Regal Diacinamon.

Take of the best Cinamon four ounces, three Nutmegs, of our Syrup of Cinamon as much as will suffice. Make it into an Electuary, to which add Confectio Alkermes an ounce, Oyl of Cinamon half an ounce, Amber Muskified, Troches of Pearls, of each a dram; Leaves of Hunga∣rian Gold thirty one. Mix them, and so make a Royal magnificent Medicine, which reserve for use.

Virtue, Use, and Dose. It is of a hot quality: It comforts the Brain and Heart above measure; it discusseth the vitious humors of the Stomach, and helps Concoction; it helps the Syncope and Palpi∣tation of the Heart; it resists the inflation and swel∣ling of the Stomach, and dissipates wind. It allays Page  43 the Colick-pains proceeding from a cold Cause, and it sweetens the Breath. It resists all putrefaction. It is very agreeable to old people who are cold and de∣bilitated, and in whom the native Balsam, and na∣tural heat are lessened and impaired. It doth won∣derfully recover strength, increase Seed, and pro∣motes the strength of Procreation; it excites to Ve∣nery, and much sweetens the pleasure thereof, and safely increaseth the motion thereunto. The Dose in the morning fasting, and in the evening at going to bed, is the quantity of a Hazel-nut more or less, according to the Complexion and Sex of the Patient.
