Dutch or Flemish apothecary's reference pocketbook with recipes, remedies, and customers' names, all written in Dutch. The majority of the recipes and remedies relate to women's illnesses and the plague. The final notes are of money owed by patients. Since the amounts are given in different currencies, it suggests the owner was itinerant. One full page drawing depicts a distillation apparatus.
