Female Obstructions

&c. - Make a sirup of equal parts of heart's ease, spikenard roots with the pith out, Turkey root, wild licorice, pond-lily root, a small part of blood-root, and a double proportion of an herb called female flowers. The last often grows by the edges of ponds, and has a leaf and blossoms similar to cowslips, but grows single, one root or stalk by itself, and smaller than the cowslip. The blossom is yellow. It is one of the finest roots for females in the world. Boil in fair water until the substance is extracted, strain, sweeten with honey, add as much rum as will keep it from souring; drink half a gill on going to bed, every night. It will strengthen the system and throw off all obstructions. A thick piece of flannel-work, on the small of the back, will be beneficial to persons thus affected.
