The following is a method of treatment that I have used in over a thousand cases, and I have never failed to produce a cure in a single instance.

As soon as you have ascertained the trouble, immediately give pulverized senna in from five to ten grain doses every two hours until the bowels are moved by it. If the tonsils are inclined to swell much, bind on each one the salty bacon rind, and have the patient gargle salt water and weak lime water every hour, first one and then the other. Let the patient chew and swallow a small pinch of chlorate of potash every two or three hours, taking a foot bath twice a day. If the patient should have high fever, drop ten drops of Norwood's tincture of Veratrum in a four ounce bottle of water, and give a teaspoonful of the solution every hour till the fever falls. This is the plan that I have treated and cured over a thousand cases with. Never had one die yet.
