TAMARIND WATER.

This fruit very much resembles the nature of prunes, but is more

acid, and enters as a useful ingredient into the lenitive electuary.

It is found of the highest use in a sore throat, as a powerful

cleanser; and, put into boiling water until moderately cold, is a

delightful drink to persons parched under the heat of fever, and in

the lowest state of putrid fever.
