<p class="C1">&#65279HONIGBERGER, DOCTOR JOHN MARTIN (1795-1865), physician to the court of Lahore from 1829 to 1849 and known to his Sikh contemporaries as Martin S&#257hib, was a Transylvanian born at Kronstadt in 1795. He combined with his medical knowledge an ardent spirit of enquiry and adventure. He had a great fascination for the East. He left his home in 1815, and wandering through Europe, Russia, Turkey, Syria and Jerusalem, reached Cairo, where he joined the Turkish military medical service. In 1822, he heard about an outbreak of plague in Syria and resigned his post to study the disease in which he became a specialist. He set up practice in Damascus, but moved on again after a few years and arrived at Baghdad where he was employed by the Pasha as his personal physician, with the additional charge of a local hospital. Having heard, from a travelling merchant, of Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 Ra&#7751j&#299t Si&#7749gh's generosity and the welcome the Europeans met with at his court, Honigberger decided to proceed to the Sikh capital. He set, out in the winter of 1829 and reached Lahore in four months' time.</p>਍㰀瀀 挀氀愀猀猀㴀∀䌀㄀∀㸀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀ऀ刀愀☀⌀㜀㜀㔀㄀樀☀⌀㈀㤀㤀琀 匀椀☀⌀㜀㜀㐀㤀最栀 眀愀猀 漀甀琀 漀渀 愀 洀椀氀椀琀愀爀礀 攀砀瀀攀搀椀琀椀漀渀 眀栀攀渀 䠀漀渀椀最戀攀爀最攀爀 愀爀爀椀瘀攀搀 愀琀 䰀愀栀漀爀攀 愀渀搀 搀椀搀 渀漀琀 爀攀琀甀爀渀 甀渀琀椀氀 琀栀攀 爀愀椀渀礀 猀攀愀猀漀渀⸀ 䐀甀爀椀渀最 琀栀攀 椀渀琀攀爀瘀愀氀Ⰰ 䠀漀渀椀最戀攀爀最攀爀 攀猀琀愀戀氀椀猀栀攀搀 栀椀猀 爀攀瀀甀琀愀琀椀漀渀 愀猀 愀 瀀栀礀猀椀挀椀愀渀⸀ 吀栀攀 昀椀爀猀琀 瀀愀琀椀攀渀琀 栀攀 愀琀琀攀渀搀攀搀Ⰰ 愀渀搀 猀甀挀挀攀猀猀昀甀氀氀礀 琀爀攀愀琀攀搀Ⰰ 眀愀猀 䄀挀栀椀氀氀攀猀Ⰰ 愀搀漀瀀琀攀搀 猀漀渀 漀昀 䜀攀渀攀爀愀氀 䄀氀氀愀爀搀Ⰰ 眀栀漀 栀愀搀 氀漀渀最 戀攀攀渀 猀甀昀昀攀爀椀渀最 昀爀漀洀 愀 昀椀猀琀甀氀愀 漀渀 琀栀攀 猀瀀椀渀攀⸀ 䠀攀 愀氀猀漀 樀漀甀爀渀攀礀攀搀 琀漀 䬀愀猀栀洀☀⌀㈀㤀㤀爀Ⰰ 眀栀攀爀攀 栀攀 挀甀爀攀搀 刀☀⌀㈀㔀㜀樀☀⌀㈀㔀㜀 匀甀挀栀攀琀 匀椀☀⌀㜀㜀㐀㤀最栀 漀昀 愀 挀栀爀漀渀椀挀 搀椀猀攀愀猀攀⸀㰀⼀瀀㸀ഀഀ
<p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;	In 1833, Honigberger suddenly became homesick and made up his mind to go back to Transylvania. Ra&#7751j&#299t Si&#7749gh had developed such a liking for him that he was loath to let him go. He raised his salary and even offered him governorship of a province. "But such was my longing to depart, " writes Honigberger in his book, <i>Thirty-five Years in the East</i>, "that not even the R&#257j&#257's Koh-i-Noor, valued at Rs 5,00,000 would have tempted me to remain."</p>਍㰀瀀 挀氀愀猀猀㴀∀䌀㄀∀㸀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀ऀ吀爀愀瘀攀氀氀椀渀最 漀瘀攀爀氀愀渀搀Ⰰ 栀攀 瀀愀猀猀攀搀 琀栀爀漀甀最栀 䄀昀最栀愀渀椀猀琀愀渀Ⰰ 䌀攀渀琀爀愀氀 䄀猀椀愀 愀渀搀 刀甀猀猀椀愀Ⰰ 愀渀搀 昀椀渀愀氀氀礀 爀攀愀挀栀攀搀 栀椀猀 栀漀洀攀 椀渀 ㄀㠀㌀㐀Ⰰ 愀昀琀攀爀 愀渀 愀戀猀攀渀挀攀 愀戀爀漀愀搀 漀昀 愀氀洀漀猀琀 琀眀攀渀琀礀 礀攀愀爀猀⸀ 䈀甀琀 栀攀 猀琀愀礀攀搀 琀栀攀爀攀 漀渀氀礀 昀漀爀 猀椀砀 洀漀渀琀栀猀 戀攀昀漀爀攀 攀洀戀愀爀欀椀渀最 漀渀 栀椀猀 琀爀愀瘀攀氀猀 愀最愀椀渀⸀ 䄀昀琀攀爀 瘀椀猀椀琀椀渀最 猀攀瘀攀爀愀氀 䔀甀爀漀瀀攀愀渀 挀漀甀渀琀爀椀攀猀Ⰰ 栀攀 愀爀爀椀瘀攀搀 愀琀 䌀漀渀猀琀愀渀琀椀渀漀瀀氀攀⸀ 䐀甀爀椀渀最 琀栀椀猀 樀漀甀爀渀攀礀Ⰰ 栀攀 栀愀搀 洀攀琀 椀渀 倀愀爀椀猀 䐀爀 䠀愀栀渀攀洀愀渀渀Ⰰ 琀栀攀 昀愀琀栀攀爀 漀昀 栀漀洀漀攀漀瀀愀琀栀礀⸀ 䠀攀 戀攀挀愀洀攀 搀攀攀瀀氀礀 椀渀琀攀爀攀猀琀攀搀 椀渀 琀栀攀 渀攀眀 猀礀猀琀攀洀 漀昀 洀攀搀椀挀椀渀攀Ⰰ 愀渀搀 瀀爀愀挀琀椀猀攀搀 椀琀 愀琀 䌀漀渀猀琀愀渀琀椀渀漀瀀氀攀 昀爀漀洀 ㄀㠀㌀㘀 琀漀 ㄀㠀㌀㠀⸀㰀⼀瀀㸀ഀഀ
<p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;	In 1838, on hearing, from Ventura, that Ra&#7751j&#299t Si&#7749gh was critically ill and desired him to return to Lahore, Honigberger abandoned his practice, went to meet Ventura at Alexandria, and returned with him to Lahore via Bombay. Here his old offices were restored to him. His immediate concern was the fast failing health of the Mah&#257r&#257j&#257, who was almost paralyzed and had lost his speech. A mixture prepared by Honigberger enabled the ailing monarch to sit up and speak, and he continued to attend on him. A newsletter, <i>Punjab A<u>kh</u>b&#257r</i>, dated 6 June 1939, states: "He (Ra&#7749j&#299t Si&#7749gh) complained to the physicians that he felt very weak and uncomfortable in consequence of his using the talc powder but that he liked the drug brought to him by Ruttun Si&#7749gh <i>Gudvaee</i> last night from Doctor Martin.... Doctor Martin was ordered to give some effectual medicine like the drug he had given..." But no medicine could save the Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 who died on 27 June 1839.</p>਍㰀瀀 挀氀愀猀猀㴀∀䌀㄀∀㸀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀ऀ䠀漀渀椀最戀攀爀最攀爀 栀愀搀 猀椀渀挀攀 洀愀爀爀椀攀搀 愀 䬀愀猀栀洀☀⌀㈀㤀㤀爀☀⌀㈀㤀㤀 眀漀洀愀渀⸀ 䠀攀 挀漀渀琀椀渀甀攀搀 琀漀 猀琀愀礀 椀渀 䰀愀栀漀爀攀 愀渀搀 眀椀琀渀攀猀猀攀搀 洀愀渀礀 漀昀 琀栀攀 琀爀愀最椀挀 猀挀攀渀攀猀 猀甀挀栀 愀猀 琀栀攀 搀攀愀琀栀 漀昀 䬀愀☀⌀㜀㜀㐀㤀瘀愀爀 一愀甀 一椀栀☀⌀㈀㔀㜀氀 匀椀☀⌀㜀㜀㐀㤀最栀 愀渀搀 琀栀攀 愀猀猀愀猀猀椀渀愀琀椀漀渀 漀昀 䴀愀栀☀⌀㈀㔀㜀爀☀⌀㈀㔀㜀樀☀⌀㈀㔀㜀 匀栀攀爀 匀椀☀⌀㜀㜀㐀㤀最栀⸀ 䠀攀 眀愀猀 搀椀猀洀椀猀猀攀搀 戀礀 倀愀☀⌀㜀㜀㔀㄀☀⌀㜀㘀㤀㌀椀琀 䨀愀氀氀☀⌀㈀㔀㜀 戀甀琀 眀愀猀 爀攀ⴀ攀洀瀀氀漀礀攀搀 愀昀琀攀爀 琀栀攀 氀愀琀琀攀爀✀猀 搀攀愀琀栀⸀ 䠀攀 挀漀渀琀椀渀甀攀搀 椀渀 猀攀爀瘀椀挀攀 攀瘀攀渀 愀昀琀攀爀 琀栀攀 氀愀瀀猀攀 漀昀 匀椀欀栀 猀漀瘀攀爀攀椀最渀琀礀 愀渀搀 眀愀猀 椀渀 挀栀愀爀最攀 漀昀 最愀漀氀 愀渀搀 琀栀攀 愀猀礀氀甀洀 昀漀爀 氀甀渀愀琀椀挀猀 眀栀椀挀栀 栀攀 栀愀搀 栀椀洀猀攀氀昀 昀漀甀渀搀攀搀⸀ 䈀甀琀 栀攀 猀漀漀渀 昀攀氀氀 漀甀琀 眀椀琀栀 栀椀猀 䈀爀椀琀椀猀栀 猀甀瀀攀爀椀漀爀Ⰰ 䐀爀 䴀挀䜀爀攀最漀爀Ⰰ 愀渀搀 爀攀猀椀最渀攀搀⸀ 吀栀攀 䈀爀椀琀椀猀栀 最漀瘀攀爀渀洀攀渀琀Ⰰ 栀漀眀攀瘀攀爀Ⰰ 最爀愀渀琀攀搀 栀椀洀 愀 瀀攀渀猀椀漀渀 漀昀 刀猀 㔀　　 瀀攀爀 洀漀渀琀栀Ⰰ 瀀愀礀愀戀氀攀 椀渀 䔀甀爀漀瀀攀Ⰰ 愀渀搀 栀攀 爀攀琀椀爀攀搀 琀漀 䠀甀渀最愀爀礀 眀椀琀栀 栀椀猀 琀眀漀 挀栀椀氀搀爀攀渀Ⰰ 眀栀漀 搀甀爀椀渀最 栀椀猀 猀攀爀瘀椀挀攀 椀渀 䰀愀栀漀爀攀 眀攀爀攀 猀攀渀琀 琀漀 猀挀栀漀漀氀 愀琀 䴀甀猀猀漀漀爀椀攀⸀ 䠀攀 搀椀攀搀 椀渀 ㄀㠀㘀㔀⸀㰀⼀瀀㸀ഀഀ
<p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;	Honigberger's memoirs, published in London in 1852 under the title <i>Thirty-five Years in the East</i>, contain in addition to a record of his life, adventures and experiences, much valuable information about historical events as well as about life, manners and customs in the Punjab of his days. His primary interest, however, was his profession. He gives in his memoirs a comprehensive medical vocabulary, profusely illustrated by drawings of medical plants, and details of diseases and their remedies in homoeopathic, allopathic, &#256yurvedic and &#362n&#257n&#299 systems of medicine. Homaeopathy claimed his first love.</p>਍㰀⼀昀漀渀琀㸀ഀഀ
