    Jordans Medicine for the Cure of Venereal Affections. WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters Patent, bearing date the Ninth day of October, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and fifty-six, in the twentieth year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the said Lewis Jacob Jordan, Her special licence that I, the said Lewis Jacob 5 Jordan, my executors, administrators, and assigns, or such others as I, the said Lewis Jacob Jordan, my executors, administrators, and assigns, should at any time agree with, and no others, from time to time and at all times thereafter during the term therein expressed, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and 10 Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for “ A Medicine por the Cure op Venereal Affections,” upon the condition (amongst others) that I, the said Lewis Jacob Jordan, my executors or administrators, by an instrument in writing under my, or their, or one of their hands and seals, should particularly describe and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, 15 and in what manner the same was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed in the Great Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next and immediately after the date of the said Letters Patent. HOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Lewis Jacob Jordan, do hereby declare the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be 20 performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:— My Invention of a medicine for the cure of venereal affections which I denominate the “ treisemar,” relates to the combination of materials herein¬ after determined, compounded and prepared in the form of a lozenge or other 25 convenient form for administering it to the patient. It consists of a certain combination or certain combinations of the following ingredients or materials as a medicine, which is applicable for the cure of gonnorrhoea, gleets, and all venereal affections, urethral discharges, and generative debility. To prepare this medicine I use sulphate of zinc, nitrate 30 of potash, tragacanth powder, powdered henbane, tartrate of potash, bicar¬ bonate of soda, and sugar, which I combine and use in certain proportions. The proportions subjoined are for one dose, which should be repeated four times daily. I take of sulphate of zinc, one fourth part of a grain ; of powdered henbane leaves, one grain; of compound tragacanth powder, one dram; of 35 nitrate of potash, six grains; of tartrate of potash, one twenty-fourth part of a grain, and of bicarbonate of soda, six grains. I reduce these ingredients to a fine powder, combine them intimately together, and afterwards mix them with a sufficient quantity of sugar to make a lozenge.
