Confectio Pectoralis, or a Pectoral Electuary.

Take our species of Diasulphur nineteen drams, Diar∣rhodon Abbatis eleven drams, of our simple Pectoral Sy∣rup a pound, Conserve of red Roses tinctured with our Elixir of Sulphur two pound, Oyl of Cinamon a dram. Mix them, and make an Electuary according to Art.

Virtue, Use, and Dose. It is a very pleasant Medicine to the Sight, Taste and Smell; and is by me used in the Asthma, straitness of the Breast, Phthisick, He∣ctick, and all affects of the Thorax, in which cases I have experienced its wonderful power beyond o∣ther Medicines, and am willing to communicate it to be used by others. It is to be given a little at a time, and often in the day, and not to swallow it presently; for if so, then it passeth to the Ventricle, and not to the place affected. The dose is the quan∣tity of a Hazel-nut, or of a Nutmeg, more or less, according to the Disease and Age of the Patient.
