The recipe for scorbutic pills has a lot of Latin terms which probably indicate that this recipe came from a doctor, or from a published pharmacopoeia.
extractum rudice = extractum rudii = extract of rudius or pills or rudius
pillele = pilulae = pills
pillele ruffe = Rufus' pills (pharmacopoeia have recipes for these)
pillele allifingine = pilulae aloephanginae = pills of aloes
