Flying Rheumatism
- A quarter of a pound each of prince's pine tops, horse-radish roots, elecampane roots, prickly ash bark, bitter sweet bark off the roots, wild cherry bark, and a small handful of mustard seed. Stew them well in four quarts of vinegar, strain off the liquor, and bind the ingredients on parts where the pain is felt, rubbing the liquid all over the person with a coarse towel wet in it. Drink a mixture of tar water and brandy.
