tie on him, producing pain, inflammation, and swell- 

 ing, not unirequently resulting in death. The stings 

 of hornets are as bad or worse. The MARVEL 

 applied freely, will relfeve at once. Give at the same 

 time the FEVER SPECIFIC A A, internally, fifteen 

 drops, and repeat it every hour. If you have not 

 the MARVEL use ARNICA in the same manner.* 



Varices. 



The veins of the leg are sometimes distended, 

 especially at the point where the large vein passes 

 over the inner surface of the hock joint, producing a 

 soft elastic tumor. Bathe it with MARVEL, and give 

 the remedy for INJURIES, B B, fifteen drops, morning 

 and night. 



Wonnds. 



Wounds differ much in importance and in the 

 manner of treatment. Mere bruises or contusions 

 only require the application of THE MARVEL or 

 ARNICA, as before advised. Cuts made by a sharp 

 instrument unite readily by bringing the parts neatly 

 together and retaining them in place by adhesive 

 plaster, or a few stitches. Those made by a ragged 

 instrument require the same management, but often 

 result in suppuration. Stab wounds are often most 



* URTICA URENS (Stinging Nettle), or the PLANTAGO MAJOR common 

 'ow plantain are both valuable, if the former are not at hand. Make a strong 

 tincture by bruising the leaves and stems of the PLANTAGO, then place it in a 

 bottle or jar and, cover it with alcohol or even whiskey, and stir it well; it 

 will be fit to apply in a few moments, and will promptly relieve. Of course, 

 it improves with standing, and is efficient for stings of insects, bites of 

 spiders, musquitoes, or even of venomous reptiles, snakes, etc. The plan 

 tain may be found almost everywhere in close yards or fields, and is invalu- 

 able for these purposes.
