Mr. COOK’S REMEDY FOR A COUGH
As coughs from catching cold are
so very common, let me recom-
mend the following cheap and pleasant
receipt as a good remedy for recent ones, 
especially for infants and young pers-
ons.
    Boil half a pound of honey; having
    Skimmed it, throw therein one
    lemon with peel and all, first cut
    into thin slices, which boil till
    tender; towards the end add two
    scruples of saffron cliped small. 
The patient is to eat some of the 
peel, and take a little of the Syrup often
to ease and cure the cough.
