Turn-of-century Remedies for a Sick Family Member
A fragment from a 1901 guide outlines old time home remedies and nursing advice for a sick child and an ailing father. It lists spice plasters, lime water with milk, fennel tea, calomel with soda, lettuce extract for sleep, mercury blue pills, creosote cautions, effervescent potions, and a gag of gizzard extract for nausea. It also warns on nursing behavior such as quietness, not asking what to eat, and hiding medicines from the sick.
