Pure, native, rack Brimstone- pounded very fine- one, or for a strong Person, 2 spoonfuls of the Powder mix & with a little Rum or Brandy & taken at Night or in the Morning-Brimstone is sulphur.
Lemna was difficult to read but it seems as if a problem with ink made the intial letter faint. Charlotte rewrote the letter.
Lemna is Common Duckweed (Lemna minor) which is rich in oxalic acid.
White Lily is possibly Lilium candidum, the bulbs of which have a long history of medicinal use
