"Paregoric Exilr" is camphorated tincture of opium, also known as tinctura opii camphorata. <img src="https://huntroyd.co.uk/files/square_thumbnails/skull.jpg " alt="alt text on image " style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="any" height="any" />Methodist church founder John Wesley suggested a tincture of 6oz salt water, two drams of volatile aromatic spirit, and ounce of Florence oil and half an ounce of sugar- but suggested replacing the volatile spirit with a mixture of camphor and opium for better results! Needless to say I can't recommend you trying to make or ingest this poison. It could kill you. I did say that the well-to- do, in some cases, had some excellent ways of killing themselves and their children and needless to say he was not a physician or doctor. <img src="https://huntroyd.co.uk/files/square_thumbnails/skull.jpg " alt="alt text on image " style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="any" height="any" />Syrup of Poppies is another name for Opium. It is potentially lethal. The 'Leeds Intelligencer' on Tuesday 12 July 1791 (p3), reporting the death of a baby from a misjudged dose of the medicine, said that; "...opium, laudanum, nay even Godfrey's cordial, syrup of poppies, and poppy tea, are deleterious poisons, and there is reason to fear that the lives of some, and the constitutions of many children, fall a sacrifice to such medicines, when imprudently administered." "Strangeness & heat of Urine" possibly refers to cystitis and urinary infections.

It is potentially lethal. The 'Leeds Intelligencer' on Tuesday 12 July 1791 (p3), reporting the death of a baby from a misjudged dose of the medicine, said that; "...opium, laudanum, nay even Godfrey's cordial, syrup of poppies, and poppy tea, are deleterious poisons, and there is reason to fear that the lives of some, and the constitutions of many children, fall a sacrifice to such medicines, when imprudently administered." Pellitory of Spain is a small Mediterranean edible and aromatic plant, Anacyclus pyrethrum, the root of which contains an oil formerly used to relieve toothache. Calamus was largely grown from time immemorial for its rhizomes in the East and the Indian rhizomes were imported extensively long after it was common in Europe.      If the Calamus of the Bible is this plant, Exodus xxx. 23, Canticles iv. 14, and Ezekiei xxvii. 19, are the earliest records of its use.       The Calamus aromaticus of the Ancients is thought by some to be a plant belonging to the Gentian family, though the description of the plant 'Acoron,' a native of Colchis, Galatia, Pontus and Crete, given by Dioscorides and Pliny, seems to refer to the Sweet Flag.      It is now found wild on the margins of ponds and rivers in most of the English counties, and is in some parts abundant.

By the time of the Renaissance, blood-letters (often barbers in Europe), had the practice down to a science of sorts. Zodiac charts determined the best times of year for letting blood from different parts of the body.      Medical tomes distinguished between diverting blood flow (bleeding the right arm to staunch a bloody left nostril, for example) and encouraging it (bleeding the foot to draw menstrual blood down). The barbers used lancets and fleams -- small double-edged blades that came with pocket-sized, often tortoiseshell carrying cases.      When George Washington died after falling ill with laryngitis his physicians bled him heavily, one after the other. The president gave up more than two litres of blood during the procedures and died a day later. Historians dispute whether it was the loss of blood or other complications that actually killed him. A Burgundy Pitch Plaister is made from a yellowish brown or reddish brown hard viscous resin obtained as an exudation from the Norway spruce and used formerly in medicinal plasters . <img src="https://huntroyd.co.uk/files/fullsize/skull.jpg" alt="alt text on image " style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="200" height="188" />This mercurial medicine is quite frightening, even if the metal mercury is less toxic. It is made to disperse the stuff as finely as possible for best absorption.      Mercury chloride, also known as calomel or mercurous chloride, has been used in traditional medicine as a diuretic, topical disinfectant, and laxative.       It has other names  as mercuric chloride or corrosive sublimate and  was also used to treat syphilis (along with other mercury compounds), although it is so toxic that sometimes the symptoms of its toxicity were confused with those of the syphilis it was believed to treat. It is also used as a disinfectant.      Blue mass, a pill or syrup in which mercury is the main ingredient, was prescribed throughout the 19th century for numerous conditions including constipation, depression, child-bearing and toothaches.      In the early 20th century, mercury was administered to children yearly as a laxative and de wormer, and it was used in teething powders for infants. The poisoning is unpleasant. The psychological symptoms associated with mercury poisoning inspired the phrase "mad as a hatter". Toxic effects include damage to the brain, kidneys and lungs. Symptoms typically include sensory impairment (vision, hearing, speech), disturbed sensation and a lack of coordination.
