For a Consumption

                                            For a Consumption:

   Take the yolk of a new-laid egg, beat it with three spoonfuls of

red rose water, put to it half a pint of the strokings of red cows

milk, sweetned with a sufficient quantity of sugar of roses ; add to

it a little nutmeg scraped, take this every morning for a month,

fasting two hours after it ; this alone restored a gentleman that was

given over by the doctors.
