SWELLINGS TO REDUCE — Liniment for. — Rum, spirits ot 

 camphor and laudanum, each 1 oz. ; mix, shake "vvell and keep corked. Direc 

 TiONS — Heat the mixture hot (when using) and bathe the swelling thoroughly, 

 at least 3 times daily, by pouring into the hand and thorough rubbing in. For 

 a pin-scratch, or .small pimple, a finger application will be sufficient. 



Remark. — This is claimed to reduce the worst swelling in a short time. 



RHEUMATISM, SPINAL AFFECTIONS, CANCERS, ETC. 



1 . Dr. "White's Remedy, or Liniment for. — Strongest alcoboi 

 and spirits of turpentine, each 1 pt. ; camphor gum and saltpeter, each 1 oz. ; 

 beef's brine, 2 qts. Dissolvethe camphor gum and saltpeter in the alcohol; then 

 add the turpentine. Scald and skim the beef's brine, and when cold, add it. 

 To be shaken when used. 



Remarks. — Dr. White, from whom this receipt was obtained, used it ex 

 t«nsively, and with success, in weak backs and all other spinal affections, 

 rheumatism, etc., and also claimed to hare cured several cancers with it. I 

 have no doubt of its value for general purposes, nor have I a doubt that, if taken 

 or cammenced early in the appearance of a cancerous growth, it may scatter it, 

 and with an occasional active cathartic and the continued use of a go6d altera- 

 tive, they may be cured. 



2. Kerosene, 3^ pt., and camphor-gum, 1 oz., cured a friend of mine, with 

 whom I was acquainted for forty years; his fingers and hands were set nearly 

 shut. Bathing his hands 3 or 4 times daily for 3 or 4 days made decided im 

 provements, and finally cured them. 



CANCER— SUCCESSFUL REMEDIES.— Persons suffering with 

 cancers may expect to find the following beneficial: 



1. Take a qt. bowl ajid fill half to two- thirds full of green sheep son-el,

 drank daily. Use dry sorrel same as green, only steep in hot water. 



For the Sore. — Use a poultice, made by soaking the sorrel in warm water 

 tiU soft; change often. 



To Make the Salve. — Take a porcelain kettle holding a gallon; fill two- 

 thirds full of the sorrel; then fill with water, and boil dowD to a strong ooze; 

 take out the sorrel (pressing or straining, if necessary), and put in freshly made 

 unsalted butter or lard; then let it simmer over a slow fire — do not burn it — and 

 put in a lump of rosin the size of a hen's egg; when the water is simmered out, 

 drain out the salve. Salve prepared in this way, will cure scrofula as well as 

 cancers. I know whereof I affirm, as I have seen it tried successfiUly. It takes
