be used after the same manner for the Rheumatism.

and the _Pomatum_ against Tetters. You will find their Description and
Properties among the Remarks at the End of this Treatise.

REMARKS
Upon some PLACES of the
TREATISE upon _Chocolate_.

REMARK I.

The _Coco-tree_ is the same as the Palm-Tree so famous in the
_East-Indies_; its Fruit is call'd _Coco_, and care should be taken that
it be not confounded with _Cocao_. I make this Remark, because I find
that _William Dampier_ very improperly calls[a] _Coco's Cocao-Nuts_,
and the Tree that bears them a _Cocao_.

REMARK II.

They have transported these great Trees from _St. Domingo_ to the _Vent
Islands_; their Leaves being almost round, are firm and so smooth, that
one would think they had been varnished. Their Fruit are sometimes as
large as one's Head, and their Skins very thick: When that is taken off,
the Pulp is very near the Colour, Smell, and Taste of our Apricocks; in
the Middle there are four Stones as big as Pullets Eggs, which are
difficult to separate from the Fruit. They are eaten with Wine and
Sugar; they make also very good Marmalade.

REMARK III.

The _Calebash_-Tree is nigh as large as the Apple-Tree; it supplies the
Natives and Negroes with Buckets, Pots, Bottles, Dishes, Plates, and
several other Houshold Utensils. One cannot describe the Shape nor
Bigness of _Calebashes_, since there are some of the Size of a Pear, and
others as large as the greatest Citrons; and besides, there are long,
round, oval, and of all Fashions. The Fruit, which is green and smooth
upon the Tree, becomes grey as it dries; within, it is full of a white
Pulp, of no use at all, which they take out through a Hole; the Shells
they put to several Services. The Bark is about one Fifth of an Inch
thick, but very hard, and difficult to break.

REMARK IV.

The _Papaw_-Tree is pretty uncommon as to its Make; its Trunk is strait,
but hollow, and of so tender a Wood, that it is easily cut down with a
Hedging-Bill; it is about four Yards high, without any Branches; its
Leaves much like those of our Fig-Trees, but twice as big, and are
joined to the top by Stalks of a Foot and a half long, and hollow like a
Reed. They being about thirty in number, grow at the top of the Trunk
all round about it; the lowest are ripest and largest, they are green,
and of the bigness of one's Fist. The Pulp
