The greater Cordial Pouder. Fern.

The Colledg] Take of the Roots of Tormentil, Dittany, Clove-gilliflowers, Scabious, the seeds of Tormentil, Coriander prepared, Citron, Carduus Benedi∣ctus, Endive, Rue, of each one drachm; of the three sorts of a 1.1 Sanders, Been white and red, (or if you can∣not got them, take the Roots of Avens and Tormen∣til in their steads) Roman b 1.2 Doronicum, Cinnamon, Cardamoms, Saffron, the flowers of both sorts of c 1.3 Bugloss, red Roses, and Water-Lillies, Wood of A∣loes, Mace, of each two scruples, Ivory, Spodium, Bone of a Stags heart, red Corral, Pearls, Emeral'd, Jacinth, Granate, of each one scruple, raw Silk d 1.4 tor∣refied, Bole Armenick, Earth of Lemnos, of each half a drachm; Camphire, Amber-greese, Musk, of each 〈◊〉〈◊〉 grains; beat them into pouder according to art, and with eight times their weight in white Sugar, dis∣solved in Rose-water, you may make them into Lozen∣ges, if you please.

Culpeper] A. Both this and the former Pouder, are apropriated to the heart, (as the titles shew) ther∣fore they do strengthen that and the vital spirit, and relieve languishing nature. All these are Cordial Pouders, and seldom above half a drachm of them gi∣ven at a time, I suppose more for the cost of them than any ill effects they would work, they are too high for a poor mans purse, the Rich may mix them with any cordial Syrup or Electuary which they find apropriated to the same use these are.
