it may be fupported. The pods grow in pairs, and are generally of the thicknefs of 

 a child's finger j they are green at firft, grow yellowim afterwards, and turn of a 

 brown i Hi cait as they ripen. When they come to a full ft ate of maturity, they 

 are gathered, and hanged by the ends to dry in the fhade: but, when dry enough to 

 keep, they are rubbed over with oil, to hinder them from growing light or fpungy, 

 and to prevent their breaking; after which, they are put into little bags, from 

 50 to 150 in each, to keep them ready for ufe, the market, or exportation. 



Some people let the pods remain upon the ftalks too long, and then they tranfude 

 a black fragrant balfam, which carries off both the fmell and delicacy of the feeds, 

 for which alone the plant is cultivated ; thefe being frequently mixed in chocolate, 

 by the French, Spaniards, and Italians, to which they are thought to give both a 

 delicate fmell and an agreeable flavour. They are generally looked upon as a cool- 

 ing cordial, a ftomachic, and a good nervous medicine: and are fometimcs ufed to 

 perfume fnuffs, and many other fubftances.
