REMARKS. 413 



Take fplrlts of wine half a pint ; 



Camphire fix drachms ; 



Oil of origanUiTi two drachms ; 



DifTolve the camphire in the fpirits of wine (by 

 frequent fhaking), then add the oil of ori- 

 ganum. 



The part tumefied to be well bathed with a 

 fufficient proportion of this liniment twice or 

 thrice a day, leaving a flannel or pledget of tow 

 upon the part wet with the fame, bandaging 

 up warm ; this, by its penetrative property, will 

 fo refolve and rarefy the contents of the tu- 

 mour, and ftimulate the veiTels, as to leave but 

 little doubt of a gradual repulfion. Should 

 that however not take place fo foon as expecS' 

 ed, two drachms of the ftrong mercurial 

 ointment had better be well rubbed upon the 

 part every morning, about two hours preced- 

 ing the ufe of the fpirituous application before 

 prefcribed. If the fwelling has been permit- 

 ted to remain fo long unattended to, that this 

 mode of treatmxent becomes ineffedlual, there 

 is very little hopes of removing the blemifh by 

 any other means, and, in all probability, they 

 had better never be attempted.
