Hollands, Geneva, (F.) Genievre. This spirit, which is distilled from corn and juniper berries, or from some substitute for them, is largely used in Great Britain, and is extremely detrimental, to the lower classes particularly. It possesses the properties of other spirituous liquors, but is diuretic, and, in popular medicine, is more used than other varieties, in cases of colic or intestinal pain of any kind. Schiedam Schnapps is understood to be Hollands of good quality. See Spirit.
