Funny 1728 entries

Here are some odd, humorous, or obsolete entries I've found while reading through the 1728 Cyclopaedia:

Algarot: ... This is also called Emetic Pouder—It purges violently both upwards and downwards.
Burning: in our antient Customs, was an infectious Disease, got in the Stews, by conversing with leud Women.
Camus: a Person with a low, flat Nose, hollow'd or sunk in the Middle ... The wife of the great Cinghis Kam (Genghis Khan), a celebrated Beauty, had only two Holes for a Nose.
Cells: in Anatomy, are little Bags, or Bladders, where Fluids or other Matters are lodg'd. [yes, that's it]
Clitoris: ... In many respects it represents the Penis of a Man; whence some call it the Woman's Yard.
Cloud:
The manner wherein Vapours are rais'd into Clouds may be conceiv'd thus:
Fire, being of a light, agil Nature, easily breaks loose from Bodies wherein 'tis detain'd.
Now, by reason of the exceeding smallness of the Particles of Fire, their attractive Force must be exceeding great: hence, in their Ascent thro' fluid Bodies, part of the Fluid will cling around them, and mount up together with them, in form of Vesicles of Water replete with Particles of Fire; which Vesicles are what we call Vapour... etc.
