_Take half a fowl, bruise the bones, and cut the flesh small;
this boil in three pints of fresh water, with about one drachm
of cinamon; strain it clear, and add as before, an ounce of
sugar, with a few drops of the oil of peppermint.—A tea cupful
of good white wine may be added, if the patient is very weak,
and not feverish._
