Dose. Take one-half of a teaspoonful of it, and a spoonful of sugar, and put 

 them into a teacup, and pour it half full of boiling water; let it stand a few minutes 

 and fill the cup with milk, and drink freely. If no milk is to be obtained, fill up the 

 cup with hot water. This, in the first stages, and less violent attacks of disease, is a 

 valuable medicine, and may be safely employed in all cases. It is good in relax, pain 

 in the stomach and bowels, and to remove all obstructions caused by cold. A few 

 doses of this, the patient being in bed with a steaming stone at the feet, or having 

 soaked the feet fifteen or twenty minutes in hot water, drinking freely of the tea at 

 the same time, will cure a bad cold, and often throws off disease in its first stages.
