TO BREAK SWELLINGS AND STOP MORTIFICATION. 
o®pread a bat of tow on a pewter plate, then kill a chicken 
and let the blood fall on the tow; apply this three times to 
the swelling and it will break it and stop mortification, Or 
take good brandy and cold water, equal parts, bathe the 
-swelling with it three or four hours, and it will stop mortifica- 
tion. I tried it on myself. Or put on Hungary bryer leaves 
with whiting, in the form of a poultice, and renew it from 
time to time; this has stopped mortification when it affected 
the bone. :
