Activated Charcoal
Paste of powdered Activated Charcoal will draw the poison out very quickly so that the sting ill not hurt or swell, according to Richard Hansen M.D. Medical Director of Poland Springs Health Institute of Poland Springs, Maine. Carefully open a few Charcoal capsules and remove the powder. Moisten it with water and apply to the sting, cover with gauze or even plastic wrap. The Charcoal works best if it stays moist. This has been used on skin cancers and in many cases works very well.
For Fever
Take one pond of bark of a Yellow Birch, half a pound of Sweet Flag, half a pound of Tag Alder Bark, two ounces of Thoroughwort, two ounces of Tansy, dry, put to these four quarts of water and boil slowly; stir and boil the liquor down one half, then let it cool and then add two quarts of sweet wine, stir and then bottle for use. Dosage is one Tablespoon every two hours until the shakes come on, then no more the remainder of that day. Pursue this daily and you will be satisfied of its efficiency.
For Gravel
Take one pound of Blue Flag, one pound of Spignut, two ounces of Blood Root, two ounces of Coltsfoot, two ounces of Solomon’s Seal, two ounces of Burdock Seed, and one handful of Peach kernels; boil these in four quarts of water for three hours and then strain and add one pound of loaf sugar and one pint of Holland Gin, take one tablespoonful three times each day before meals; this is infallible.
For Dropsy
Take four parts of Dwarf Elder, three parts of Queen of the Meadow, three parts of Jacob’s Ladder, three parts water or green briar, three parts of Horseradish, two parts of large podded Milkweed, boil them in sufficient water to cover them, then press out the liquor and add to every quart a half-pint of Gin. It is then fit for use. Take a wine glass full every four hours throughout the day. The result will astonish you.
For Corns
Make a plaster of equal parts of Canada balsam, and yolk of eggs, apply three times; it seldom fails curing at the first application.

Has anyone gone to the link & tried to read all 150? After the first 30 or so it links to another site (Indian Creek Tribe) and I haven’t found the rest of the information there yet. Wondering if anyone else has.
