Mrs Heathcote's receipt for a Cough
that had been tried with great success by
MrsWyman the staymaker who gave me
the receipt -
Best Honey one Ounce
Powder'd Senna once ounce
Flour of Sulpher six drachmes
Candied Ginger half an Ounce
Syrrup of Sugar sufficient to make
them into an electuary. Take a piece the
size of a nutmeg six nights following,
then omit it three nights. Take it
again for Three, so continue taking
three and resting three untill the Cough is gone.

Oil of Rosemary rubbed on any part that
has the Cramp, will immediately remove it.
Mention'd by Mr George James -

and a Yeast poultice, applied to a [whole?]
swelling in the Knee, twice, or three times
a day, was said to be a certain cure, by
a Gentleman who read philosophical lectures
