A GOOD WAY TO CAUSE CHILDREN
TO CUT THEIR TEETH WITHOUT PAIN.
Boil the brain of a rabbit and rub the gums of the children with it, and
their teeth will grow without pain to them.
FOR VOMITING AND DIARRHOEA.
Take pulverized cloves and eat them together with bread soaked in red
wine, and you will soon find relief. The cloves may be put upon the bread.
TO HEAL BURNS.
Pound or press the juice of male fern, and put it on the burnt spots and
they will heal very fast. Better yet, however, if you smear the above juice
upon a rag, and put it on like a plaster.
VERY GOOD CURE FOR WEAKNESS
OF THE LIMBS, FOR THE PURIFICATION
OF THE BLOOD, FOR THE INVIGORATING
OF THE HEAD AND HEART, AND
TO REMOVE GIDDINESS, ETC.
Take two drops of oil of cloves in a tablespoonful of white wine early in
the morning, and before eating anything else. This is also good for the
mother-pains and the colic. The oil of cloves which you buy in the drug
stores will answer the purpose. These remedies are also applicable to cure
the cold when it settles in the bowels, and to stop vomiting. A few drops of
this oil poured upon cotton and applied to the aching teeth, relieves the
pain.
FOR DYSENTERY AND DIARRHOEA.
Take the moss off of trees, and boil it in red wine, and let those who are
affected with those diseases drink it.
