拍品專文

Unguentum aregon, described by William Salmon in his New London Dispensatory of 1678 as a 'helpful' ointment (derived from the Greek to help or to succor), was used as a nerve restorative. An earlier work by Nicholas Culpeper, Pharmacopoeia Londinensis describes further applications including "some purging quality", treatment for joint pain and convulsions but overall did not "much commend it".
