Appendix: Table of Medicinal Ingredients

The ingredients listed in The Ladies Dispensatory are representative of the wide variety of simple and compound pharmaceuticals available in the mid-seventeenth century. This table contains an alphabetical list of ingredients in the classification format used by the College of Physicians in the 1653 edition of the Pharmacopeia Londinensis: or the London Dispensatory.1 This system divided medicinal preparations broadly into simple and compound medicines (see Introduction). These categories were then subdivided further into categories such as roots, woods, barks, herbs, and seeds for the simples, and types of medications for the compounds. To facilitate a comparison of these ingredients with other seventeenth-century texts, superscript notations have been added to indicate ingredients used in the following sources:

The 1633 edition of Gerard’s The Herbal (G John Gerard, The Herbal or General History of Plants. The Complete 1633 Edition as Revised and Enlarged by Thomas Johnson.

The Old List, an English translation of the 1618 Latin edition of the Pharmacopoeia, is indicated by*, whereas the modified New List is indicated by+.
