Black Pepper is used in cooking by everyone, and it is a remedy I value very much as a safe, certain and reliable gastric stimulant. I know of no remedy more certain in cholera morbus. I have been afflicted with the disease many a time, and have used black pepper tea as hot as I could swallow it, and in thirty minutes from the time I commenced taking it I have always got relief. I pronounce it a specific for cholera morbus, and it is a fine remedy in atonic conditions of the stomach, where digestion is feeble for the want of a proper stimulus. It is healthful to use in food, and as a medicine there is no better form to use it in than the hot tea. I prefer it to all other forms in which it can be given. It is readily absorbed by the stomach, and will relieve cramps quicker than in any other form. In a case of cholera morbus take a full swallow of the hot tea every five minutes until the stomach is quiet. A teaspoonful of the pepper will make a pint of tea.
