Febrifuge Pills.
Take powdered Cammomile flowers 2 drams and half; Diaphoretic Antimony 1 dram; Salt of Wormwood half a dram, with mucilage of Gum Tragacanth, make up Pills for 12 Doses.
I have known these more than once (though not always, I confess) put off an Intermitting Fever (without a Relapse) when I had before attempted it in vain, with the Cortex. Let them be taken every three Hours in the absence of the Paroxysme.
