18th Century Cold Tablets
"Take pearls, crab's-eyes, red coral, white amber, burnt hartshorn, and oriental bezoar, of each half an ounce; the black tips of crabs-claws three ounces; make all into a paste, with a jelly of vipers, and roll it into little balls, which dry and keep for use."
-From the 15th edition of The Compleat Housewife or, Accomplish'd Gentlewoman's Companion, a 1753 cookbook compiled by Eliza Smith and published in London.
