Boil good Turnips in Water, and having exprest the Juice, mix with it as much finely pouder'd Sugar-candy as will bring it into a kind of syrup, of which let the Patient swallow a little as slowly as he [or she??!!] can from time to time.

Well, lets see, shall we Sue!! For Strengthening the Bowels. Take Cloves or Chives (not Bulbs) of Garlick, and let the Patient from time to time swallow one or two, without chewing. There.....that's better, isn't it??! Merry |

Roll Up!!!! Roll Up!!!!...........I am in possession of a book called ''Medical Experiments: or a Collection of Choice and Safe Remedies''.........''For the most part Simple, and easily Prepared: Useful in Families and very Serviceable to Country people''...........By the Honorable R Boyle Esq, Fellow of the Royal Society. The first edition was printed 18th Nov 1691 and my copy is a second edition, 1693. It belonged to one of my ancestors, but I'm not sure who??? ..........If you would like to tell me how you are suffering, I will endeavour to supply you with a remarkable cure from this little book!!!! All sorts of conditions are included ............To start us of, I thought I would give you a cure for failing eyesight, seeing as we all spend far too much time staring at this little screen!!........See below in a mo.........Merry x |
