If a bar should have in every aspect the appearance of good cinnamon, and should be proved indisputably to be the genuine bark of the cinnamon tree, yet if it wants the cinnamon flavour, or has it but in a low degree, we reject it. It is only from use and habit, or comparisons with specimens of known quality, that we can judge of the goodness either of the drugs themselves or of their oils.
