A double Infufion of Camomile in Brandy, drain’d 
out, and rubb’d on every Night, the whole Length 
of the Vertebra of the Back, is very ferviceable to 
weak Children which cannot walk. Two or three 
Spoonfuls of the Juice with a few Drops of Spirit of 
Vitriol, given in Broth juft before the Fit, often 
prevent it, and cure the Fever. The Ancients 
commend Camomile againft bilious and hypochon- 
driac Fevers, and the Egyptians ufed it againft all 
Fevers. A Decodtion of Linking Camomile (Co tula

with Hyftop and Butter, eafes a Pain of the Breaft 
much from violent Coughing : A Drop or two 
of its Chymical Oil on Sugar is a fure Diaphoretic, 
gives Eafe in the Cholic, or Stone, expels Wind, &c. 
but in many Cafes the fimplc Herb, or Flower, is 
preferable : A Bath of the boil’d Herb takes of all 
Fatigues, is friendly to the Nerves and Mufcles, 
eafes moft outward or inward Pains, allays Inflam-
