Herbs for Health
by Otto Mausert, N.D. (1932)
 

Formulas 
 

     All formulas in this book have been thoroughly tested in regard to their effectiveness and reliability.  They cover all points of information in the treatment of the different diseases and are based on the practical experience of a lifetime.  There is, therefore, no necessity of giving numerous formulas for each ailment, making their selection difficult and leaving the results that are expected to guess work.
     The formulas in this book are all written in weight and liquid measure, as this is the only way to get uniform and correctly dosed preparations.  The expected results depend to a great extent on this exactness.
    The measurements you find in so many formulas, such as tablespoonful, cupful, handful, etc., are very inaccurate, because tablespoons, cups and hands are not all the same size.  But a weight, such as an ounce, is always the same, no matter what is weighedlead or feathers.  A tablespoonful of a herb, if cut fine or powdered, will hold twice as much, or more, than a tablespoon of a coarser cut.  Therefore a preparation made by measure is inaccurate.  It will be different every time it is made and the results will naturally be uncertain.
    The following is a table of weights and measures:

    DRACHM equals 60 grains for weight and 60 minims (drops) for liquid measure.
    OUNCE equals 8 drachms for weight or liquid measure.
    POUND equals 16 ounces for weight.
    PINT equals 16 ounces liquid measure.
    QUART equals 2 pints liquid measure.
    GALLON equals 4 quarts liquid measure.

     For the local treatment of piles it is advisable to use suppositories or pile cones.  They are preferable to salves, because they can be easily inserted in the rectum and their quantity is constant.  Salves on the other hand are hard to administer and the quantity inserted is not definite. Formula No. 246 has been found to give good results and quick relief.  It is a mild astringent, acts as a soothing and healing agent, thus tending to relieve the pain, itching and inflammation.  For best results it should be used persistently as its action tends to gradually shrink the piles.
     In order to get the best and quickest results in the treatment of piles, the three Formulas Nos. 240, 243 and 246 should be used together.  Formula No. 240 regulates the bowels, softens the stools and in that way relieves the pressure from the piles.  The wash acts as an effective astringent, it is cooling and healing and keeps the rectum clean.  Formula No. 246 (pile cones) contains antiseptics, astringents and soothing agents, thus having a tendency to reduce the enlarged appendages.

Examine the stools closely and do not forget that the thinnest part bears the head.  Doctors generally let the patient fast for a day or two before taking tapeworm remedies, but this is unnecessary, because the worm being a parasite,
cannot be starved.  This only makes the patient feel weak and nauseated, and when he finally takes the medicine on a starved stomach, he may throw it up.  A far better way from my experience, is to advise the patient to eat, for a day or so, foods the tapeworm dislikes, such as onions, garlic, pickles and salted fish.  This weakens the worm and tends to loosen his grip, so that when the medicine is taken, it acts upon the tapeworm and causes it to be expelled more easily.
