John Wesley has studied lunacy to an extensive degree and has compiled
the following recommendations based on his research (31).
- Give decoction of agrimony four times a day.
- Or, rub the head several times a day with vinegar in which ground
ivy leaves have been infused.
- Or, take daily an ounce of distilled vinegar.
- Or, boil juice of ground ivy with sweet oil and white wine into
an ointment. Shave the head anointed therewith, and chafe it in, warm,
every other day for three weeks; bruise also the leaves and bind them
on the head, and give three spoonfuls of the juice every morning.
- Or, electrify.
