NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Henry Jacob Jordan, do hereby
declare the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same

page_text: is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:
The Invention of an improved medicine for the cure of venereal
affections, communicated to me, and which I denominate the treisemar,
consists in the combination of the materials herein-after given, com-
pounded and prepared in the form of a lozenge or other convenient
form for administering it to the patient.
The following proportions are for one dose, which is to be repeated
four times a day :-I take of powdered henbane leaves one grain; of
compound tragacanth powder, one drahn; of nitrate of potash, six
grains; of tartrate of patash, one twenty-fourth part of a grain; and
of bicarbonate of soda, six grains. These ingredients are to be pounded
and mixed intimately together, and afterwards mixed with a sufficient
quantity of sugar to make a lozenge.
Instead of taking the medicine as a lozenge, these ingredients may be
dissolved in boiling water, and taken as a draught when cold, or the
lozenge itself may be so dissolved and prepared.
This medicine is applicable for the cure of gonnorrhoea, gleets, and
all other venereal affections.
irregular urethral discharges.
It is also applicable for the cure of all
When manufactured in the form of a lozenge the different in-
gredients are proportioned for each, and the whole moulded and
pressed into form, as well known in the lozenge manufacture.
For the more advanced stages of the disease I slightly increase
the quantities for a dose, taking care to maintain the same relative
proportions.
As before mentioned, the dose is to be taken four times daily,
and, being pleasant to the taste in the shape of a lozenge, they may be
so eaten, or they may be dissolved in half a pint of boiling water, and
drank when cold.
There is no occasion to make any alteration in the diet of the
patient, as animal and vegetable food may be taken as usual, but all
kinds of wines, spirits, and malt liquor must be avoided. Tea, linseed
tea, and barley water should be taken in considerable quantities.
Having described the nature of the Invention, and the manner of

page_text: performing the same, I would have it understood that I claim to be
protected under the herein-before in part recited Letters Patent
the Invention communicated to me of the medicine herein-before
described for the cure of venereal affections and all irregular urethral
discharges.
In witness whereof, I, the said Henry Jacob Jordan, have here-
unto set my hand and seal, this Fourth day April, in the year
of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and fifty-four.
