1074 EBCIPES AND PRESCEIPTIONS.

 and are both tonic and nervine. 



This recipe is from Dr. Johnson, Atlanta, Ga., who gave it to Mr. Wm. An- 

 drus, and he to Grandine & Hinman, druggists in Battle Creek, Mich., his succes- 

 sors in business, who have used it among their friends and customers with univer- 

 sal success. It is undoubtedly the best remedy for headache known to the profes- 

 sion. 



During a chance conversation with one of the above firm in relation to the 

 prescriptions for tape-worm and hydrophobia, given in other pages of this book, he 

 referred to this recipe as invaluable for cure of headache, and referred to a large 

 number of cases ho knew to have been cured by it. Assured of its value, with the 

 hope of being able to help those so unfortunate as to be subject to sick-headache, I 

 made a special request for a copy of it, which was kindly granted. As this pre- 

 scription cannot be put up by small country druggists, we would advise having it 

 put up by the above firm. They are perfect gentlemen, and stand very high for 

 integrity. This is not an advertisement, and is mentioned for the special benefit 

 of friends who may need the medicine. It will cost 11.50 to fill the prescription.

 to fits terribly, being in a fit sometimes, Mr. Hoyer stated, for two 

 hours. Dr. Failing, of Royalton, next town, obtained the above 

 remedy in Canada, which cured the boy in six months. Mr. Hen- 

 derson, hotel keeper of Otisco, N. Y., claimed to have been cured 

 by this prescription, also three others met by the writer in Central 

 New York. 



Cure of Carbuncle. 



Take a cow's horn, scrape off" about a handful of fine shavings, 

 and apply to the enlargement. Continue repeating until there is 

 relief. This is regarded specific, and gives relief in two or three 

 days. 



Mr. McCombs, of Hot Springs, Ark., who gave it to me, referred 

 to a number of bad cases cured. One especial case was that of a 

 man who liad a very bad carbuncle, of week's duration. He was 

 recommended to use this. His doctor found it on, and took it ofi*; 

 but the patient had another poultice put on. The effect was so 

 good, that the doctor, next time, said he might keep it on. The 

 experiment Avas so marked a success that he adopted it as his 

 method of treatment.
