Medical memoranda and extracts: in Latin

The extracted receipts appear to be all from medical authors of the second half of the 17th century: the date 1682 is found on p. 44. On p. 94 is a receipt from Thomas Tryon's [1634-1703] 'Way to Health': this was first published in 1683, a second edition appeared in 1691. The title as given above is written-by a later hand-on the outside of the lower cover.
