FOR PALPITATION OF THE HEART, RHEUMATISM OR HIP 
: . GOUT OR BACK. 
Make a strong tea of bog onion and take a wine-glassful 
three times a day. It will stop palpitation of the haart and 
cure rheumatism. You may add to every quart of the tea 
one-half pound sugar and one-half pint brandy. A plaster 
of Burgundy pitch and beeswax, one-half pound each, two 
ounces mutton tallow and one-eighth ounce eagle oil, makes 
a good strengthening plaster. Or take one ounce spirits tur- 
pentine and two ounces honey, one tea-spoonful morning and 
night. Take a gentle physic: I prefer the Reformed Botanic 
and Indian Physic. Rub the afflicted part with a brush or 
coarse cloth; wet your cloth or brush with a little liniment or 
_ Spirits turpentine.
