For indisposition of any kind, 3 tablespoons diluted with water can be taken.
For serious diseases, 2 to 3 tablespoons are taken as follows: 1 tablespoon diluted with half a cup of herb tea, half of it is sipped half an hour before and the other half an hour after each meal.
Compress:
According to area, a piece of cotton wool or gauze is moistened with Swedish Bitters and applied to the affected area which has been well covered with lard or Calendula ointment. A slightly larger piece of plastic is put over it to prevent the clothes from getting stained. Then a cloth is wound around or a bandage is used.
The compress can be left on, depending on illness, for 2 to 4 hours. If tolerated, the compress can stay on overnight. After removal the skin is powdered.
Should people with sensitive skin still develop a rash, the compresses have to be used for a shorter period only or omitted for a time.
People who are allergic to plastic should leave it off.
Never forget to grease the skin beforehand.
If an itching rash has already developed it can be treated with Calendula ointment.
