Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos.

By themselves, indeed, they have an odor, but to most persons it is not agreeable even if properly diluted. Thus far only five substances of animal origin are employed in perfumery, namely: ambergris, castor, hyraceum, musk, and civet. Ambergris. Latin???Ambra grisea; French???Ambregris; German???Ambra. This is a substance whose origin is still doubtful; many facts indicate that it is a secretion???whether normal or morbid may be left undecided???of the largest living mammal,namely, of the pot-whale (Physeter macrocephalus). Ambergris is found in the intestines of this animal or, more frequently, floating about in the sea; the shores of the continents bordering the Indian Ocean furnish the largest amount of this peculiar substance. ...
