Description
In this document, a friend of Robert Harris prescribes him to make a pill using household ingredients that he believes will break his fever. These ingredients include "casteel soap, brown sugar, and rhuberd." He also recommends a liquid cure to take in the evenings consisting of six grains of black snake root powder and honey. If the recipe does not work after a few days, he tells him to vomit again.
