De Aloe Lota & Rosata.

Aloes being washed looseth part of its purgative faculty, and doth more strengthen then purge. Gallen saith it may be given in Feavers, so that the Feaver be gentle, as in a Quotidian Feaver. Gal. de compos. pharmac. fol. 710.

Aloe Rosata is a Medicine very safe and gentle, it may be given to all sorts of persons, before or after meat. It purgeth the sto∣mach of Choller and other offensive humours, openeth stoppings, is good in the Jaundise, and strengthneth the stomach, and is thus made.

Take of pure Aloes in powder four ounces, of the juice of Da∣muske Roses clarified, one pound, mix them together, and digest in the Sun, or in a Bath, till all the moisture be exhaled or taken away; then infuse it again in so much more of the juice, and eva∣porate away the juice again: doe thus four times, then keep the masse or lump for your use.
