Old Saint Paul’s

BOOK THE FIRST
121/210

First of all, there are plague-lozenges, composed of angelica, liquorice, flower of sulphur, myrrh, and oil of cinnamon.

Secondly, an electuary of bole-armoniac, hartshorn-shavings, saffron, and syrup of wood-sorrel.

Thirdly, there is a phial labelled _Aqua Theriacalis Stillatitia_--in plain English, distilled treacle-water.
