PATIGUMO (a corruption of the words pate-de-gummasse); the name of a sort of paste or cakes much used on the continent as an agreeable and useful remedy for catarrhal defluxions, and supposed by Dr Percival to consist of gum-arabic combined with sugar and the whites of eggs (see the article HUNGERS, p. 745, col. 1.) But we have been informed that the powdered substance of the marshmallows is the chief ingredient of the composition.
