CURE FOR MOUTH DISEASE.
Take of good nature one ounce, and of a herb commonly known by the Indians as “ mind your own business,” one ounce. Mix this with a little charity for others, and two or three sprigs of “ keep your tongue within your teeth.” Simmer them together in a vessel called “ circumspection ” for a time, and it will be fit for use, —application. The symptoms are a violent itching in the tongue and roof of the mouth, which invariably takes place when you are with a kind of being called a gossip. When you feel a turn of it coming on take a spoonful of the above, hold it in your mouth, which you will keep closely shut until you get home, and you will find a complete cure. Should you apprehend a relapse, keep a phial-full about you and on feeling the slightest symptoms repeat the dose. —Selected.
