Patients should take the several doses in an equal quantity of warm gruel or barley-water ; or, when the digestive powers are impaired, and flatulent symptoms are present, in Ginger Tea, or good Lisbon, Sherry, or Madeira Wine. The Medicine must be always diluted with one of the above, or some similar liquid. Warm water may be used, in most cases, with equal effect, particularly in Bilious cases. W.B. Persons of dilious habtis, while taking the Cerevisia, should abstain from wineof every kind and malt liquor; using, instead, a small quantity of pure spirit mixed with-cold water that has been boiled, without sugar. When, in any case, the dose proves too laxative, it must either be diminished, or the bowels strengthened by the addition of eight, ten, twelve, or fifteen drops of Tincture of Opium to the evening dose. If, on the contrary, it occasions a costive habit, some mild ‘opening physic (such as Lenitive Electuary, Rhubarb either'in Powder or Tincture or mixed with Manna or soluble Tartar &c. or any other opening Medicine more agreeable to the Patient) should’ be occasionally taken in the morning; omitting the Cerevisia for the time, but taking it again in the evening. . Females under the Fluor Albus, obstructed Menstruation, or other weakening complaint, may begin with one tablespoonful night and morning, gradually increasing the: dose to two, or even . three in obstinate cases; unless it should, as before observed, prove very laxative.—Be particular to notice, that the use of the Cerevisia must be. suspended in all.cases during menstruation. Women with child may take from one to one-and-a-half tablespoonful once a day; and even the child at the breast, when the first milk has not been sufficiently purgative, will be greatly benefited by taking a teaspoonful occasionally in its pap. Pies art ; 5 Persons under the age of fifteen should begin with half-a-tablespoonful evening and morning; gradually increasing the dose to one-and-a-half or two spoonfuls. But, in administering these respective quantities, be governed by the strength and constitution of the young Patient. re Children under three years old, of delicate habits, or very weak and debilitated, should begi with a papspoonful, evening and morning; gradually increasing the dose to two or three. Where a small quantity of the Cerevisia purges,. and the disordér ‘réquires more than can be easily contained in the bowels, every kind of acid must be avoided, especially raw or unripe fruits, salads, cydery sharp wines, punch, &c.; and in cases of great inflammation, all salt and high-seasoned food, as well as strong fermented or spirituous liquors, must be abstained from. - The diet should consist of light animal food, mild vegetables, milk, broth, and light puddings;—the drink, plenty of barley-water, mille-and-water, or clear whey, as the patient’s feelings may dictate. If violent symptoms should at any time occur, as painful ¢wmors, ulcers, or that particular spe- cies of inflanimation of which the Scurvy and Scrofula, &c., are susceptible, a poultice of bread- and-milk, or of linseed-meal, is to be used. All wounds produced by these diseases should be cleansed with warm water, or milk-and-water only, and dressed with a plaster of yellow basilicon, or some other easy digestive, spread as thinly as possible on dry lint or fine softrag. Some diseases (Scurvy especially) will at first appear to be aggravated; but this circumstance, instead of creating disquietude, should be considered as the surest indication of a permanent cure. ‘To ensure a certain, speedy, and permanent cure, the Cerevisia must be taken regularly, keeping the feet warm and dry ; and continued some time after every symptom of disease has disappeared. An additional bottle or two will secure the Patient from renewal of pain, trouble, and expense. > In using the Cerevisia, if the stomach has a tendency to acidity, the UNSWEETENED Medicine is found most efficacious ; and is distinguished by a GREEN Seal on the Cork.
