Make a strong tea of everlasting--strain, and put to a quart of it two
ounces of figs or raisins, two of liquorice, cut in bits. Boil them in
the tea for twenty minutes, then take the tea from the fire, and add to
it the juice of a lemon. This is an excellent remedy for a tight
cough--it should be drank freely, being perfectly innocent. It is the
most effectual when hot.
