326 Toott توت.—A common tree, of the middling size; its leaves are a little oval, very soft and easily squeezed; its fruit is half an inch long or more, both white and black, the best without seeds, and much less than the rest. It is sweet and easy of digestion, strengthens the system and kidnies; is aphrodisiac, increases blood, remedies costiveness; is hot and dry. Those without seed, more efficient than any other.

327 Thour تهور.—Euphorbia Neriifolia, Roxb. called also Thúr. A kind of Zekoom, (thorny tree,) some call it Synhud, others describe it as resembling the Zekoom, and that its fruit is like the Hurrhee, but the Thóor and Synhud do not bear fruit. The milk of the plant blisters the skin; its expressed oil is aphrodisiac, and possesses other properties. A cloth wet with the milk, is used as an aphrodisiac, and the particular manner will be found in the Ilajulumrar and the Ijalénápheh.
In the Maadentezerrubad, it is thus mentioned: Thewér. In the opinion of the people of India, it removes costiveness, cures affections of the spleen and spasms of the stomach, and evacuates the bowels and Fetuek; if its leaves are boiled in water or Dhaie with a little salt, strained and drank with a little cow’s ghee, it will cure all disorders of wind and vitiated bile, and relax the bowels. The milk of the Thewer is procured as follows:
Pierce the plant close to the root, and fill the wound during a night with asafœtida, in the morning remove the gum, and attach a vessel to receive the exuding milk, and should the juice be required very thin, a little salt may be added to the asafœtida.
