    Typhus Fever.—For typhus fever, mix together three drachms of liquid acetate of ammonia, two drachma of syrup of ginger, one ounce of cinnamon water, and thirty drops of laudanum. This draught to be given early in the evening, when the most beneficial effects will result to the patient, who can procure sleep by no other means. Thirst.—For extreme thirst, drink a tumbler of cold water with a spoonful of vinegar in it. Tan Water applied will cure a saddle sore, or other sores horses are subject to. To drink immediately before a meal is a practice not to be recommended, because it stretches the stomach, and makes it less fit for performing its office; to drink much during a meal is also objectionable. TT ‘ \ Ulcers.—For ulcers, piles, or smallpox, the free use of the plant, tormentil, made and used in the manner of tea, sweetened with honey, is a valuable remedy. Ulcerated Throats.—Ulcerated throats are cured by one drachm of tincture of steel and one drachm of chlorate of potash to ten ounces of water, to be used as a gargle. Urine Obstruction.—Drink freely of warm lemonade and dandelion tea mixed in equal quantities ; for incon- tinence of urine, use a drink made from isinglass only.
