Biliousness

One suggested remedy for a bilious attack was to take a glass of hot water containing lemon juice before retiring for the night.

Another involved drinking a small cup of coffee containing lemon juice and a pinch of salt, fasting for a period of twenty-four hours and then eating only raw apples for the next period of twenty four hours.

Epsom salts were also thought to be helpful in the treatment of biliousness. Another remedy advocated washing out the stomach wit large quantities of water or soda water and taking purgatives. Thereafter fasting was advocated.
