Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
Hypocistnoun
Hypocist is an inspissated juice in large flat masses, considerably hard and heavy, of a fine shining black colour, when broken. It is brought from the Levant, sometimes from France, and other parts of Europe. The stem of the plant, from which it is produced, is thick and fleshy; and, what is singular, much thicker at the top than towards the bottom. The fruits contain a tough glutinous liquor, which are gathered before they are ripe; and the juice is expressed, then evaporated over a gentle fire, formed into cakes, and dried in the sun. It is an astringent medicine of considerable power. John Hill Mat. Med.
