For Cancers
Take a large Red Onion, roast it well, take Pocoon Root finely powdered; mix this powder of the root with the onion, which must be well beaten, in the proportion of a teaspoonful to one onion: make of this a plaster just large enough to cover the sore. If really a cancer, this will produce great pain, yet the patient must not be alarmed, but repeat this every twelve hours, until the body of the cancer assumes a deep purple or black color. Two plasters will generally affect this. The next preparation is this:
Take young Poke Root roasted, one handful, add one spoonful of Jamestown Seed powdered, about the same quantity of Boars Tusk Root; (this root ought to be kept soaked in water); beat these well together, then moisten this compound with the water from which the root is taken, and apply it night and morning. This is for the purpose of drawing out the cancer. Care must be taken not to force it out only as a plaster itself affects it, as much an operation would tend to break the small roots before they are entirely killed. If they are not entirely destroyed it may be known in eight or ten days as inflammation will take place; in such a case, the first preparation may again be used, and continue to be used once in ten days, until all the roots are destroyed, then the plaster will heal the sore.
Any careful person may perform the cure of cancers by a strict attention to the above direction.
For Obstructed Menstruation
Take three parts of female flowers, commonly found by the side of ponds, leaf deep green, shaped like the Cowslip, flowers of bright yellow, this certainly is one of the best herbs in the world of females; two parts of Unkum, found in swamps, known by the name of Blood Gut, and one part of Indian Pink, boil them in fair water until the strength is all out, then strain and add to this as much Port Wine, or good Madeira, as will keep it from souring, and take a wine glass full there times each day, if the bowels are costive, use a little syrup of Elecampane, and I warrant you a speedy cure.

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.
