Terra NOCERIANA, earth of Nocera, in the materia medica, a species of balsam, remarkably heavy, of a greyish-white colour, of an insipid taste, and generally with some particles in it which grit between the teeth.

It is much esteemed, by the Italians, as a remedy for venous bites, and in fevers; but, except its astringent quality, little dependence is to be had on the other virtues ascribed to it.
