It had a variety of uses including the promotion of sleep and the treatment of the plague. In his London Dispensatorie of 1654, Nicholas Culpeper wrote, "it is a well composed Electuary, a something appropriate to the nature of women, for it Provokes the Terms, hastens their Labor, helps their usual sickness at the time of their Lying-in, I know nothing better... It may be safely given to young children ten grains at a time, ancient people may take a dram or more".

A late 17th Century Lambeth Delft wet drug jar, the globular body with an angel with spread wings over a label inscribed S:MORORVM I.G, the ends of the ribbon with crab-like claws and on a spreading foot, height 20cm, A/F A jar of similar form and similarly decorated is illustrated in English Delftware, F.H.Garner & Michael Archer, 1972, pl. 37 There are over a dozen possibilities for the abbreviation 'S' but as this is a wet drug jar, sirop is the most likely, mororum is the mulberry tree of which the bark and fruit are used. The 'I.G' is an abbreviation for Infusum Galenus (Galen of Pergamon, to whom is credited the Four Humours, the imbalance of which demands restoration with the correct drug). I.G has formally been attributed to an unknown pharmacist. Provenance - Purchased at Sotheby's Belgravia, Lot 236 on 18 January 1972 (one of two)
