⁸ Acute alimentary irritation (Gulabkunverba); choleric diarrhoea (R.K. Sharma and Bhagwan Dash); cholera (HIM I, Intr. 102–112). See J. Jolly (1901): 75–76: cholera in its sporadic form according to Wise, Dutt and Hoernle; G.J. Meulenbeld (1974): 622; J. Semmelink (1885a): 18–26. The identification of visūcikā as the disease, now called cholera, described for the first time in its epidemic form by Sonnerat in 1768 (see on Sonnerat: J. Macpherson, 1872: 129–133; J. Semmelink, 1885a: 164–175), is ill-founded (see E.H. Ackerknecht, 1963: 20–21; J. Macpherson, 1872: 9–10). The disease visūcikā is already mentioned in the Vājasaneyisaṃhitā (19.10) and other Vedic texts (see A.A. Macdonell and A.B. Keith, 1967: II, 314; H. Zimmer, 1879: 392–393); it is known to many Sanskrit texts (see the references in PW). See on Indian names for disorders which resemble cholera: J. Macpherson (1872): 6–7, 9–11; M. v. Pettenkofer (1871): 7–8. Some books and articles on cholera, in India and its history, are: *J. Annesley (1825), (1828); D. Arnold (1989), (1993): 159–199; *Ch. Banks (1895, 1896); D.

Hirsch (1881): 278–307; B. Hyma and A. Ramesh (1976); *J. Jameson (1820); I. Klein (1980); *C. Macnamara (1870), (1876); J. Macpherson *(1866a), (1866b), (1872): 79–123; R.P.
