For Shortness of Breath
Lady Mary Cosley
one ounce of Adam's Calcind magnesia alba
one ounce of water'd sulphur
made into an electuary with sirrop of ginger
To water the sulphur you must pour bolering water
on it & stir it about, when settled pour it off, &
put boiling water over it again & pour the water
off when settled, do it a third time, then dry it and
keep it in a bottle till you use it. I water half a
pound of sulphur at a time, & pour a quart of boilering
water over it each time.
I take a tea spoonful of the electuary every morning
Lady Mary Cosley
