2Curp?ttttU0. There are 
two forts of Trees the Tur- 
pentine comes from, by in- 
cifions that are made into 
them, to wit, the Turpen- 
tine-tree, nd the Latrix or 
Larch-tree. There are a 
great many of both fort’s in 
hot Countries, fuch as Ita- 
ly, Provence, and even in 
Daufhine. Turpentine is 
properly a liquid Refin in 
the Confiftence of Balfam ; 
that which is brought out 
of the Ifle of Chios is beft e- 
fteemed, and is alfo the 
deareft. That which we 
ufe, and is called Venice- 
Turpentine, muft be clear, 
j transparent, fragrant, and 
a little biting on the Tafte. 
It is ufed like a Balfam for 
Wounds. It is very diure- 
| tick taken inwardly, and 
is therefore given in Go- 
I norrheas, in Bolus, or elfe 
I diffolv’d in fome Liquor, by 
■ 
means ofa little Yelk of an 
Egg ; it gives the Urine a 
fmell much like Violets, 
it is often boil’d in Water, 
and then becomes folid like 
Rofin ; and being fo pre- 
par’d, is made up into Pills. 
The Dofc is, from half a 
Dram to a Dram, if you 
take too much of it, it gives 
the Head-ach. If in Cu- 
riofity you fliould boil a 
little Turpentine in Water 
for a quarter of an Hour, 
and after you have remo- 
ved it from the Fire, if you 
fhould pour cold Water 
upon it, you would fee gf 
little Skin Spread it Self up- 
on the Water which has 
many curious Marble col- 
ours ; and if you gather 
this Skin into a Lump, it 
will become a white Tur- 
pentine.
