you as thick as raindrops in an eGuinoc-
tial storm. Each only comes with tro
phies. 1t has cured its scores, and can
cure rything that sneezes.
Let me draw out u system Of treat
ment from the clements which have
been recommended to ME. First,a COM
plete routine of water treatment, in
Guiding hot baths, douches, and wet
packs, with dripping sheet every morn
ing. This is to arouse nature in til,
system and prepare it for thorough,
work.
Next, rs soon is sneezing begins you
should procure catarrh snuff, of which
there are some forty kinds, more or less !;
as you cannot be expected to know
which one is best adapted to your par
ticular case, you had better try them
all. My friend, Mr.. Miller, Fulton ST..
Brooklyn, will procue them for you
with pleasure. He keeps patent med
icine store near Concord street,and will
be happy to show you in his own per-
son the benefits to be derived from let
ting medicine alone:
You will now be in a state to use
pennyroyal. As it grows verywhere
abundantly, do not stint yourself. Get
an armful. Make a strong tea, and
drink it; a strong decoctlon and wash
in it, smell of it, rub your forehead with
the leaves, and if you can, convenient
ly. lie down on it and roll as you have
seen cat do with catnip. Thus far
you have been skirmishing. You will
now proceed to attack the disease in
good earnest. First, take two grains of
blue pills every night alternately for a
week, following it in the morning with
a quart bottle of Congress water [every
drop must be drank, the virtue being
found as cream in milk, ,inlthestrippings].
Mix pint ofsulphur with molasses,a and
take a spoonful morning, noon and
night. On alternate days, two grains
quinine may be ADDED three times q
day, and ten drops of Fowler's solution
[arsenicl continued until sort of puff
ness appears about the eyes.
IL
are faithful, signs of faltering viii soon
appear in your symptoms. You will
lind them much aggravated. Your spir-
its will be quite low. But that only
Shows that the evil spirit is preparing
to leave. Redouble your eNertions.-
Get an inhaler and some tincture of Gu
bebs. Fill tie former with hot water,
and put 4 teaspoonful OF the tincture to
it, and suck like 4 newborn babe
Every tim your eyes ache pour some
tincture of camphor into Il bowl Of hot
water, put a towl over your head and
steam your eyes.
If you can find tuberose blossoms,
keep them by you, and smell of them
often. By this time little tincture of
lobelia inFata, taken four times day, will
contribute to the anomalous sensations
which you will experience. Put chlo-
ride of lime in your sleeping room, and
wash your hands and face several times
a day in solution of it.
If now symptoms of asthma appear,
take courage! The remedies for asth-
ma are innumerabl Your field is Wild
ening! You are now near the end!
1t is true, asthma is not of itself a
luxury. But it leads you to an acquain-
tance with the vegetable kingdom,
which you might have altogether miss
ed. You will be seen wandering around
barn-yards, compost heaps, and old lots
filled with builders debris, hunting for
stramonium leaves, to be dried and
smoked. You will be seen sitting in
room, blue with the smoke of paper sa-
turated with nitre. You will stuff your
pockets with troches and such like small
shot, with which to pepper the enemy.
The vegetable poppy and the plant ipe-
cacuana will now become dear to you.
Only think, the ipecac, quinine.and cot
fee belong to one genus in botany, and
all of them good for asthma, except,
perhaps, the two first.
But it is needless for me to extend
this discourse of remedies. In such a
multitude of them one should beable to
pluck health as boys do whortleberries
on New England hill. If the line
which have laid out be faithfully fol-
lowed, one may expect relief in from
eight to ten weeks. If one is unbeliev
ing and will not touch either of them
he will recover in four to six weeks.
If one subject to the disorder will
about the time of its access, change the
air wholly,by sea voyage, q trip to the
mountains if he lives in the city, OF to
the city if he lives in the mountains, he
will escape entirely.
I once wrote to Oliver Wendell
Holmes as to his knowledge of reme-
dy. His encouraging reply was:
..Gravel is an effectual cure. 1t should
be taken about eight feet eeep.'
