    Epilepsy.—Take 1 ounce each of mistletoe, valerian root, pellitory, and black horehound, boil in 3 pints of »vater, clear off, and when cold, add 1 ounce of tincture of scullcap. Dose—a wine-glassful four times a day. Used with good effect. Ear-Ache.—Rub the ear well with a dry flannel. Excitement.—The common meadow plant, Ladies’ Slip- per, used as tea, is good for spasms, hysteria, cramps, nervous headache, fits, neuralgia, hypochondria, fevers, colic, debility, &c.,and, wherever it is required to quiet the nervous system, is safer than opium and will act where opium fails. Ear-Ache.—The ear should be bathed with a strong decoction of camomile flowers and poppy-heads, as warm as it can be borne. Fevers.—To burn rosemary in the rooms clears fever away; yet, if there be a spider’s web in the house, the fever will linger in it. Fevers.—Scarlet Fever and Scarlatina.—This is one of the most infectious of diseases, and is very catching when it has once entered a house. In the worst ^ stage place a few tamarinds in boiling water, to be drunk moderately cold, which acts as a powerful cleanser, even in putrid fever cases. The drink is delightful to persons parched under heat.
