Cure for the Scurvy

CURE FOR THE SCURVY

From an English Magazine.

A Correspondent who has known the fol-

lowing simple receipt to cure the ob-

stinate SCURVY, is desirous of commu-

nicating it to the public, for the benefit of

those who may be afflicted with that dread-

ful complaint.

     Put an equal quantity of cream of tartar

and flour of sulphur into a vessel, and then

pour in boiling water; keep it covered for

one night. The patient, if an adult, must

drink half a pint every morning fasting,

and, if not disagreeable, the same quanti-

ty at night when going to bed. Though

the patient were almost a leper our cor-

respondent pledges himself, a few weeks

observance will effect a cure.  A quarter of

a pound of cream of tartar and the same

quantity of sulphur, will be sufficient for

two gallons of water.
