Thefe are reckon-ed the p.incipal Aromatics of ourow"n Giowth. Fhey are almoftin all nervous Complaints, efpe-cially fuch as arife from too greatMoifture and Cold, as they arehot and drying. In Epilep^es,Apoplexies, Falj.es and ¿il ú¡í-eafcs of that kind, they a'e rurd-ly ever omitted in Prefer ipuon un-der ibme Form or Other. Ineyabound with a fiibtile d:re:geni'Oil, which makes them univer-ially deobftruent and opening. Theyare therefore prefcrib'd in UterineObftruitions, in rhe Jaundice, andeven in the Gout. With theft ismade the celebiated Hungary Wa-ter ; a fmall Quantity of whichdiluted with common Water, isreckon'd excellent in diilodging andbringing away Wax which ha; densin the Ears, and hinders the Hear-ing.

The dry"d Clove is the Fruit Ct^iof a large Tree, bat is not fo muchulèd in Medicine, per fe, as in fea-foning of Food An effential Oil,of wh : ch they yield great plenty,is ufed in many things; and as itis very warm, and agreeable tothe Nerves, it enters into theCompofnion of many Catharticsas a Corredor. In this Rank itftands in ¡he Til. ex Duobus 5 andin the EleiluAriutn Caryocoflinum,the Clove is pouder'd.
