Pure water An old woman’s remedy for night sweats is to place a pan of pure water under the bed. They say it will do good every time and it cannot do harm.

Salix nigra [Salx-n]
Country Doctor, in an old journal, related a case of night sweats in a patient that he could do nothing with. Finally the old mother said that she would stop that, she would stop them if the doctor couldn’t. So she made a decoction of the fresh bark of the pussy willow Salix nigra, gave it and the night sweats stopped. The doctor used the tincture of Salix nigra, in water, afterwards, and stopped other sweats by the same means-for the tincture in water and the decoction are about the same thing.
