is the place whither all the Banimis come, that trade into Perfia, where they,
follow the fame Trade as the and out-do them in Ufury. They have a
particular Law among them, which permits them to eat Fowl upon certain
days in the year; and not to have more than one Wife among two or three
Brothers, the eldeft whereof is accounted the Father of the Children. This
City alfo breeds abundance of Daricbrs, of both Sexes, thatfpread themfelves all

Inall thefe forty Coftes of way, there are but three pitiful Villages; where
fometimes, though very rarely, you have Bread and Barley for your Horfes;
but the fureft way is to carry provifion along with you. In the Months of
July and : Auguli, there blows a hot Wind in thofe parts, that takes away a
mans breath, and kills him upon the place; being of the fame nature with
thofe Winds, of which I have fpoken in my PtYftm Relations, that blow at
ceftain feafonsmear £nd ^ . ♦
Cabout is a large City, very well fortified ^ and is the place where thofe
titVsbek, come every year to fell their Horfes. They reckon, that there are
bought .and fold, every year, above lixty thoufand. They bring alfo out of
Perfia, great numbers of Sheep, and other Cattel; it being the general Con-
courfe of Terftans, Tartarians, and Indians. There is alfo Wine to be had;
but Provifions go off at a very good rate.
> Before I go any farther, I muft take notice of one thing in particular,, con
cerning the * people callM Augans, who inhabit from Candahar to Cabout, to
ward the Mountains of Batch, a fturdy fort of people, and great Robbers in
the night-time. It is the cuftom of the Indians to cleanfe and fcrape their tongues
every morning with a crooked piece ofa root, which caufes them to void a great
quantity of Flegm and. Rhume, and provokes vomiting. Now though thofe
people that inhabit the Frontiers of Per ft a and India praftife the fame thing ;
neverthelefs they vomit very little in the morning, but when they come to eat,
as Toon as they have fwallowed two or three bits, their lungs begin to fwe!l,and
they, are conftrain’d to go forth and vomit; after which, they return again to
their Viduals with a very good appetite. Should they not do fo, they would
not live above thirty years ^ and befefes, they would be troubl’d with the
