Alcohol's all well and goood, but how about the elixir of love?

And didn't we once discuss "a norange", coming from an Arabic form I now fergit?

There must be loads more, from the centuries when Arabic scholars led the world in the sciences and mathematics and astronomy...

And there was an interesting (if not *entirely convincing) article in TVR a while back - lemme see if I can find it....

edit: oopsie, sorry Bill - somehow I missed your listing of elixir on first reading! ok, I have just seen this (which being a googlehound you have probably already seen, but!)...
