Daffy's Elixir, and Directions for administeriog. 



This is as useful a medicine as any that can be 

 kept in a house, for either man or horse. A grown- 

 up person may take two table-spoons full, either

 and in phlegmatic habits of body. The proper 

 dose for a horse is, in general, half a pint, mixed 

 in the same quantity of gruel. Its further use 

 may be seexi in (No. 102, p. 156), and (No. 104, 

 p. 159.)
