send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters
Patent, bearing date the Nineteenth day of November, in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and fifty-five, in the nineteenth year of Her
reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me,
the said Jeanne Barbe, Vo Lopez, Her special license that I, the said Jeanne
Barbe, Vo Lopez, my executors, administrators, and assigns, or such others as
I, the said Jeanne Barbe, V° Lopez, 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 Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for
"AN ANTIBILIOUS POWDER," upon the condition (amongst others) that I, the
said Jeanne Barbe, Vo Lopez, by an instrument in writing under my hand and
seal, should particularly describe and ascertain the nature of the said Invention,
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.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Jeanne Barbe, Vo Lopez, do hereby
declare the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement thereof, that is to say :-
The Invention consists in the preparation of an improved antibilions powder
possessing peculiarly beneficial properties. The powder is prepared by mixing
in a mortar about one pound and a quarter (troy) of calcined magnesia, with
an equal weight of finely reduced white sugar. When the two substances are
intimately mixed, I pass them through a sieve; a fourth part of the mixture is
then put in a jar, and twenty-five drops of essence of aniseed poured upon it,
and the whole thoroughly incorporated. Another fourth part of the powder is
then taken and incorporated with the portion thus treated with aniseed by
rubbing the substances between the hands. The third and fourth portions are
successively treated in a similar manner to the second portion, so as to obtain

page_text: thorough incorporation of the whole. The powder thus produced may be
forined into lozenges or pills by means of gum water in the usual way, and in
either case should be kept in well-stoppered vessels.
Ilaving now described the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner
the same is to be performed, I would have it understood that what I claim is,
the composition of an antibilious powder, as herein-before described.
In witness whereof, I, tho said Jeanne Barbe, V° Lopez, have hereunto
set my hand and seal, this Fourteenth day of May, in the year of
our Lord One thousand eight hundred and fifty-six.
JEANNE BARBE, VEUVE LOPEZ. (L.S.)
