DICTO DE MEDICINIS EVACUANTIBUS phlegma et melancholiam dicendum est de medicinis evacuantibus coleram: i.e. having spoken of the medicines which purge phlegmatic humor, and melancholia, it is meet to speak of the medicines which purge choler such as diaprunis, and electuary of sugar of roses. Diaprunis is so called because it contains more of the fruit known as prunes than it does of any other ingredient. It purges choleric humors of the stomach and liver, and for that reason it is administered for true tertian fever, and inflammation of the liver.
