Take extract of Saturn (coinmoiily called Goulard) 

 one ounce ; 

 Poi)d, or river water, half a pint ; 

 Camphorated spirits two ounces. 



The extract and camplioiated spirits to be 

 first well shaken together, then add the water, 

 letting the tumour and surrounding parts be 

 most plentifully bathed with the composition 

 three times a day, bandaging on a flannel or 

 substantial pledget of tow wet with the same, 

 till the swelling sribsides and is nearly oblite- 

 rated . 



The opposite opinions that have been con- 

 fidently promulgated, upon the properties of 

 Goulai'd's extract of Saturn, afford applica- 

 ble opportunity to venture a few words upon 

 its qualities, and the estimation it is held in, 

 and entitled to, ainonii those whose exten- 

 sive practice nuist have enabled them to de- 

 cide upon the cei tainty of its effects. Every 

 valuable discovery unavoidably meets its op- 

 ponents from either pique, prejudice, obsti- 

 nacy, or ignorance; the virtues of this me- 

 dicine as an external may therefore not be 

 universally acknowledged ; but, so far as a 

 long and attentive experience will permit me
