Revalenta arabĭca

Revalenta arabĭca

Revalenta arabĭca, Substanz, welche für Kranke verschiedener Art, namentlich für geschwächte Zustände, die erfolgreichsten Wirkungen hervorbringen sollte u. um hohen Preis verkauft wurde. Mikroskopisch-chemische Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, daß die R.a. hauptsächlich aus dem Mehl von Hülsenfrüchten, wahrscheinlich aus einem Gemisch von Erbsen- u. Linsenmehl besteht, worauf auch der Name R. deutet, welcher aus ervum u. lens zusammengesetzt zu sein u. durch die Umstellung der ersten Buchstaben auf Revalenz (Neuerstärkung) hindeuten zu sollen scheint.
