Remedies for every Day JMaladies.-For fit of
passion walk out in the open mir; you may
speak your mind &c tie winds without hurting
any one, or procaiming yourself simpeon
For fit Of idleness-count the tckings of
clock; do this for one hour, and you will be glad
to pull off your coat the next and work like
negro. For fit of extravaganza and folly-go
to the workhouse. speak with the ragged i'll
mates of a Jail, and you will be convinced of
your insanity. For fit OF amblion-go
into the churcbyard and read the grave
stones; they will tell you the end of ambition.
The grave will soon be your bed chamber, the
earth your pillow, corruption your ialher, and
the worm your mother and your sister. For
fit of repinins--look about for the halt and the
blind and visit the bed ridden & afflicted, and
they will make you ashamed of complaining
of your lighter Affections.
