The New English Dispensatory by William Lewis (1753)

NewDispensatory

In this 1753 edition of The New English Dispensatory a simple Stomach Julep (Julepum Stomachicum) appears with some fascinating ingredients: a saffron syrup made with sherry, spirit rectified with mint, and a non-alcoholic mint distillate.

From this recipe you can well imagine why it’s worth flipping through the pages upon pages of medicinal simples compiled original by John Quincy and later improved upon by William Lewis to inspire your mad-scientist aspirations.
