Benjamin. Styrax Benzoin. A gum exuded from a species of laurel. Stimulant. Is the principal ingredient in Friar’s Balsam.

Bole Armeniack. Armenian Bole. Several minerals were formerly used in medicine under this name. The Armenian Bole of the present day is usually made by mixing pipe-clay or common chalk with oxide of iron or red ochre.

Cardomum. Elettaria Cardamomum. Amomum Repens. Repens. True Cardamom. Seeds, stimulant, assisting digestion, largely used in medicine. Strong, pungent, but aromatic odour when bruised.
