From my own experience in the the use of the raspberry for 

 several years past, I must acknowledge that I have found it one of 

 the most valuable medicines in use. I have administered it in hun- 

 dreds of cases, and never found any deleterious or bad effects from 

 it, taken in any quantity or in any stage of disease. A strong and 

 pleasant tea made from the leaves and given to children afflicted 

 with diarrhoea (or summer complaint so called), I have found it to 

 give more speedy and permanent relief than any other article with 

 which I am acquainted. The addition of a little bark of the myrica 

 cerifera will render it still more effectual. A syrup is prepared 

 from the berries, called the syrup of raspberries. Also a cordial 

 which is a most delicious drink. Various other preparations are 

 prepared from the fruit, which renders it not only useful as a medi- 

 cine ; but extremely delicious when made into preserves.
