These are, 1. Lilium paracelsi, called by Stahl tinctura antimonii acris et alkalinus, tinctura antimonii spuria of Cartheuser. 2. T. antimonii rubra of Roger Bacon. 3. T. vitri antimonii of Lemery, and his T. antimonii diaphoretic!. 4. T. ex regulo antimonii martiali; the antidotospantagogos of Schroeder. 5. T. antimonii Brixii. 6. T. antimonii nigri (mineralis amara ) of Ur-biger. 7. T. Antimonii saponata Schulzii. 8. T. antimonii Thedenii. 9. Oleum vitri antimonii, quinta essentia antimonii of Basil Valentine. 10. Antimonii febrifu-gum, magisterium antimonii, arcanum, elixir, balsamum, oleum sulphuris, et clyssus, antimonii, of the same author. 11. Acetum philosophorum exantimonio. 12. Aqua stimmi tartarea of Schroeder. 13. Spiritus antimonii compositus of the same author; Sp.bezoardicus Bussii; Sp. vitrioli philosophicus of Lemery. 14. Sp. salis antimoniaci of Basil Valentine. 15.
