to three gallons; strain the liquor while warm 

 through a moderately fine cloth, and when cool^ 

 add one t|uart of No. 6, one quart of good whis-

 use; half the quantity, or any other portion may 

 be made by observing the above direction, but it 

 is much better to make about this quantity, as it

 and bad digestive powers, will be doing them- 

 selves a great service, by making use of the above

 The dose for a grown person, is one table- 

 spoonful, three times a day, morning, noon, and 

 night, on an empty stomach; more or less may 

 ht taken, according to the age, constitution, & hab- 

 it of the person, & it should be regulated accord-
