RECEIPTS. 



WHITE LINIMENT. 



Proportions to make one quart of the liniment. Use either a 

 quart bottle or a quart self-sealer to mix it in: 



First. — Put in one-half pint of hard water. 



Second. — Put in two ounces or eight tablespoonfuls of spirits 

 of turpentine and shake thoroughly for five minutes. 



Third. — Beat up one hen egg and put it in and shake 

 thoroughly for five minutes. 



Fourth. — Put in two ounces or eight tablespoonfuls of 

 methylated spirits of alcohol and shake thoroughly for five 

 minutes. 



Fifth. — Put in two ounces or eight tablespoonfuls of strong 

 liquor ammonia and shake thoroughly for five minutes. 



Sixth. — Put in enough hard water to make up a quart, then 

 shake thoroughly and the liniment is ready for use. 



This is one of the most effectual remedies known for all kinds 

 of sprains and bruises where the %kin is not broken. The longer 

 this liniment stands (if the bottle is kept corked) the stronger 

 and better it gets for using. For making larger or smaller quan- 

 tities of the liniment add to or take from the proportions given 



for one quart. 



WHITE LOTION. 



Proportions to make up one quart of White Lotion. Use 

 either a quart bottle or a quart self-sealer to mix it in. 



Put in one-half ounce of each of the following: Sulphate of 

 zinc, sugar of lead and pulverized alum, add enough water to 

 make a quart and shake thoroughly. 



This makes a most effectual lotion for healing all kinds of 

 wounds and bruises where the skin is broken, also where the skin 

 is irritated, such as scratches, grease, etc. 



ACID LINIMENT. 

 Persons getting this liniment that are not experienced in 

 handling drugs had better get the druggist to mix it for them, as 

 it is a little dangerous mixing the sulphuric acid with other drugs, 

 and it requires to be carefully handled. The following are the pro- 

 portions for one quart which is best mixed in a quart bottle or a 

 quart self-sealer:
