A Laxative Electuary.
Take powder'd Senns, Cream of Tartar, each 4 scruples; Pulp of Prunes passed thro' a Sieve 2 ounces; Syrup of Roses soluble as much as sufficient, mix.
This pleasantly tasted Medicine, lubricates the Intestines, and procures a Stool or two without Sickness or Gripes, and may serve for four Doses to be taken at Night, for which the Party need not keep House the nest day.
