and a syrup. These preparations, especially the first and second, 
have been highly esteemed in phthisical-cases, particularly by the 
Arabian physicians. Avicenna‘ and Mesue* mention: some remark- 
able instances of this kind which were cured by the roses. Riverius 
also cites several others ;° and the case of Kriiger, related in the 
German ephemerides,! has been thought a still more evident 
proof of the efficacy of the conserve of roses in phthisis pulmo- 
nalis; but as the use of the conserve was constantly join ned with 
that of milk and farinacea, together with proper exercise in the 
open air, it has been doubted if these recoveries could be wholly 
imputed to the roses,* though their mild astringent and cor- 
roborant virtues certainly contributed much." 
The infusion of roses is a grateful cooling subastringent, and 
useful in heoptysis, and some other hemorrhagic complaints as a 
gargle; its efficacy however depends chiefly on the acid. The 
syrup derives its.use merely from its colour.
