MILD APERIENT DRAUGHT.

Take senna leaves, an ounce and a half,

ginger, sliced, 1 dram,

boiling water, 1 pint.

Macerate for an hour, and strain the liquor.

Two or three tea-spoonsful of Epsom salts dissolved in a

wine-glassful of warm water, with 3 table-spoonsful of the

above infusion of senna, and a tea-spoonful of tincture of

senna, or cardamoms, will act as a mild aperient. It should

be taken early in the morning, and a plentiful supply of tea,

afterwards, at breakfast.
