Note 678 — Chapter XLVII · ON EPILEPSY
D. C. (Douglas Craven) Phillott translation
About three dessert-spoonfuls should be given. After this, or similar physicing, an Indian falconer fills the hawk’s crop with water by inserting a tube (usually the shank-bone of a crane or heron, made smooth at the ends) into the crop, filling his own mouth with water and letting it flow through the tube into the crop. Peregrines and Shāhīns will usually drink of their own accord.
