Burdock Tea a Standard Remedy for.--"Take a handful of the
freshly bruised burdock root to two quarts of water and boil down one-half; drink from a
half to one pint a day." This is considered one of the best home remedies for skin diseases that is known and is perfectly harmless.

Round Or Pin Worms

Round or Pin Worms

Sage Tea for.--"Sage tea is a fine remedy for children
troubled with worms, taken before breakfast or on going to bed." Sage tea may help; I
have known other mothers to have faith in it. Its virtue may consist in being a laxative
and an antiseptic which in themselves would add to the general health of the child.

Asthma

Asthma

Lobelia Tea for.--"There is no medicine that is half so effective as
lobelia in removing the tough, hard ropy phlegm from the asthmatic persons." This
remedy is very good, but care should be taken not to give it to consumptives, because it
is too weakening. To obtain the best results, enough of the remedy should be given to
produce relaxation of the bronchial tubes. Dose.--For adults should be
from fifteen to sixty drops according to the strength of the patient. This will cause a little
sickness of the stomach and vomiting, thus relaxing the muscles and relieving the
asthma.
