I understand "other such things" as something similar, such as anything that contains the same ingredients at the same or at other concentrations (Vicks™, for instance). Ginger is a way different thing, no matter if it produces similar effects. IMHO "Other such things" refers to the very essence of the thing, not to the effects it has Ginger is not a cream nor is it mentholated, hence placing it outside the "such things" domain even if the resulting effects are similar to the long list of products containing menthol.
