 " Year's Mi»d," on which a service in church or chantry-chapel was performed for the soul of some

5" Manus Christi." A kind of lozenge, composed of white sugar, rose-water, and powder of 

 pearls, cast into little cakes and gilded : on wbite paper anointed with oil of sweet almonds. Tbe 

 virtues of this innocent preparation were supposed to be considerable. For example, in Turner's 

 Herbal, an old quaint work of 1568, — " A Receipe for the ' Fever quotidian, or dayly Fever : ' Take 

 the best aqua vite tbat ye can get, half a pound : put therein the whitest Mary of Walwurt that ye 

 can get, two unees : let it stepe therein 3 dayes, and give the patient thereof to drink. But marke 

 well. If it would chafe him too much, then temper him the drinke wyth a litle other wyne or drinke, 

 and give him sometime Manus Christi."
