nd dry. Then mix among them
bitter apples from the druggists', in small muslin bags, carefully sewn
up in several folds of linen, and turned in at the edges.

WORMS. A strong decoction of walnut tree leaves thrown upon the ground
where there are worm casts, will cause them to rise up. They may then be
given to the poultry, or thrown into the fish pond. Salt and water, or a
ley of wood ashes, poured into worm-holes on a gravel walk, will
effectually destroy them. Sea water, the brine of salted meat, or soot,
will be found to answer the same purpose.

WORMS. Worms in children are denoted by paleness of the face, itching of
the nose, grinding of the teeth during sleep, offensive breath, and
nausea. The belly is hard and painful, and in the morning there is a
copious flow of saliva, and an uncommon craving for dry food. Amongst a
variety of other medicines for destroying worms in the human body, the
following will be found effectual. Make a solution of tartarised
antimony, two grains in four ounces of water, and take two or three
tea-spoonfuls three times a day, for four days; and on the following day
a purging powder of calomel and jalap, from three to six grains each. Or
take half a pound of senna leaves well bruised, and twelve ounces of
olive oil, and digest them together in a sand heat for four or five
days. Strain off the liquor, take a spoonful in the morning fasting,
persevere in it, and it will be found effectual in the most obstinate
cases. A more simple remedy is to pour some port wine into a pewter
dish, and let it stand for twenty-four hours. Half a common
wine-glassful is a sufficient dose for an infant, and a whole one for an
adult.

WORMWOOD ALE. The proper way to make all sorts of herb drinks, is to
gather the herbs in the right season. Then dry them in the shade, and
put them into closed paper bags. When they are wanted for use, take out
the proper quantity, put it into a linen bag, and suspend it in the beer
or ale, while it is working or fermenting, from two to six or eight
hours, and then take it out. Wormwood ought not to lie so long, three or
four hours will be quite sufficient. If the herbs are properly gathered
and prepared, all their pure and balsamic virtues will readily infuse
themselves into the liquor, whether wine or beer, as the pure sweet
quality in malt does into the warm liquor in brewing, which is done
effectually in about an hour. But if malt is suffered to remain more
