HOW TO PRODUCE SWEATING. 



Perspiration. Colds may be "broken up," by a good "sweat" 

 that would otherwise terminate in a long run of fever. Common reme- 

 dies are usually at hand; and it is only necessary to know how to use 

 them. Take a sweat as soon as a cold is noticed. 



Boneset Tea. A valuable remedy that can be always at hand. 

 Gather the boneset while in blossom or procure at the drug-store. 

 2 ounces Boneset, 



1 quart Boiling Water. 



Boil for half hour. Take four table-spoonfuls as hot as possible every 

 thirty minutes. This will produce a profuse perspiration, 



Sweating Tea. This will produce sweating in many of the most 

 obstinate cases. 



2 ounces Pleurisy Root, 



3 Pints Water. 



Simmer for half hour. Take a tea-spoonful as often as the stomach 

 will bear it. 



Sweating Drops. Take a tea-spoonful of peppersauce upon sugar 

 before going to bed. Cover up warm, and a good sweat will be the re- 

 sult. 



EMETICS. 



Common Bmetic. An emetic that can be obtained at a moments 

 notice is sometimes essential. This may be obtained at almost any 

 home, and is a reliable emetic. 



2 tea-Bpoonfuls Common Salt, 

 2 tea-spoonfuls Mustard. 

 1 glass Warm Water. 



Drink all the stomach will take. 



Knietic Syrup. This is a valuable emetic, and a family having 

 children should never be without a bottle of this syrup. 

 1 ounce Simple Syrup, 



1 ounce Wine of Ipecacuanha, 



2 ounces Water. 



Mix and take from one-half to one ounce every quarter hour till 

 vomiting takes place. For a child give twenty drops or more according 

 to age
