MEDICAL RECEIPTS. 



For a Child that is stuffed up. 



Take goose oil, or olive oil, rub it up and 

 down on each side of the nose, and round about 

 the eyes. If the child is pressed at the stomach, 

 take a portion of the goose oil, enough to puke 

 it. If the child's difficulty appears to be that of 

 the rattles, or is some like the quincy, take a great 

 spoonful of goose grease and two spoonfuls of 

 chamber lie, (and in the same proportion for a 

 larger quantity) and mix them by warming them 

 on embers, and sweeten it with a spoonful of 

 honey, if you can get it, if not, with molasses, 

 and give it to the child forcibly and sufficiently, 

 pausing now and then to prevent the child's 

 strangling to death. This has caused them to 

 strive and puke up the bladders, whereby the * 

 child was relieved. Repeat it if necessary-. 



For Corns on the Feet, 



Take apple-perue leaves, jam them and rub 

 them on ; or you may sim.mer them down strong 

 in a spoonful of hog's fat, and oint the corns 

 therewith, or bind it on. 



To aire the Asthma. 



Take the bag that holds the musk of a skunk, 

 and hang it up in the room where the person 

 lives — rub it about the mouth and nose, smellinp- 

 of it often — if very bad, take two or three drops
