e most general
specific in its effects of any medicinal aliment.

This tea affording a compound oil, which is formed of the most aromatic
vegetables the earth affords, it is no wonder its effects, like honey,
should approach so near a general specific. The invaluable oils,
uniting with the sulphurs of the sanative tea, recruit, soften, and
lubricate the juices, diminish the too great elasticity, dryness, and
crispness of the nervous fibres, and afford the exhausted liquids fresh
supplies. Their effects are consequently exceedingly restorative in all
cases, where the force of the fibres and the vessels are too strong,
the circulation too rapid, and the blood too attenuated or diminished;
as it prevents the too quick action of the solids, and the too rapid
motion of the blood, the body is nourished, and the mind prepared for
the refreshment of sleep when the approach of night invites to repose.
In spitting of blood its effects are particularly beneficial. The oil
being easily detached from the earth of the plant is, in such cases,
exceedingly nutritive, and, by its checking the stimulation, and
sheathing the acrimony of the humours, the blood is replenished with
the most healing and balsamic virtues.

In pleurisies, ulcers, and abscesses of the lungs, hectic fevers, dry
coughs, night sweats, and difficulty of breathing, the balsamic oil and
sulphur of this tea is most salutary.

The dropsical, phlegmatic, corpulent, cathetic, and all such as are in
their stamina relaxed, will find the greatest relief in its constant
use; and to those who are emaciated, either from hereditary or acquired
disease, it is particularly beneficial.

In seasons when experience informs us that the blood requires cleansing
and attenuating, this tea will be of considerable service to the
healthy as well as the diseased. By these means the constitution will
be preserved and restored from all those chronic and acute afflictions,
which are the consequences of acrimonious humours and foulness of
blood.

As this tea produces the effects of cleansing the stomach, promoting
digestion, diluting the chyle, and invigorating the whole viscera, it
should be constantly drank by those who live freely.

Unlike most medicinal applications, this tea requires no previous
preparation of the body. Such are its nature and progression of
effects, that it first renders the body in a state suitable to receive
succeeding benefits; nor is it dangerous, like mineral w
