| has gloss | eng: Revalenta Arabica is a name given to a preparation which was sold in the 18th century as an empirical diet for invalids, extraordinary restorative virtues being attributed to it. It was, in reality, only a preparation of the common lentil, its first name being formed for disguise by the transposition of its earlier botanical name, Ervum lens. Its real value was about equal to good pea-meal. |
