2. Analeptic Electuary.
Take powder'd Chocolate 2 ounces; Juice of Kermes strain'd half an ounce; Ambergrise (ground with a little loaf Sugar) 8 grains; Oil of Cinnamon 1 drop; Oil of Nutmeg 2 drops; Syrup of Balsam 2 ounce; or as much as needs to give it a due consistence, mix.
It nourishes and strengthens, repairs the wasted Flesh, recruits lost Spirits, and brings assistance in pining Consumptions. But I have sometimes observ'd it fate too heavy upon weak Stomachs.
Let half an ounce be taken at 8 in the Morning, and at 4 in the Afternoon, drinking after it Asses Milk.
