_Caraway Seed._

Caraway seeds sharpen the vision, promote the secretion of milk, and are
good against hysterical affections. They are also useful in cases of
colic. When used to flavour cakes the seeds should be pounded in a
mortar, especially if children are to partake thereof.

When used medicinally 20 grains of the powdered seeds may be taken in a
wineglassful of hot water. But for children half an ounce of the bruised
seeds are to be infused in cold water for six hours, and from 1 to 3
teaspoonfuls of this water given.

A poultice of crushed caraway seeds moistened with hot water is good for
sprains.

Caraway seeds are narcotic, and should therefore be used with caution.

_Orange._

The orange possesses most of the virtues of the lemon, but in a modified
form. But it has the advantage of being more palatable.

The juice of oranges has been observed to exert such a beneficial
influence on the blood as to prevent and cure influenza. Taken freely
while the attack is on they seemingly prevent the pneumonia that so
often follows. By far the quickest way to overcome influenza is to
subsist solely on oranges for three or four days. Hot distilled water
may be taken in addition.

The peel of the bitter Seville orange is an excellent tonic and remedy
in cases of malaria and ague. A drink may be prepared from it according
to the prescription under the heading “Lemon.”

The “orange cure” is used with great success for consumptive patients,
for chest affections of all kinds, for asthma, and some stomach
complaints. Oranges are taken freely at every meal. The “navel” kind are
generally used.

Herbalists sell dried orange pips to be crushed to a powder and taken in
the proportion of 1 teaspoonful to a cup of hot water. This is a
harmless sedative, and useful in hysterical affections.

_Marmalade Tonic._

A drink made with half a pint of hot water poured over a tablespoonful
of good, home-made marmalade will often give relief in cases of
neuralgia and pains in the head.

_Thyme_

The common garden thyme, used for flavouring, is credited with many
virtues. It is said to inspire courage and enliven the spirits, and for
this reason should be taken by melancholy persons. It is good against
nervous headache, flatulence, and hysterical affections. It is
antiseptic.
