Title
The Huntroyd Receipts. Folio 2. The Medicine Pages.
Subject
The "medicines" of Folio 2.
Description
Page 32 was the final recipe page in the folio. The folio was then turned upside down and writing started from the other end. In a normal book this would be Page 78. Page 78 is the rear cover of the folio. The pages will still follow on from Page 32 but we will show them the right way up to make it easier to read.
DANGER!
DANGER!
Do NOT under any circumstances try out any of these "medicines".
The plants and ingredients may be toxic or fatal.
