CARPOBALSAM, in the Materia Medica, the fruit of the tree which yields the true oriental balsam. The Carpop Balsam is used in Egypt, according to Prosper Alpinus, in all the intentions in which the balsam itself is applied: but the only use the Europeans make of it, is in Venice-treacle and Mithridate; and in these not a great deal, for cubebbs and juniper-berries are generally substituted in its place.
