Homoeopathic Soup.
Take a robin's leg,
Mind, the drumstick merely ;
-Put. it in a tub,
Filled with water nearly,
Set it out of doors,
. In a place '.hat's shady;
Let it stand a week,
(Three days for a lady.)
Put a spoonful in
To a fivp quart kettle,
Tt should be of tin.
Or perhaps bell metal.
Fill thekttle up.
Put it on a boiling ;
Skim the liquor well .
To prevent its oiling.
Let the Liquor boil
Half an-bour or longer,
(Tf 'tis for a man
You msy make it stronger.)
Should you now desire
That the soup be flavory,
Stir it once round
With a stick of savory.
When the souo in done,
Pet It by to jell it ;
Then tbrt e times a day
Let the pati nt smell it.
If be chance to die,
Say 'twas nature did it ;
But should he get well,
Give the soup the credit.

to stop at the point mentioned. The ac.
