Seasons, in a way (5)
I believe the answer is:
salts
'seasons in a way' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for salts that I've seen before include "See 25" , "Epsom--; smelling --" , "Old sailors" , "Saline draughts" , "Medicinal compounds; Epsom --" .)
