A compound of aromatic substances in various shapes, used as a fumigating material when set fire to See Fumigation. The French use the term Pastille, (L.) Pastillus, for a solid, dry, round, oblong, square, or triangular compound, whose base is essential oil, and sugar the excipient. These pastilles are in fact small lozenges, and only differ from the tablette in their smaller size. They are termed, also, Saccharoles solides.
