102 BURNS. 



mixed together, one .wineglass of brandy, wine, and rose- 

 water stirred together. 



Stir the spice into the butter, then add the flour and 

 sugar, stirring them in alternately with the well-beaten eggs. 

 Add the wineglass of brandy, wine, and rose-water, and last- 

 ly, stir in the half-pint of milk, to be followed immediately 

 by the wineglass of fresh yeast. When risen, bake in but- 

 tered tins, moulding the dough into the bunn form, and glaz- 

 ing with sugar and white of egg. 



BURNS. To keep the air from the burn or scald, cover 

 immediately with cotton-batting, and then pour over the cot- 

 ton sweet olive-oil. If the accident is serious, administer a 

 gentle cathartic, and keep the diet low, unless there is weak- 

 ness and sinking, when wine and a teaspoonful of tincture of 

 Peruvian bark may be given from time to time. 



Spirits of turpentine is sometimes applied, but it is too 

 powerful a stimulant for most persons. I have known of 

 flour being put over the skin of a child who had received a 

 severe scald. It is light and excludes the air. 



For cooling applications, pounded ice put in a flat bag of 

 thin oil-silk or tied in a bladder, and lime-water mixed with 

 the same quantity of linseed-oil, are exceedingly grateful, the 

 latter being put on with a very soft sponge or linen rag, 

 bathing the affected skin gently, without rubbing. Where 

 the weight of it can be supported, a fine Indian-meal poultice 

 can be made, with hyson tea thrown over it, pouring on hot 

 water enough to moisten and soften the leaves. Renew the 

 poultice when dry by a fresh one prepared in the same way. 



Vinegar will sometimes relieve the pain of a burn t and a 

 solution of sugar of lead applied with a soft sponge or rag to 

 the injured parts is sometimes beneficial.
