their Feet and Hands with Wine, impregnated either with _Rosemary_, _Sage_, or _Betony_, it is incredible, how much it would contribute to their Health. Besides, it may happen, that, by this Means, malignant Disorders may be prevented. This Redundance, therefore, of a volatile Sulphur in the _Chamelæagnus_, which palpably affects the Smell of those who walk in Copsy Ground, disturbs the Brain, intoxicates, and produces Head-achs. Thus, in Wine-Vaults, a Person is intoxicated by drinking, sooner than elsewhere, because the Wine, though contained in close Casks, sends forth sulphureous Exhalations, which escape the Sight. It is certain, that the _Tartars_ import their _Cha_, or _Chamelæagnus_, into _China_; but, it is not, to me, probable, that they prepare it in the same Manner with the _Chinese_: For, if we consider the Customs and Regimen of the _Tartars_, we find them intolerably addicted to Drunkenness; notwithstanding which, they are very robust and hardy: Hence, if they eat Herbs crude, and also boiled, as they do their _Baltracan_, it is probable, they toast their _Cha_, or dry it, and use it, whether after a _Crapula_, or not, and whether they are afflicted with a Pain of the Head, or not; provided they are intoxicated with it, as the Country People of _Europe_ are with the _Chamelæagnus_ In order to correct this intoxicating Quality of the _Chamelæagnus_, the _Chinese_ gather the Leaves in the _Spring_, and not in the _Summer_: Now, it is sufficiently certain, from chemical Observations, that the sulphureous Parts of Herbs are easily exhaled. This was well enough known to _Galen_, since, in _Lib. de Aliment. Facultat. Cap. 18._ he tells us, that the drastic Qualities of Substances, that is, their saline, sulphureous, and volatile Parts, are corrected, or drawn out by boiling, roasting, or Maceration. Hence, the _Chinese_ toast, or carefully dry their _Tea_, in a Stove; after which, they macerate it for a Quarter of an Hour in warm Water, but do not boil it, lest, by that Means, it should be deprived of all its Virtues: Thus, it is sufficiently known, that _Rhubarb_ is deprived of its purgative Qualities by toasting it, and _Alexandrian Senna_ by being boiled, and strongly expressed. If, therefore, as I before hinted, the _Europeans_ would imitate the _Chinese_, they would only use those Leaves of the _Chamelæagnus_, which are gathered in the _Spring_; but not the Shrub itself, nor the Flowers, nor Seeds, boiled in Ale instead of Hops; for the Leaves ought only to be macerated: Nor is it probable, that the _Chamelæagnus_ would intoxicate so soon, if it was intirely deprived of its Seeds; for this Effect is produced by the Sulphur which abounds in other Herbs and Shrubs, as well as the _Chamelæagnus_, and is sometimes more, and sometimes less volatile, or fixed: Thus, the Scent of the Heart of the _Moschatella_ is intirely lost, by being frequently smelled. The _Geranium Moschatum_ also, has this peculiar
