Tree grows only in that 
part of Arabia Fxlix which 
is fituated betwixt the Tro-

take' fuch Care that it

itrpy the Vegetative Virtue 
! of the Seed, either by boyl- 
ing or burning it, before 
they will part with it out 
oftheir Hands. And they 
are much in the right ; for 
they get infinite Treafure 
by this one Commodity : 
Upon which Account, at 
Icaft, it may be called Ara- 
bia Ftclix. No one can 
imagine how many Thou- 
fand Bufhels of it are ex-

which reafon it is commen-

for inveterate Head-aches, 
Apoplexy, Falling-ficknefs, 
Vertigo, Afthma, Cough, 
cold Difeafes of the Joints, 
Flatulent Cholicks,a Drop-

fore it is ufed it ought to 
be well powder’d, and fat 
and Lubricating things 
ought to be mix’d with it, 
to attenaperate the Acrimo-
