CLARY-Water, is composed of brandy, sugar, clary-flowers, and cinnamon, with a little ambergis dissolved in it. It helps digestion, and is cardiac. This water is rendered either purgative or emetic, by adding resin of jalap and scammony, or crocus metallorum. Some make clary-water of brandy, juice of cherries, strawberries, and gooseberries, sugar, cloves, white pepper, and coriander seeds; infused, sugared, and strained.
