Dear Prof. Jha,

Please try eJIM, the eJournal of Indian medicine, which is a multidisciplinary periodical that publishes studies on traditional South Asian medical systems by qualified scholars in philology, medicine, pharmacology, botany, anthropology and sociology. Website address is www.indianmedicine.nl.

eJIM is an Open Access publication and makes no charge either to authors or to readers. Users have to register in order to read the articles.

We have published several articles on poison, snake-bites, etc. Just one recent example: Traditional Poison-healing System in Kerala: an Overview, by Tsutomu Yamashita, Brahmadathan U.M.T., Madhu K. Parameswaran.

Dear List,

One of my former students is seeking bibliographic information on 
poisons and their treatment in ancient India. Since I am familiar with literature on the subject I am giving below her request for help:

 "I am looking for material for a paper on poisons, anti-venom drugs and treatment in ancient India. I haven't come across too many secondary writings on this."
