The doctor's medicines consisted of calomel, jalap and quinine, all used pretty freely, by some with benefit, and by others to no visible purpose, for they had to suffer until the cold weather came and froze the disease out. At one time I was the only one that remained well, and I had to nurse and cook, besides all the out-door work that fell to me.
Some of their bacon must be taken off, or with this heat we shall have them all sick on our hands. And tell him not to spare the jalap." When I returned and heard the message, I literally obeyed his order by administering forty-two doses of various strengths to the men, women and children, designated by the Doctor as the "Paisley bodies."
Rejecting his munificent offers, I gave him a cooling dose of calomel and jalap, which he drank like pombe, and pronounced beautiful holding up his hands, and repeating the words "Beautiful, beautiful! they are all beautiful together!
The extraordinary Beauty and Fertility of this Spot. Jalap, Sarsaparilla, Myrtle, Vanilla, Cochineal, and Wood of Tobasco. The charming Situation of Jalapa. Its Flowers and its Fruits. Magnificent Views. The tradition that Jalapa was Paradise. A speck of War. The Marriage of a Heretic. A gambling Scene in a Convent.
It is impossible to reproduce the flavor of this intellectual hippocampus' politico-economic emulsions, they being evidently compounded with thaumaturgis incantations while he is surrounded with jars of jalap, pile remedies, aphrodisiacs and patent liver pills. They should be labelled allopathic purgatives and kept tightly corked.
Medicine Begin by giving a simple dose of castor oil, just enough and no more than will clear out the bowels by one or two motions. Drastic purgatives, and medicines such as mercury, jalap, aloes, and podophyllyn, cannot be too highly condemned.
Coffee plant and seed, cocoa-seed, jalap, ipecacuhana, tamarind, banana, orange, lime, and lemon-trees, guava seed, prickly pear, with the cochineal in seed upon it, pomrose, grape, tobacco, and rice for seed. September 1787 to January 1788 Refreshments procured there. Depart from the Cape of Good Hope. Captain Phillip quits the Sirius, and proceeds on the voyage in the Supply.
I drink his health in a dose of the cheerful beverage known as jalap, and thresh the sheets with my hot hands. I address large assemblages, who have somehow got into my room, and I charge Dr. Williamson with the murder of Luce, and Mr. Irwin, the actor, with the murder of Shakspeare. I have a lucid spell now and then, in one of which James Townsend, the landlord, enters.
I do not approve of it, as jalap is a drastic, griping purgative; besides, jalap is very nasty to take nothing will make it palatable. Fluid Magnesia Solution of Carbonate of Magnesia is a good aperient for a child; and, as it has very little taste, is readily given, more especially if made palatable by the addition either of a little syrup or of brown sugar.
Some left with only sufficient to pay for a horse and saddle, and pay the physician six ounces of gold for one ounce of quinine, calomel, and jalap in proportion. An ounce of gold for advice given, six ounces a visit, brings the fever and ague to be rather an expensive companion. A 'well' man has his proportionate heavy expenses also, to reduce his piles or bags of gold.
