Alexiterial Stone.

Take Amber, red Coral each half a dram; diaphoretic Antimony, Contrayerva root, Crabseyes, each 1 dram; Crabs-claws half an ounce; levigate all upon a Marble, till it be an exquisitely fine, and impalpable Powder; which make up into little Balls, with gelly of Harts-horn; to these may be added Amber-grise 12 grains.

It is not so chargable as Powder of Crabs-claws compound; because it hath neither Pearl nor Bezoar, and yet perhaps is a composition inferior not much to it.
