Glass bottle with a glass stopper that is covered with a piece of leather with string wrapped round. Biege powder inside. Label reads "Aromatic Powder". Savory 1836, p. 9:
“Aromatic Confection – Is given, diffused in draughts or mixtures, in the dose of from twenty grains to a drachm, and is a proper addition to aethereal and tonic remedies in low fevers, relaxation of the bowels, and other affections where warm stimulants are indicated.” Bond/Hadlow, <1862, p. 16: “ Aromatic powder. Aromatic Powder is seldom taken by itself, but forms a grateful adjunct to other medicines, and is particularly supposed to correct the nauseous flavour and griping properties if the more drastic purgatives; combined with chalk, it is administered in looseness of the bowels, and to correct acidity and sickness if the stomach.” An 1824 Apothecary's Chart lists an aromatic confection, containing cinnamon bark, nutmeg (whole), dried saffron tips, cloves, cardamom seeds, oyster shell, sugar, al powdered and mixed with water.
