many cures Of the rheumatism by the
following process: "Make a poultice of
strong mustard, mixed with garlic, vine
gar, and few crumbs OF bread or meat
Colo bed. have plenty of clothes placed
over you to induce perspiration, and
have this poultice, about quarter of an
inch thick, close to the hollow of your
feet (no cloth between feet and poul-
tice keepit on for ten or fifteen hours,
then take off the poultice and the cure
is complete" Get one ounce of iodide
Of potassia, rut it in quart bottle of
soft water, and, take for dose two
thirds of a common sized stem wine
glass three times day, half an hour be-
fore meals. Avoid strong drink and
gross diet. Should the glands of your
nrck get sore, you mustreduee the dose
You must lake regular rest, and take
tour bottles Of the medicine before you
stop, and then quit for two weeks Then
take two bottles more. which will in all
probability complete the cure. Yor
must keep your bowels open. / woulG
