physician, are said to be a sure cure
for pneumonia. The remedy is as
follows: Take six or ten onions, ac-
cording to size, and chop fine, put
in q large pan over a fire, then add
the same quantity of rye meal and
vinegar enough to make a thick
paste. In the meantime stir it thor
oughly, letting it simmer for five
or ten minutes; then put in a cot
ton bag large enough to cover the
lungs, and apply to chest as hot as
the patient can bear. In about ten
