RECIPE No. 19. 



• 



Aniseeds, fresh powdered one ounce ; 



Carraway-seeds, ditto. one ounce ; 



Coriander-seeds, ditto. half an ounce ; 



Ginger, ditto. half an ounce ; 



Grains of paradise, ditto. half an ounce ; 



Treacle, two table-spoonsful ; 



Fresh butter, a lump the size of a walnut. 



Put the ingredients into a pitcher, and pour upon them a pint 

 of boiling ale. Cover all down till new-milk warm, and then 

 give it. 



This will be found an excellent drink to remove 

 indisposition and flatulency in the stomach ; it also 

 strengthens the stomach, and by promoting the diges- 

 tive process — the best method of preserving health 

 in young animals — restores the appetite, and secures 

 health. 



IV.— HOOSE, or COUGH. 



Cause. — Exposure to cold, moist atmosphere, or an 

 insufficiency of wholesome food. It generally attacks 



the herb, and suffering it to stand awhile, covered closely, to ex- 

 tract the principal strength of the herb. If the quantity be more 

 than the tea-pot will contain, a clean jug will answer the same 

 purpose, the top being covered over with a doubled cloth. When 

 the infusion cools to about new-milk warmth, it may be poured 

 off for use.
