is another good remedy to compose a nervous man for the rising of 

 a cock pheasant. Fisher and Co., in Conduit Street, make this in

 and nothing has yet been found more efficacious. After clearing the

 fit ; and continue it, three times a day, for nearly a week after the 

 appearance of the disease has subsided. The dose is sometimes in- 

 creased to ten grains thrice a day, and there is no danger resulting 

 from an overdose, [I insert these directions, precisely as they have 

 been forwarded to me, under an idea that nothing could be more 

 desirable for a work that professes to treat chiefly on wildfowl shoot- 

 ing, tlmn a recipe for the ague.]
