He goes on to talk about Tin, and its uses in Napoleans eastward expanision. He continues by explaining Tins importance in the expansion but more so the negatives of Tin. He says the Tin buttons, weapons, and everything Tin would fall apart in the cold into "crumbly nonmetallic gray powder"  basically paralyzing his army.

He goes on to talk about the uses of the two aromas saying the even used the clove smell for breathe "sweeteners". More importantly, he talks about how isoeugenol in nutmeg may have been used as a deterent to the back plague (bubonic plaque) carrier animals.
