Eclectic medicine was populist medical movement in America during the 1840s with a philosophy of alignment with nature opposed to the techniques of bleeding, chemical purging and the use of mercury compounds common among the "conventional" doctors of that time. The Eclectics used many principles of Samuel Thomson's family herbal medication, and botanical remedies adopted from Native Americans. The movement peaked in the 1880s and 1890s, with the last Eclectic Medical school closing in Cincinnati in 1939. Wikipedia
I have included this section of remedies for informational purposes, not as a guide to home herbal practice. Proceed with caution and wisdom.

Google has a cool gadget that converts units of weight and volume. Just enter the measure you want to convert from first, i.e. "Cups in quart".
| Equivalence Measures |
|---|
| 1 pinch = less than 1/8 teaspoon (dry) |
| 1 dash = 3 drops to 1/4 teaspoon (liquid) |
| 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon = 1/2 ounce (liquid and dry) |
| 2 tablespoons = 1 ounce (liquid and dry) |
| 4 tablespoons = 2 ounces (liquid and dry) = 1/4 cup |
| 1 cup = 8 ounces (liquid) = 1/2 pint |
| 16 cups = 128 ounces (liquid) = 4 quarts = 1 gallon |
| Approximate Equivalents |
| 1 quart (liquid) = about 1 liter |
| 8 tablespoons = 4 ounces = 1/2 cup = 1 stick butter |
