Rub the throat well with camphorated oil, and gargle frequently with a strong solution chlorate of potash.—Mrs. S. T.
For Sore-Throat.
Carbolic acid, fifteen grains; chlorate potash, thirty grains; rose-water, one and a half ounces; glycerine, one-half ounce. Use as a gargle, three or four times daily.—Mr. E. C.
A Cure for Epilepsy (one I have known to succeed in many cases).
Procure the fresh root of a white peony. Scrape and cut in pieces an inch square. Eat one three times a day, never taking any food after four P.M. Use a month, stop two weeks and begin again. The best way to keep the root is to string it on a cord. The red peony will do, if you cannot get the white.—Mrs. R. C.
Cure for Cramp.
Wet a cloth in spirits turpentine and lay it over the place where the pain is felt. If the pain moves, move the cloth. Take five drops spirits turpentine at a time on white sugar till relieved.—Mrs. R.
For Cramp-Colic, or Pain Resulting from Disordered Bowels.
One teaspoonful paregoric, one teaspoonful Jamaica ginger, one teaspoonful spirits camphor, one-half teaspoonful carbonate soda, two tablespoonfuls water, two tablespoonfuls whiskey. This is for one dose. If it does not relieve in an hour, repeat.—Dr. J. T. W.
For Chilblains.
