ABSTRACT
Dáís have many secret remedies which they puff with unblushing assurance. Several are innocuous, a few useful, but in all cases they consist of so many and such heterogeneous substances that their action must be extremely doubtful. Their favorite remedy is called Mastúrí, or Battísá, from its being composed of thirty two ingredients. Among other things it contains syrup, galls, litharge, sandalwood, rock salt, and gokhru (Tribulus lanuginosus), and is applied on balls of cotton soaked in Champá oil in all diseases peculiar to women.
