A Stomachic Electuary.
Take conserve of red Roses and Roman Wormwood, each 1 ounce and half; conserve of Mint, yellow Orange peel, green Ginger, Venice Treacle, each half an ounce; long Pepper 24 grains; Oil of Cinnamon 4 drops; Oil of Cloves 2 drops; Syrup of Quinces sufficient to make it up, mix.
When we would have Electuaries (or Powders) remain good a while in the Stomach, its best to give them alone, without a Liquid Vehicle, and permit no sort of Drink that may wash them off in an hour after. Upon this account also its requisite, that such Electuaries be made of a grateful Taste, and soft Consistence, that they may be the better swallow'd down.
It corrects the coldness, crudity and laxity of the Stomach, breaks off Wind, restores Appetite, helps Digestion, cures Vomiting. Let the quantity of a Walnut be taken an hour before Meals for an Appetite, and just after Meals for Digestion.
