CURE FOR FLUX. | 
Use the cold bath daily, and drink water from the spring ; 
or set over chamomile flowers boiled in milk, and drink two 
or three quarts of warm water; or receive the smoke of tur- 
pentine cast on burning coals. This cures the bloody flux 
and the falling of the fundament. Or put a largé brown 
toast into three quarts of water, with one drachm of cochi- 
neal and-one drachm of the salts of wormwood. Drink it 
_all in as short a time as you can conveniently. This seldom 
~ fails to cure all fluxes, cholera morbus, and all inflammation 
of the bowels. Or take a spoonful of bruised plantain seeds 
in bitter-walnut meat tea, morning and evening till it stops ; 
or the leaves of plantain and bitter-walnut meats boiled in 
broth ; or take four ounces of the juice of plantain and one- 
half ounce of bitter-walnut meats, pulverize and put together, 
and take one spoonful three times a day ; or one nutmeg 
powdered in the yolk of an egg; or one drachm of the seed 
of flux-weed in three spoonfuls of mutton broth, twice a day; 
* or ten grains of ipecacanha three mornings succeani vey: ; or 
boil one pound of the breast of fat mutton in one quart of 
water, drink the broth freely y, and take one-half tea-s poonful 
of bitter-walnut meats powdered fine with loaf sugar, wid 
morning. This will cure the most inveterate flux. 
FOR INTERMITTENT FEVER. — 
Drink warm lemonade on the first symtoms of the fit. It 
cures in a few days. Take blood (say one-half pound) in one 
quart of spirits. Take a tea-spoonfal twice a day, fasting: 
_ Take a tea-spoonful of olive oil well saturated with sulphur, - 
olive oil seven parts and sulphur one part, boiled well together 
in balm tea, twice a day, fasting.
