and chest. If one way fails try the other. Fora simple cure 
nothing surpasses an infusion of peach bark. Get a few of 
the last year’s growth of shoots, smash them so as to loosen 
the bark, which strip off, fill a jug with them, cover with 
boiling water, infuse one hour, then give a dessertspoonful 
every half hour till vomiting is stopped. We have a tincture 
of the bark, dose half a teaspoonful, or the dry bark 4d per 
ounce. We can strongly recommend our digestive food for 
ordinary cases of vomiting, as it lies on the stomach when 
nothing else will. 
PAINS IN THE OVARIES. 
Many females are troubled with these pains. The location 
is above the groins or bottom of the belly. Five grains of 
salicine three or four times is strongly recommended; taken 
with a little water or in any simple liquid. In addition the 
seat of pain may be painted over with the magic liniment. 
BRIGHT’S DISEASE. 
A complete cure of the chronic form of this disease was 
obtained by seven drops of the fluid extract of Canadian hemp 
(apocynum) three times a day, the dose slightly increased so 
as not to cause vomiting or purging. 
ANTIPYRINE. 
This is anew remedy, resembling quinine. Is has been 
found very valuable for headaches and for reducing the 
temperature in fevers, which it does, keeping it down for 
several hours. The dose is from five to twenty grains. For 
a severe headache eight grains in water usually gives relief. 
THE MICROBE KILLER. 
For curing all disease by killing the germs. That it cures 
all we know is not true, still those who want a microbe killer 
can make one for about 1s. a gallon. Take six to eight ounces 
sulphorous acid, put in one gallon of distilled or rain water, 
dose a wineglass three times a day ; or one ounce solution per- 
manganate of potash in a gallon, same dose, is good and cheap.
