Cantbarides is a moft plentiful article in their magazine of Cantharides. 

 drugs. The falacious Mahometans make great ufe of them, 

 and give a great price for the dangerous provocative. This 

 infedl, the Meloe veficatoria, is not noted as a native of Hin- 

 doojlan, either in Linna;us's Monograph on that infedt, nor in 

 his Syjlema Natura^ nor in our Faunida^ yet it certainly is a 

 native of the country, being enumerated among the articles 

 imported from India into England. Lieutenant Moor-t p. 408, 

 believes it to be the very fame with the Cantharides of Spain. 

 I leave this in doubt. The following is the fum of drugs for 

 which we are indebted to India, and the illes remote or 

 near, for the prefervation of that bleffing health in our dif- 

 tant clime. Thefe only we admit at prefent into our materia 

 medica. 



Ferula affafoetida. 

 Styrax Benzoe. 

 Acorus Calamus. 

 Laurus Camphora. 



Laurus Cinnamomum. 

 Caryophyllus aromaticus. 

 Myriftica Mofchata.
