so sweet cider or a weak solution of alum.

One of the best tonics is the muriated tincture of iron, of which take
twenty or twenty-five drops in half a tumbler of water three or four
times a day. An excellent injection is made by taking three drams of
tannic acid and an ounce of alum, dissolving in a quart of water, and
inject one-third three times a day. The bowels should be kept open by
Rochelle or Epsom salts, or seidlitz powder. When there is great
debility of the organs, or when the disease has been brought on by
exposure to cold, pregnancy, abortions, etc., the following will be
found very successful:

Tincture of aloes, two ounces; muriated tincture of iron, four drams.
Mix. Dose: Thirty-five drops in water three times a day. At the same
time use the following injection: Sulphate of zinc (white vitriol),
two drams; sugar of lead, two drams. Mix in one quart of water, and
use one-fourth for each injection.
