1116 APPENDIX. 



sistency of a thick gruel, and ate it with my breakfast and dinner. The third dose 

 "brought the "varmint," though I persisted in taking three more doses, so as to be 

 sure to get away the head and neck, which was about the size of a darning-needle. 

 Unless that came away, it would grow again. The dose above named will cause 

 some pain as a physic, but it is in no way dangerous. It is. a poison only to worms.

Cure for Headache. 



Ferrocyanate of quinine, 60 grains ; valerianate zinc, 20 "grains ; solid extract 

 hyoscyamus, 20 grains. Make into 20 pills. Take one pill' three times a day, be- 

 fore meals, for three days ; then stop three days, unless it is about time for the re- 

 turn of the headache; in that case, keep right on with the pills. These pills are 

 harmless, and are both tonic and nervine. 



This perscription was given to a patient by one of the leading physicians of the 

 county. It was obtained, by the author, of Orandine & Hinman, druggists, Battle 

 Creek, Mich. They state that it is above price. A large number 1 of cases cured by 

 it are referred to by them. 



To Cure Fits. 



Put as much valerian root and the castor, or wart, from a horse's leg (which is 

 to be cleaned and cut into small pieces), as will be digested, in a pint of whisky. 

 Dose : three teaspoonfuls a day, and repeated, until a cure is effected. A son of 

 Mr. Hoyer's, of Shelby, Niagara County, N. Y., twelve years old, was subject to ter : 

 rible fits, being in a fit sometimes, Mr. Hoyer stated, for two hours. Dr. Failing, of 

 Royaltown, next town, obtained the above remedy in Canada, which cured the boy 

 in six months. Mr. Henderson, 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. 



To Stop Hair Falling Out. 



The following has proved a valuable remedy. 



Fill a bottle with lobelia roots and stems, and cover well With good whisky, and 

 let stand until digested ; then strain off the liquor and add any scent desirable. Wet 

 the hair, rubbing well into the scalp with the' fingers once a day for a week or two, 

 repeating afterward as may be found necessary. 



Years ago the writer's hair was falling out rapidly ; being noticed by a stranger, 

 he advised the above dressing, saying his hair was falling out rapidly, and it not 

 only stopped falling out, but had grown in thick by this remedy,' and he r would war- 

 rant it to do so in my case. It was immediately used as directed, with the most sat- 

 isfactory results. 



Years afterward his hair commenced falling out again ; about. what would be' 

 supposed an equivalent of the tincture of lobelia was used ; a little castor oil was 

 added, scented with bergamot, and used as a dressing ; the effect seemed to be the 

 same as before.
