a kind of fine hole used in the shops of Germany and Italy. These earths are both dug out of the same pit, in the place from whence they have their name, and in some other parts of the world. They are generally brought to us made up into little cakes, and sealed with the impression of a church and an ecuchoon with two crois keys. In Spain and Portugal they are much used, sometimes singly, sometimes mixed together, and are good in fevers and in fluxes of all kinds.
