# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Indigestion

Edition of 1802.
​INDIGESTION, or Dyspepsia, a complaint which chiefly consists in the loss of appetite, and is generally attended with nausea, flatulence, vomiting, heart-burn, costiveness, as well as other unpleajsant symptoms, without any immediate affection either of the stomach or other parts.
Indigestion arises from a variety of causes, such as the eating of hard, unwholesome food, and unripe fruit; drinking too large draughts of liquor during, or immediately after dinner; the immoderate use of opium, and of spirits; taking too large quantities of tea, coffee, or any warm relaxing liquors; tampering with emetics or laxatives; the want of free air and exercise; and in consequence of indulging in any of the depressing passions.
Persons of weak, delicate habits, particularly the sedentary and studious, are frequently subject to indigestion. A radical cure of it can be effected only by removing the debility of the stomach and whole system. With this intention, emetics, or gentle purgatives, should be previously administered, in order to clear the alimentary canal. Next, tonics, such as valerian, Peruvian bark, &c. may be resorted to with advantage; and, if the complaint be accompanied with putrid eructations, or other signs of putrescency, it will be advisable to take the strongest antiseptics, especially the marine acid or spirit of salt, sufficiently diluted with water. Many, however, have been effectually cured by the liberal use of cold water alone. In great laxity of the stomach, considerable benefit has been derived from the use of the columbo root, in small and frequent doses.—The chalybeate waters are, to phlegmatic habits, in general, of great service; and the moderate drinking of sea water has often been productive of good effects.
Medicines, however, will be of ​little or no advantage, unless the patient take moderate and daily exercise in the open air, and endeavour to preserve a cheerful, contented mind. Early rising ought to form an indispensable part of his attention; while his diet should consist principally of solid, but tender aliment, which he, from experience, has found easy of digestion.

# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Ginger

Edition of 1802.
​GINGER, the Common, or Amomum Zingiber, L. is a native of the East Indies, whence it was transplanted by the Spaniards to the West India Islands, from which Europe is chiefly supplied with its spicy root.
Ginger is a perennial shrub, which grows about a yard high; it was introduced into England in the year 1731, and is still reared in the gardens of the curious. Its propagation is effected by parting the roots in the spring, planting them in pots of light rich earth, and placing them in a hot-bed of tanner's bark, where they are to remain.
The dried roots of this plant are either white, from the lime employed to prevent their destruction by vermin; or blueish, brown, or black, according to the soil in which they have been cultivated: they are of eminent use, both for culinary and medical purposes, affording one of the most wholesome and agreeable spices. Hence ginger in entire pieces is often boiled in beer, and drunk by persons who are obliged to spend part of their time in cold, open air. It is more immediately serviceable in cold flatulent colics; in laxity and debility of the stomach and intestines, especially in torpid, phlegmatic constitutions; in order to induce a brisker action of the vessels; tor it is not so heating as the spices of the pepper kind, though its effects are more durable.
Ginger-bread, is a composition prepared of flour, and sugar or treacle, to which is added a certain proportion of ground ginger, whence it has received its name.
Ginger-bread, well baked, may occasionally be of service to travellers, if a small portion of it be taken early in the morning, and on an empty stomach, but it ought seldom, or very sparingly, to be given to children, whose stomachs it materially injures, especially when ornamented with leaf-gold, as it is erroneously called; though the glittering bait consists of Dutch gold, that is, brass or copper reduced to the fineness of gold-leaf, and which is one of the most vehement poisons. From this fruitful source arise gripes, obstipations of the bowels, obstructions of the mesenteric glands, and other fatal ​disorders that frequently torment infants, and which there is great reason to fear, have carried many helpless victims of indulgence to an untimely grave.—Parents, therefore, cannot be too watchful in this respect; and it were much to be wished, that the pernicious practice of gilding ginger-bread might be prohibited, by public authority.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Ginseng

Edition of 1802.
​GINSENG, or Panax quinquefolium, L. is an exotic plant growing wild in North America.
The dried root of ginseng, as imported into this country, has a mucilaginous, sweetish taste, similar to that of liquorice, but accompanied with some degree of bitterness, and a slight aromatic warmth, with very little odour. The Chinese ascribe extraordinary virtues to this plant, and consider it as a sovereign remedy in almost every disease to which they are subject. No proofs, however, of its wonderful efficacy have occurred in Europe. Nevertheless, it is often used as a tonic, antispasmodic and stimulant, in doses from 20 to 60 grains, in powder.—Nor do we believe that the celebrated ginseng tea possesses any peculiar properties, excepting those of a nauseous taste and loathing, while the warm water swallowed with it debilitates the stomach.

# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Gin

Edition of 1802.
​GIN, sometimes called Geneva, or Hollands, is a malt spirit distilled a second time with the addition of juniper-berries.
These berries were at first added to the malt before it was ground; so that the spirit obtained from both, by distillation, possessed the aromatic flavour of the berries, and was much superior to that produced by any other method. At present, the juniper-berries are totally omitted; and the noxious spirits vended under the name of gin, acquire their flavour by distilling them with oil of turpentine, the taste of which in a slight degree resembles that of the juniper-berries, but possesses none of their valuable properties.
This pernicious spirit is subject to very heavy duties; ​notwithstanding which, the odious practice of drinking it has increased to so great a degree, that we apprehend neither duties nor penalties will impede its progress. Nor is it immediately confined to the poorer class: persons whose stations in society require a very different conduct (and among these may be ranked too many of the softer sex), defile their mind and constitution by this vicious and vulgar custom. Independently of the disorders occasioned by the drinking of gin, it generally makes such ravages on the countenance, as to destroy that grace for which British women have been celebrated. Such, however, is the prevalence of habit, that gin-drinking will never be effectually abolished, or at least re-banished to the apothecaries' shops, which formerly enjoyed the exclusive privilege of selling that liquor, till the duties imposed on it become so heavy as to preclude its disposal in drams: and we trust that every impartial person will cordially unite with us in wishing, that the day may not be far distant, when indulgence in this vice will be regarded with universal detestation.

# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Gilead

Edition of 1802.
​GILEAD, the Balsam, or Balm of, is a gummy substance that exudes from the bark of the Amyris Gileadensis v. Opobalsamum L. a native of Arabia Felix.
The balsam formerly imported into Europe, is obtained chiefly by incision; but the quantity afforded by one tree is so very small, and the collecting of it is attended with so much trouble, that the genuine balm is seldom, and perhaps never exported in a commercial way. It is of a bitterish aromatic taste, an acidulous fragrant smell, and of a yellowish or greenish colour.—Among the Turkish women, it is in high reputation, both as a cosmetic and as a specific for almost every disorder; on which account it is valued at so extravagant a price, that it is extremely difficult to procure it in a genuine state, because it is presented only to Sovereign Princes. Hence, in this country, it is now entirely superseded by the balsams of Canada and Copaiba, which are equally efficacious. We have inserted this account, with a view to caution and undeceive the credulous, who may be apt to imagine that any base compound offered to the public, under specious pretensions, is the real Balm of Gilead, which is frequently mentioned in Scripture.
# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Terni

See also Terni on Wikipedia; Terni in the 11th edition; and the disclaimer.
TERNI, a town of Italy, in the province of Perugia, is situated in the fertile valley of the Nera, between two branches of that river, about 5 miles below the point where it is joined by the Velino. It has a station, threequarters of a mile off, on the railway line between Rome and Ancona, 69 miles to the north of the former city and 19 south by west from Spoleto. Terni is an episcopal see, and the seat of a sub-prefecture and a chamber of commerce. Its public buildings include the cathedral (17th century), the church of S. Francesco (partly dating from the 13th century), a gymnasium, and a theatre. Terni manufactures leather and cloth, and has some trade in wine and silk. For the traveller its chief interest lies in its antiquities (remains of an amphitheatre of the time of Tiberius, a temple, a theatre, baths, and numerous inscriptions) and in the proximity of the falls of Velino (Cascate delle Marmore). Alike in volume and in beauty these take a very high place among European waterfalls; the cataract has a total descent of about 650 feet, in three leaps of 65, 330, and 190 feet respectively. They owe their origin to M'. Curius Dentatus, who in 272 B.C. first opened an artificial channel by which the greater part of the Lacus Velinus in the valley below Reate was drained. The population of the town in 1881 was 9415, with its suburbs 10,371 (commune, 15,853).
Terni is the ancient Interamna ("inter amnes"), originally belonging to Umbria and founded, according to a local tradition, in the year 672 B.C. It early became a flourishing municipium, and it did not permanently suffer through being portioned out among his soldiers by Sulla. Its inhabitants had frequent litigations and disputes with their neighbours at Reate in connexion with the regulation of the Velinus, the waters of which are so strongly impregnated with carbonate of lime that by their deposits they tend to block up their own channel. The first interference with its natural course was that of M'. Curius Dentatus already referred to. In 54 B.C. the people of Reate appealed to Cicero to plead their cause in an arbitration which had been appointed by the Roman senate to settle disputes about the river, and in connexion with this he made a personal inspection of Lake Velinus and its outlets. In the time of Tiberius there was a project for regulating the river and its outlets from the lake, against which the citizens of Interamna and Reate energetically and successfully protested (Tac., Ann., i. 79). Similar questions arose as the river formed fresh deposits during the Middle Ages and during the 15th and 16th centuries. A branch of the Via Flaminia passed from Narnia to Forum Flaminii, and is given instead of the direct line in the Antonine and Jerusalem itineraries. The emperor Tacitus and his brother Florianus were probably natives of Interamna, which also has been claimed as the birthplace of Tacitus the historian, but with less reason. Terni was the scene of the defeat of the Neapolitans by the French on 27th November 1798.

TERRACINA , a town of Italy, in the province of Rome, and about 60 miles to the south-east of that city, at the south-east extremity of the Pontine marshes, where the Monti Lepini (see Italy, vol. xiii. p. 438, and Latium) descend into the sea. The ancient town (Volscian Anxur, Roman Tarracina) stood on the white hillside ("impositum saxis late candentibus Anxur "), along the foot of which, by the seashore, ran the Via Appia. The modern town stands mainly on the level ground. The most conspicuous building is the cathedral, which is believed to occupy the site of a temple of Jupiter Anxurus; it is enriched both externally and internally with beautiful old columns and Roman mosaics. Above the town, on the summit of the cliff, are the remains of a palace of Theodoric (c. 500), afterwards a mediaeval castle. The ancient harbour, con structed by Antoninus Pius and once very important, is now silted up; a new mole affords shelter to coasting vessels. Fishing is carried on, and there is some trade in the produce of the district. The population of the town in 1881 was 6294 (commune, 8572).
Anxur finally became Roman in 400 B.C., and a colony was established there in 329. Its strategic position early gave it military importance; and its pleasant situation and its mineral waters led many Romans to build villas and seek seaside quarters there.

TERNATE, a small island in the East Indian Archipelago, off the west coast of Jilolo (q.v. in 0° 48’ N. lat. and 127° 19′ E. long. It is nearly circular in form, with an area of about 25 square miles, and consists almost entirely of a very remarkable volcano (5600 feet) formed of three superimposed cones. Frequent and destructive eruptions have taken place. Cocoa-nuts, sago, tobacco, cotton, sulphur, and saltpetre are the chief pro ductions of the island. The clove, which had been extirpated by the early Dutch rulers to enhance its value by restricting its cultivation to the Banda Islands, Amboyna, &c., is beginning again to be grown, as also is the nutmeg. The inhabitants are nearly all Mohammedan Malays. The town of Ternate, with a population of about 9000, is the seat of a native sultan and of a Dutch resident; the harbour is commanded by a fort. The residency, which includes a part of the eastern coast of Celebes (see Celebes), the greater part of Jilolo, and numerous smaller islands, has an area of 26,900 square miles and a population estimated at about 290,000.

TERPANDER, a Lesbian poet and musician, settled in Sparta about the end of the Second Messenian War (668 B.C.). According to some accounts, he was invited thither by command of the Delphian oracle to compose the differences which had arisen between different classes in the state. His innovations in music were considered to have inaugurated a new era of musical art in Greece; but we are very imperfectly informed as to their nature. On the strength of a fragment (No. 5 in Bergk), which may or may not be genuine, "rejecting the four-toned song, we will sing to thee new hymns with the seven-voiced lyre," Strabo says that he increased the number of strings in the lyre from four to seven; others take the fragment to mean that he developed the citharoedic nomos (sung to the accompaniment of the cithara or lyre) by making the divisions of the ode seven instead of four. We possess six short fragments of poetry in the Dorian dialect bearing the name of Terpander. They are from hymns to the gods Zeus, Apollo, Apollo and the Muses, the Dioscuri, &c., and are written in a slow spondaic movement or in dactyls. They present no remarkable features and are probably spurious.

TERRANOVA, or Terranuova, a seaport town of Sicily, on a hill at the mouth of the Terranova, in the province of Caltanisetta, and 411/2 miles east-south-east from Girgenti. It contains a castle and several large churches, but has little to interest the traveller. Though the harbour is poor, there is a considerable trade in corn, wine, fruit, sulphur, and soda. Cloth is manufactured to a small extent. The population of the town in 1881 was 16,440, that of the commune 17,173. In and near Terranova are the remains of the ancient Gela (q.v.). The modern town owes its origin to the emperor Frederick II.

TERRE HAUTE, a city of the United States, in Harrison township, Vigo county (of which it is the county seat), in the western part of Indiana. It is situated in 39° 27′ N. lat. and 87° 54′ W. long., at a height of 492 feet above the sea, upon the east bank of the Wabash river, 186 miles nearly south of Chicago and 73 miles west-south-west of Indianapolis. The city stands upon level ground, about 60 feet above the ordinary surface of the river. It is regularly laid out, with wide streets, lined with shade trees; its principal buildings are the State normal school and the Polytechnic Institute. Six great railroad lines pass through Terre Haute, connecting it directly with the cities of the Mississippi valley. This fact, together with its proximity to the coal-mines of Clay county, has greatly promoted its growth as a manufacturing centre. It had in 1880 a population of 26,042, as against 16,103 in 1870.
