Bring wine and essences, electuaries and ambergris, if the refectioner have any with him. |
The company was created in 1668 by German apothecary Friedrich Jacob Merck, who bought Angel Pharmacy, or Engel Apotheke, to hawk his herbs, lozenges and electuaries. |
An endless series of powders, theriacs, electuaries, leeches, mixtures and tablets of various types, decoctions, ointments and plasters were discussed and classified. |
These were often prepared as electuaries, soft substances designed to be licked in the same way that nougats are. |
