CHAP. 35.—HOW THALASSOMELI IS MADE.

There is also a composition made to ripen for use, known as "thalassomeli,"1 and prepared with equal parts of sea-water, honey, and rain-water. For this purpose, also, the water is brought from out at sea, and the preparation is kept in an earthen vessel well pitched. It acts most efficiently as a purgative, and without in the least fatiguing the stomach; the taste, too, and smell of it, are very agreeable.

1 "Sea-water honey."
