- Tar_water abstract "Tar-water was a medieval medicine consisting of pine tar and water. As it was foul-tasting, it slowly dropped in popularity, but was revived in the Victorian era. It is used both as a tonic and as a substitute to get rid of \"strong spirits\". Both these uses were originally advocated by the philosopher George Berkeley, who lauded it in his tract Siris, a chain of philosophical reflections and inquiries, concerning the virtues of tar-water.The use of tar water is mentioned in the second chapter of Charles Dickens's Great Expectations. Young Pip and his brother-in-law, Joe, were often force fed it by Mrs. Joe, Pip's elder sister, whether they were ill or not, as a sort of cruel punishment.The physician Cadwallader Colden extolled the virtues of pine resin steeped in water. This concoction also was called \"tar water\".In the introduction of his Journal of A Voyage to Lisbon Henry Fielding considers tar-water a panacea for treating dropsy: \"But even such a panacea one of the greatest scholars and best of men did lately apprehend he had discovered [...]. The reader, I think, will scarce need to be informed that the writer I mean is the late bishop of Cloyne, in Ireland, and the discovery that of the virtues of tar-water\". By the Bishop of Cloyne, Fielding refers to the above-mentioned philosopher George Berkeley.".
