AMBER-SEED, or Musk-seed, is a seed somewhat like the millet, of a bitterish taste, and brought dry to us from Martinico and Egypt.—The Egyptians use it internally, as a cordial, to fortify the heart, stomach, and head, and to provoke lust—It gives a grateful scent to the breath, after eating; but is not proper for those who are inclinable to vapors.
