Tartar half an ounce, Mace two scruples and an half, Ginger, Cinnamon, of each a drachm and an half, Sal gem one drachm, beat it into pouder according to art.
Culpeper] A. This Pouder purgeth melancholly, and clense the head; Montagnanus was the Author of it, only the Colledg something altered the quan∣tities of the Simples: the following pouder works somthing violently by reason of the Scammony that is in it, this is more gentle, and may be given with∣out danger, even two drachms at a time to ordinary bodies. I would not have the unskilful meddle with the following. Neither is it fitting for weak bodies and children; such as are strong may take a drachm, or a drachm and an half, mixing it with white Wine; let them take it early in the morning after they are up, and not fleep after it for fear of danger; two hours after let them drink warm posset drink, and six hours after eat a bit of warm Mutton, let them walk about the chamber often, and not stir out of it that day.
