4.  Roast a large lemon very carefully without burning; when it is thoroughly hot, cut and squeeze into a cup upon three ounces of sugar candy.  Finely powdered:  take a spoonful whenever your cough troubles you.  It is as good as it is pleasant.

CURE FOR DEAFNESS.—­Take ant’s eggs and union juice.  Mix and drop them into the ear.  Drop into the ear, at night, six or eight drops of hot sweet oil.

REMEDIES FOR DIARRHOEA.—­1.  Take one teaspoonful of salt, the same of good vinegar, and a tablespoonful of water; mix and drink.  It acts like a charm on the system, and even one dose will generally cure obstinate cases of diarrhoea, or the first stages of cholera.  If the first does not bring complete relief, repeat the dose, as it is quite harmless. 2.  The best rhubarb root, pulverized, 1 ounce; peppermint leaf, 1 ounce, capsicum, 1/8 ounce; cover with boiling water and steep thoroughly, strain, and add bicarbonate of potash and essence of cinnamon, of each 1/2 ounce; with brandy (or good whisky); equal in amount to the whole, and loaf sugar, four ounces.  Dose—­for an adult, 1 or 2 tablespoons; for a child, 1 to 2 teaspoons, from 3 to 6 times per day, until relief is obtained. 3.  To half a bushel of blackberries; well mashed, add a quarter of a pound of allspice, 2 ounces of cinnamon, 2 ounces of cloves; pulverize well, mix and boil slowly until properly done; then strain or squeeze the juice through home-spun or flannel, and add to each pint of the juice 1 pound of loaf sugar, boil again for some time, take it off, and while cooling, add half a gallon of the best Cognac brandy.

CURES FOR DYSENTERY.—­Tincture rhubarb, tincture of capsicum, tincture of camphor, essence of ginger and laudanum, equal parts.  Mix; shake well and take from ten to twenty drops every thirty minutes, until relief is obtained.  This is a dose for an adult.  Half the amount for a child under twelve years of age. 2.  Take some butter off the churn, immediately after being churned, just as it is, without being salted or washed:  clarify it over the fire like honey.  Skim off all the milky particles when melted over a clear fire.  Let the patient (if an adult) take two tablespoonfuls of the clarified remainder, twice or thrice within the day.  This has never failed to effect a cure, and in many cases it has been almost instantaneous. 3.  In diseases of this kind the Indians use the roots and leaves of the blackberry bush—–­ a decoction of which, in hot water, well boiled down, is taken in doses of a gill before each meal, and before retiring to bed.  It is an almost infallible
