CURE FOR LOW SPIRITS
Take 1 oz. of the seeds of Resolution properly mixed with the oil of Good Conscience. Infuse into it a large spoonful of the Balsam of Patience. Distil carefully a composing plant called Others’ Woes, which you will find in every part of the Garden of Life. Gather a handful of the blossoms of Hope, sweeten them with a syrup made of the Balm of Providence and if you can get any seeds of True Friendship, you will have a valuable medicine, but be careful not to add a weed called “Self-Interest” which will spoil the composition. These ingredients well mixed and faithfully taken, will complete the cure.
