AN ALEM'MA, f. A planifphere, or projection of the 
fphere, orthographigally made on the plane of the meri- 
dian, by perpendiculars from every point of that plane, 
the eye fuppoled to be at an infinite diftance, and in the 
call or weft point of the horizon. In this projection, the 
folftitial colure, and all its parallels, are projected into 
concentric circles, equal to the real circles in the fphere ; 
and all circles whofe planes pals through the eye, as the 
horizon and its parallels, are projected into right lines 
equal to their diameters ; but all oblique circles are pro¬ 
jected into elliples, having the diameter o.f the circle for 
the tranfverfe axis. This inftrunient, having the furni¬ 
ture drawn on a plate of wood or brafs, with an horizon 
fitted to it, is ufed for refolving many aftronomical pro¬ 
blems; as, the time of the fun’s riling and fitting, the

ed very well of the analemma; as, Aguilo-mus, Taqiaet,

cines fi.ii.ted to reftore the force of the body when loft, and 
famedmes employed with refpeCt to ftiimulus 5 but more 
commonly with refpeCt to thofe fubftances which fupp.ly 
a deficient nouvifnment. Bolides the nutritious quality of 
reftor.atives, they have a fweet, fragrant, fubtile, oleous, 
principle, which immediately aft eels the nerves, and gives 
a kind of friendly motion to the fluids. In dileafes, the 
fpeedieft way to reftore ftrength, is to remove the caufe oc- 
cafioning the debility; but this is not to be done merely 
by the force of medicines, which increase the vital heat; 
for, in convulftons and fevers, the motions are very ftrong, 
and yet the natural ftrength is languid: whence it is con¬ 
cluded, that true ftrength depends upon congruous ali¬ 
ments, turned into laudable blqod and juices, yielding 
plenty of .animal heat, the true and only fource of fimmels 
and vigour. Cordial flowers.and herbs, muik, ambergT.ifq, 
oil of cinnamon made .into olea facchara, chocolate, thell- 
fifh, &c. are analeptic.
