Samuel Johnson's Dictionary

  1. Hartshornnoun

    Hartshorn is a drug that comes into use as many ways, and under as many forms, as any one in the whole materia medica. What is used here are the whole horns of the common male deer, which fall off every year. This species is the fallow deer; but some tell us, that the medicinal hartshorn should be that of the true hart or stag, called the red deer. The salt of hartshorn is a great sudorifick, and the spirit has all the virtues of volatile alkalies: it is used to bring people out of faintings by its pungency, holding it under the nose, and pouring down some drops of it in water. John Hill Mat. Med.

    Ramose concretions of the volatile salts are observable upon the glass of the receiver, whilst the spirits of vipers and hartshorn are drawn. John Woodward, on Fossils.

  2. Hartshornnoun

    An herb. Robert Ainsworth
