Huit paquets de sel de Glauber, chacun d’une demi-once. Six prises de pilules de Starkey, chacune de quatre graines. Pour son Excellence M. Franklin

An ounce of wild [succory] roots is to be boiled in a quart of water, during seven or eight minutes.

Strain the decoction and dissolve in it one of the packets of salt.

This is to be drank every morning fasting, by glasses of a quarter of an hour’s distance between each glass.

One of Starkey’s pills is to be taken every night.

They are a little laxative and anodyne.
