33 READY DOCTOR.

For a CONSUMPTION.

DOIF or Date Stones, a handful brayed to Pouder and drunk in Wine, is very good : But, best of all, Bleed in the Legs, make a Pouder of the Blood, and drink it. You may depend upon this being a sure Remedy, if you take only a Mutchkin of Goat Whey at once, twice a-day, for Fourteen Days; add to each Draught as much of the Blood Pouder as will ly on a Silver Sixpence, Probatum eft

For a CHOLERIC COLIC.

TAKE of Cork Pouder 1-2 oz. Fresh Butter 1-2 oz. compound them together, and use as much in a day, causing it serve Morning, Mid-day, and Evening: This must be done for Nine Days running. For an addition you may take a Glass of Port Wine once a- day during the time of your Cure. Probatum eft.

For COLD S. IF the Cold be new, take a Glass full of Highland Whisky and Oat Meal, once in the Morning, and once in the Evening, for three days. And if the cold be old, make Brochin, or Cruel, of Oaten Meal, pretty thick, about a Choppin, add thereunto 1-2 lib. of Treakle, and drink it when going to bed : Or Spanish Juice, called Black Sugar Liquorace, eaten and chewed, is good : And 1 oz. of Sugar-Candy brayed with 1 oz. of Permacacti, and eaten, is nothing behind either of them. Probatum eft.
