of the head, strengthens eye-sight, cleans the voice, and beautifies the complexion. It ought to be ate in the cold season, as it is not so beneficial in the hot winds and rains. P. Taous.
941 Morba موربا.—A medicine of India. Its root hard, and of a clay color; hot and dry in the 2nd degree: used as an external application in swellings of the throat, and one direm of it eaten, it will loosen phlegm from the throat.
