FARCY. 145 



Honey sufficient to make a mass ; divide in^o a dozen 

 equal balls, and roll up in liquorice or aniseed 

 powder. 



These remedies are founded upon a sys- 

 tem of certainty to effect all that alteratives 

 can do; and are directed in such proportions 

 as may be given with the greatest safety, and 

 calculated to bear some additions to tlieir 

 more active ingredients, at the discretion of 

 the prescriber, should an unexpected resist- 

 ance render it necessary. And upon the in- 

 troduction of such additions, and a perse- 

 verance in the alteration for a proper length 

 of time, should the whole mass prove so vi- 

 rulently corrupted as to display no sign of 

 submission to such treatment, there can be 

 no doubt but death would put a very desir- 

 able period to the business, and had much 

 better be solicited than rejected.
