For Palsy
First let the patient thoroughly cleanse the blood with Burdock Root, then take one ounce of Umbel, called Lady Slipper, half a pound of Angle Worms, half pint of spirits of Turpentine, fourth of a pound of Lobelia Seed, one ounce oil origanum, one ounce oil of Spruce, one ounce of Cinnamon , four green frogs alive, put these all in a stone vessel, under a heap of rotten manure, well stopped up for ten days, then take it out and strain it, and rub the afflicted parts with it and wrap the parts in flannel as warm as can be borne, let the patient drink plenty of Sage, Pennyroyal, or Horsemint Tea, for a constant drink, and I warrant them a speedy cure.
For Gout
Take the buds of the balm of Gilead, and put them in alcohol, then apply to the affected parts, (inwardly,) take Queen of the Meadow Roots one ounce, hemp one ounce, of Spignut one ounce, steep them and mix in one bottle of Sarsaparilla Syrup, take sufficient to keep the bowels laxative. This is certain.
For Rheumatism
Take one ounce of Cayenne Pepper, four ounces of Ginger, two ounces of Cinnamon, two ounces of Cloves, one ounce of Gum Guaiacum, one ounce of Gum Myrrh, one gallon fourth proof spirits, let them stand by the fire for ten days before bottling, then place them in corked vessels and take one wine glass full three times each day, before eating. Rubefacient for the surface, boil one pound of Red Pepper, in one gallon of Vinegar and wash every night just before going to bed, also wear flannel next to the skin continually.
For Quinsy
First take a flannel cloth and wet it in strong boiling Vinegar and apply it around the neck, repeat this often as it gets dry, then take one pint of Brewer’s Yeast and let the patient take one tablespoonful every few minutes and gargle the mouth with the same, and swallow some; do this till the whole is gone and with it your Quinsy is gone.

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.
