Another home remedy? – for the uncommon cold?
From the Richmond Daily Dispatch February 11, 1865:
A medical opinion.
–Hall’s Journal of Health, which claims to be high authority in medical science, has taken a stand against married people sleeping together, but thinks they had better sleep in adjoining rooms. It says that Kings and Queens do not sleep together, and why should other people? Think of the idea of separating a married couple on a cold winter’s night because Hall’s Journal of Health says so! You go to grass, Mr. Hall.
I’ve heard that medical authorities nowadays think going to the grass could be a good thing.
