An Irish Version of Gualterus de Dosibus (Author: Walter de Agilon/Galterius Agilinus)

paragraph 86

Electuary of sugar of roses is indicated for inflammatory gout. It purges the choleric humors, and natural choler. For that reason it relieves complaints of the joints caused by choler, also persons recovering from tertian fever. Note particularly that the dosage of these compound medicines is varied according to the larger or smaller quantity of scammony, and of other potent and virulent medicines such as hellebore, turpeth, agaric, euphorbia, colocynth, aloes, and the like which enter into their composition.
