The Colledg] Take of white Poppy heads, meanly ripe and newly gathered, twenty, steep them in three pound of warm spring water, and the next day boyl them till the vertue is out, then strain out the Liquor, and with a sufficient quantity of good Sugar, boyl it according to art that you may make it into Lozenges.

This Receipt is transcribed verbatim from the Augustan Physitians, though the Colledg (through forgetfulness or something else) hide it, the vertues are the same with the common Diacodi∣um, viz. to provoke sleep and help thin Rhewms in the head, coughs and roughness of the Throat, and may easily be carried about in ones pocket.
