CHAPTER XVIII.
THE PERFUMES USED FOR FUMIGATION.
According to the use made of them, perfumes for fumigation may be
divided into two groups: those which develop their fragrance on being
burned, and those which do so on being merely heated. The former group
includes pastils and ribbons, the latter fumigating powders and waters.
FUMIGATING PASTILS.
_French_—Pastilles fumigatoires; _German_—Räucherkerzen.
