SALVE TO HEAL BURNS. 
Apple Peru leaves stewed in fresh butter or cream to a 
salve, and layed on, will take out the fire and heal the wound 
if attended to. The inside of cat-tail flag root, mixed 
_ with lard, cold, is good. Or onion poultice suits well. Or 
spread West India molasses on cotton and lay it on. Mo- 
lasses answers as well as camphor on bruises. Or simmer 
live frogs in fresh butter, equal parts, to a salve, and apply it - 
toa burn, will take out the fire and heal the wound. Or lay 
on a thick bat of cotton and bind it on the burn, let it re- 
main till it heals and comes off itself; it takes out the fire 
soon. Lime water and flax seed oil mixed together and put 
on ‘the cotton makes it better. Or slake me in boiling wa- 
ter, and cover it tight till it settles—equal parts of it and lin- 
seed oil, or sweet oil, well shaken together and jaid on cot- 
ton, will take out the soreness and inflammation and heal the 
wound without @ sear.
