Tobacco, EngUJh, Nkotiana minor, or Nicot'tana rufiica 

 of Linnaeus, is a fpccies of tobacco, which was originally a 

 native of America, but now propagates itfelf plentifull^nJ 

 in England and other parts of Europe. The flowers arq 

 of an herbaceous yellow colour, appearing in July, and ar 

 fucceeded by roundifh capfules filled with fraall feedsi 

 which ripen in autumn. The leaves are faid by fome t<f 

 be of the fame quality with thofe of henbane ; but by othersl 

 to be fimilar to the preceding, but weaker. They have 

 been fometimes fubftituted in our markets, inftead of tha 

 true tobacco ; but are eafily dillinguifhed by their fmalll 

 iiefs and oval fliape, and by being furnilhed with pedicles

Tobacco, Kanajlcr. See Kanaster. 

 ToTiACCQ- Water, among Sheep-Farmers, a liquor prepared 

 by infuCng or boiling tobacco in water. A very ufefiJ 

 mode of preparing it is, by boiling one pound of tobacco in 

 two gallons of itrong fait brine, adding, after the liquid has 

 become cool, about three ounces of the oil of turpentine. 

 It is fometimes, too, the praftice to diffolve fifteen or 

 twenty grains, or more, of fublimate or muriated quick- 

 filver in the turpentine, before it is added to the liquor or 

 mixture. A fmall proportion of corroilve fublimate, dif- 

 folved in fpirits of wine, is alfo a fafe and neat mode of in- 

 corporating it with the tobacco-water or liquid. 



Tobacco-water, or liquor, is likewife occafionally mixed 

 with other fubftances ; as two pints of it have fometimes 

 three ounces of fulphur mixed in them, being put on a
