The children begin to find a pleafure in being paid in hard money, which I underftand they will not give to their parents, but keep to buy cloaths for themfelves. Indeed I found it difficult and tedious to bring them to this, but I believe it will now do. 1 am building a work-houfe for fturdy vagrants, and defign to -raife about two acres of hemp for employing them. Can you put me in a way of getting hemp-feed, or does your fociety diftribute any ? It is hoped your fiax-feed will come in time. Laft poft a letter from an Eng- liffi biffiop tells me, a difference between the king and prince is got into parliament, and that it feems to be big with mifchief, if a fpeedy expe- dient be not found to heal the breach. It relates to the provifion for his R. Highnefs’s family. My three children have been ill; the eldeft and youngeft are recovered j but George is ftill unwell. [Enclofed in the above a Letter to A. B. Efq; from the Querift, contain- ing Thoughts on a national bank, printed in the Dublin Journal.] Ex. 54. Cloyne, Feb. 15, 1741. Mr. Faulkner, the following being a very fafe and fuccefsful cure of the bloody flux, which at this time is 'become fo general, you will do well to make it public. Give a heaped fpoonful of common rofin powdered in a little frefli broth, every five or fix hours, till the bloody flux is flopped; which I have always found be- fore a farthing’s worth of rofin was fpent. If after the blood is flaunched there remains a little loofenefs, this is foon carried off by milk and water boiled with a little chalk in it. This cheap and eafy method I have often tried of late, and never knew it fail. 1 am your humble fervant A. B. Ex. 55. Cloyne, Feb. 24, 1741. I find you have publifhed my re- medy in the newfpaper of this day. I now tell you that the patients mufl be careful of their diet, and efpecially beware of taking cold.
