My dictionary (Cassel's Worterbuch) gives it as 'electuary':
("a medicine made by mixing drugs with honey or syrup to form a paste" -
Webster's)
("A drug mixed with sugar and water or honey into a pasty mass suitable for
oral administration.."-- Amer. Heritage)
("a pasty mass composed of a medicine, usually in powder form, mixed in a
palatable medium, as syrup, honey, or other sweet substance: used esp. for
animals and administered by application to the teeth, tongue or gums" --
Random house Dict.)
