Soot Coffee
(Has cured many cases of Ague, after everything else has failed)
| It is made as follows: Soot scraped from a chimney, (that from stove-pipes does not do), 1 table-spoon, steeped in water 1 pt., and settled with 1 egg beaten up in a little water, as for other coffee, with sugar and cream, 3 times daily with the meals, in place of other coffee. It has come in very much to aid resoration in Typhoid Fever, bad cases of jaundice, Dyspepsia, etc. etc. |
