INTRODUCTION. 



made of the Juicd of the wild Lettuce, is an ex- 

 cellent Medicine j the Syrup of Diacodiumy which 

 is made of a ftrdng Decoftion of Poppy Heads^ 

 is a little Wronger .than this ; dnd if fomfething 

 more powerful than thefe is required, there is the 

 afthmatic Elixir. One or other of thefc may al- 

 mofl on every Occafion ferve the Purpofe ; and 

 it is almoft impoffible that the Ule of them 

 Ihould be attended with Danger. I would there- 

 fore ^dvife, that Opium or Laudanum be \txy 

 rarely ufed : Perhaps it might be Well to fay, 

 not ufed at all, for the others will be able in al- 



moft all Cafes, if not univerfalfy^ to anfwer th8 

 Purpofe.
