REMARKS. 413 



Take fpirits of wine half a pint; 



Camphire fix drachms ; 



Oil of origanum two drachms; 



Difiblve the camphire in the fpirits of wine {bf 

 frequent fhaking), then add the oil of ori- 

 gan umv 



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 

 {o refolve and rarefy the contents of the tu- 

 mour, and ftimulate the veflels, as to leave but 

 little doubt of a gradual repulfion. Should 

 that however not take place fo foon as expedl- 

 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- 

 cd to remain fo long unattended to, that this 

 mode of treatment becomes inefFedlual, there 

 is very little hopes of removing the blemifh by 

 any other means, and, in all probability, they 

 bad bettemever be attempted.
