/ Honifed at the rspidity with which eur sol
/ dleTs die IN camp, we are tempted to give them
/ the following recipes, the result of some expe-
! renee, in hopes that some may be saved by us
ing remedies, simple, safe, and generally sure
cures;
To PREVENT STCKEEss.-Having a Jug OF
salted vinegar, seasoned with pepper, and take
mOuthful before going to bed. The salt and
vinegar make near approach 20 the digestive
gastric Juice Of the stomach, and are besides an
| tdotes to many Of the vegetable and missmstic
poisons.
For PNEUMONIA, COLDS AND CoUGHs.-
Take half a cup or less of the sailed pepper vim
egar, fill the cup nearly full Of warm water, and
then stir IN raw wel-beaten egg slowly. Take
mOUthtul every fifteen or twenty minutes in
the intervals slowly suck on 3 piece cf alum
Ii the attack is violent, dip cloth in hot salted
pepper vinegar and apply it round the throat
cover with dry clothes to get up steam, and do
the same to the chest.
For CHILLS.-Put a tablespoonful of salted
pepper vinegar in a cup of warm water, 20 to
bed and drink in two hours drink cup of
strong wateT-Willow bark tea; in two hours
more another tablespoonful of the vinegar and
warm water, and SO on, alternating until the
fever is broken up. After sweating, and before
going into the outdoor air, the body ought al
ways to be wiped of with cloth dipped in cold
water. Dogwood viii do if water-wilIow can
not be obtained.
FoR MEAsLEs.-Put a small piece of yeast
IN tumbler OF warm SWeetened water, let It
draw, and drink a mouthful every fifteen or
twenty minutes, and drink plenifully of cold
or hot catnip balsam, hoarhound, OF alder tea
and use in place of oil or salts, one tablespoon
tul molasses, one teaspoonful lard, and one tea
spoonful salted pepper vinegar, melted together
Tai a
Ty-keep out Of the wet and outdoor air
For DIARRHEA.-A teaspoOnful Of the sailed
pepper vinegar every one or two hours Take
a teaspoonful Of the yellow pufs that grow
round oak twigs, powdered fine; take twice q
day in one tablespoonful of brandy, wine or
cordial If the yellow puffs cannot be found,
suck frequently on piece OF alum. The guam
tty Of alum depends upon the severity of the
attack take slowly and little at a time.
For CAMP FEyERs.-One tablespoonful of
salted. pepper vinegar, slightly seasoned, and
put into a cup Of warm water-drink freely and
often, from four to eight cuptuls day, with
fever or without fever. Pour a cupful. more or
less, Of the salted pepper vinegar into cold
water, and keep the body, particularly the
stomach and head, well bathed with a cloth
dipped IN it. Give enemas of cold water and
for oil use a tablespoonful molasses, a teaspoon
ful lard, and a teaspoonful pepper vinegar,
melted together and taken warm. If the pep
per is too exciting for delicate patients, leave it
out in the drinks and bathings, and use simply
the salt and vinegar in water, and very little
salt.
ANrIDoTB FOR DRUNKENNESS: FOR THE
BENEFIT OF OFFCERs.-One cup of strong
black coffee, without milk or sugar, and twenty
drops Of laudsuum. Repeat the dose if neces-
sary. Or take one teaspoonful of tineture To-
bella in a tumbler Of milk; if taken every ten or
fifteen minutes it win act as an emeiic; taken in
long intervals, say thirty minutes it viii act as
an antidote. The Yankees declare thatpoisoned
liquors was put on the counters in Newburn 20
poison their soldiers. Nobody doubts the liquor |
being poisoned, Bat It i1as made Of poiSOns to
sell to oar O10n Southern boys; and it is horTify
ing to think Of the liquors now being made down |
in cellars, of "sulphuTic acid, strychnine, buck
eye, tobacco leaves, eoloring matter and rain |
water" For this poisoned liquor, the best anti |
dotes is an emetie, say lobela and warm salt and
water, and then drink freely of sugared vinegar
water
For SNAKE BITEs-The best thing is one
teaspOOnful of lobehs and ten drops of ammo |
MIA, taken every few minutes, and bottle filed |
with lobelia and ammonia, stopped with thepalm
Of the hand and warmed in painful Of hot wat |
er; then apply the bottle to the bite, and it will
draw out and antidote the poison. Either of
these, ,.lobelia or ammonia, will answer without
the other. Tobacco, OF nightshade. kurtle burr,
or deer tengue, Ga Tound-leafed herb, in flower
and appearance Ike a hog artichoke) stewed in
milk; drink the milk, using the rest as a poul-
tee The last is an Indian remedy, and will
cure in the agoniesof death.
For THE CHICKEN CHOLERA, NOW De
VASTATING FoWLDOM.-Put one or two Jimp-
ston OF Jamestown weed leaves, properly called
Strsmonium, into the water-trough every day
fresh leaves and fresh water This is one Of
the triumphs Of Homeopathy, for we were just
from parusal Of one Of their works, and find
ing that the chickens died and made no signs
Of sickness, except holding the head down We
concluded the head must be the seat of the
plague, and reading that stram0nium affected
the brain with mania aud stupor we tried it,
and have not lost chicken since the using.
if other papers win copy these recipes, they
VIII save many lives, now sacrificed to the neg
ligencs of salaried physicians. The eastern
monsrch's plan ought to be adopted, 70 strike off
a certain per cent Of a DOCTORS salary every
time he loses patient--that would soon stop
the feast of death X.
