 num, 2 oz. ; spirits of turpentine, 4 ozs. ; mix.

 nervous affections, rheumatism, etc.

 almond or other good soap, and oil of cajeput, each 1 oz. Directions — Shave 

 the soap finely, and put it with the camphor gum into the alcohol and dissolve 

 by gentle heat; when cool, add the cajeput oil, shake thoroughly before it sets, 

 and pour into large-mouthed bottles, to allow the finger to reach it for applica- 

 tion, else it has to be warmed, to pour into the hand for application. 



Remarks — Some people prefer the Opodeldoc Liniment to others, especi 

 ally for paralysis, enlarged joints, indolent tumors, rheumatism, lumbago, chil- 

 blains, etc., for which this is recommended, both to arouse the absorbents and 

 to stimulate the nerves to action, by which a cure is eflfected when accomplished 

 at all. 



17. Liniment— White's Nerve and Bone. — Gum camphor, oils 

 of sassafras, cedar, and origanum, each 2 ozs.; oil of cajeput, 1 oz.; aqua 

 ammonia; 1 oz. ; oil of tar, 2 dra.: sulphuric ether, 4 ozs. ; best alcohol, 3 qts. ; 

 solution of analine (red), 10 or 15 drops— to improve the color; mix, and keep 

 closely corked. 



Remarks.— Hlx. White is a druggist in Eaton Rapids, Mich., from whom I 

 obtained this receipt. He kept this liniment on sale for a number of years. 

 This is the liniment I refer to under the head of " Carbuncles." He speaks of 

 It as a mild liniment, and the boys using it on their hands while playing ball, to 

 prevent blistering, called it " Base Ball Liniment." 



18. Chloroform Liniment, Especially for Strains, Sprains, 

 etc. — Chloroform, 1 fluid oz. ; camphor gum, % oz. ; shake together till dis- 

 solved, then add olive oil, 1 oz. ; tinct. cantharides, 1 dr.; keep well corked, as 

 chloroform is very evaporative. 



Remarks. — A nephew of mine, from whom I received this recipe, found 

 more benefit from it on a strained knee, with which he suffered for two years, 

 than any other liniment. Let it be used freely, when used at all, and it must 

 do good from the known nature of the ingredients.
