Life,” says : “ Fumigation or the use of scents is not practised 
in modern physic, but might be carried out with advantage,

others so inspiriting and reviving.” Walking in the India

kept in great quantities, he was so revived by their aromatic 
fragrance that both he, and those with him were much exalted 
in health and in humour.
