Volume 1 · 116 words · 1778 Edition

in heraldry, a term used when the eyes of a rapacious creature are borne of a different tincture from the creature itself.

a resin exuding from the trunk of a large American tree, called by Pito jetaiba, by the Indians courbaril. This resin is of a transparent amber colour, a light agreeable smell, and little or no taste. It dis- solves entirely, but not very readily, in rectified spirit of wine; the impurities, which are often in large quan- tity, remaining behind. The Brazilians are said to em- ploy anime in fumigations for pains and aches proceed- ing from a cold cause: with us, it is rarely, if ever, made use of for any medicinal purposes.
