Camomile Tea
Two dozen flowers infused in a pint of boiling water for half an hour; decant, sweeten with honey, and drink half a gill—fasting.
Camomile-tea, when not taken in too strong doses, from its tonic and antispasmodic qualities, strengthens the digestive organs, and tends actively to dispel dyspepsia.
