Not illustrated. 1842 edition. Excerpt: ...from that pursued in the case of adults. The most marked benefit will be derived from the use of the liniment, in abating the inflammatory action, especially when the powder prescribed has been administered every second night; in cases of children, of from one to two years old, for under that age we never administer more than one dose of the powder, and afterwards keep the bowels in a proper state by daily three grain doses of the powder of chalk, with mercury, and small portions of castor oil, giving a large tea-spoonful of a mixture formed of two ounces of the emulsion of gum Arabic, one scruple of powdered nitre, and one ounce of simple syrup. This tends to relieve the cough, and tends to keep the inflammatory action in subjection. However, we would never advise rubbing in more than half a dram of the soothing liniment, either on the chest, or along the spine, every four hours. There is, perhaps, no disease that is more benefited by a uniform and regulated temperature than this; and many lives, we are persuaded, might every year be saved by a ward devoted to the cure of measles being so heated, or, what is preferable, in families adopting such plans as will insure this desirable object in their own houses. Adults will, in the early stage, find oftenrepeated small doses of a mixture composed of infusion of roses and Epsom salts, combined with the tinctures of foxglove and henbane, in the same proportions as those tinctures are ordered to be mixed with the emulsion of syrup, very useful where the emulsion cannot be procured. When the eruptive fever takes on the appearance of debility, and there appear petechia; or spots, quinine, combined as in the following mixture, may with confidence be resorted to: --Sulphate of quinine, half a dram...
A History of Herbalism

Book Description
Food historian Emma Kay tells the story of our centuries-old relationship with herbs. From herbalists of old to contemporary cooking, this book reveals the magical and medicinal properties of your favourite plants in colorful, compelling detail. At one time, every village in Britain had a herbalist. A History of Herbalism investigates the lives of women and men who used herbs to administer treatment and knew the benefit of each. Meet Dr Richard Shephard of Preston, who cultivated angelica on his estate in the eighteenth century for the sick and injured; or Nicholas Culpeper, a botanist who catalogued the pharmaceutical benefits of herbs for early literary society. But herbs were not only medicinal. Countless cultures and beliefs as far back as prehistoric times incorporated herbs into their practices: paganism, witchcraft, religion and even astrology. Take a walk through a medieval ‘physick’ garden, or Early Britain, and learn the ancient rituals to fend off evil powers, protect or bewitch or even attract a lover. The wake of modern medicine saw a shift away from herbal treatments, with rituals and spells shrouded with superstition as the years wore on. The author reveals how herbs became more culinary rather than medicinal including accounts of recent trends for herbal remedies as lockdown and the pandemic leads us to focus more on our health and wellbeing.
