As soon as you had cleansed the wound good with the tincture, pulverized the seeds of the lobelia and took some to make you vomit and perspire.

"Vapor baths were eiven. too. along with the lobelia treatment. 1 hey tell me it didn't hurt for the victim to pray, either." An elderly farmer said. "I've heard my dad tell about a neighbor named Yancy who was -bit on the hand by a mad dog back when dad was a very young boy.
