Hippophilus. / ^ray^ what is that thing you call Cordial Powder, 

 and whereof ii it made ? 



Hi])foferHs. Cordial Powder hath not its name for nought, for 

 its nature jumps right with its Epitheton : this we have alfo from 

 the French^ who ufe to give it to their iick Horles which are 

 far Ipent and enfeebled with a Confumption in the fleflj^ Uver^ 

 &c. for it is a moft.reltaarative Cordial^ comforting the vital 

 farts^ ^nd f^irits animal, and reftoreth it to Sanity : and thns 

 it is made. 

 Corcfia! Take Cinnamon and Sugar, of each four ounces, and of 

 Powder, £j^g Bclearmoniack two ounces : let aH thefe be made into ve-

 known by the name of Ele^uarium. Theriacnm, by reafon it hath

Take Sirrup of Violets, Sirrup of Lemons, Sirrup of Rofes, 

 of each half an ounce, adding thereunto of your belt London 

 Treacle one ounce, mingle them well together, and it is a moffc 

 fovereign Cordial to be adminiftred unto Horfes which are dan- 

 geroufly fick and weak. 



Hippophilus. Why do yon rather chufe London Treacle before 

 Venice Treacle, Treacle of Genoa, or our common Treacle ? 



fJippof. This London Txtzdt I do feled for all medicines for 

 Horles, rather than any other Treacle whatfoever by reafon it 

 worketh the beft with them of any other, for Venice Treacle i 

 ^d Genoa^2xt too hot j and your common Treacle is nothing ' 

 all worth, it being made only of the drofs and excrements of ( 

 MoUffts, which is none other thing than the drofs of the refin-
