SORB WOSE — Akin to Erysipelas — Certain Cure.— I had a 



case of sore nose, a very bad case, which nothing in the ordinary line of treat- 

 ment would benefit at all, except for a very short time. The sufferer would 

 cry out: " Cannot something be done to relieve this intolerable suffering," 

 etc. Directions — I prepared a little stick, 3 or 4 inches in length, and wound 

 It with 3 or 4 thicknesses of cotton cloth, wrapped with thread, and dipped this 

 Into the full strength muriated tincture of iron, and held it firmly, for }^ min- 

 ute, or so, to each spot, and over the inflamed nose, and to the inner edges, 

 where it was sorest. The first moment or two it smarted like fire, but I held 

 It the more firmly and said never mind that, it won't be so bad next time. 

 So night and morning, for 3 or 4 days, then once daily as much longer, made 

 a perfect cure — now over 6 months, without the least return and no sign of 

 soreness remaining. I should continue to apply for a month or more, if ne- 

 cssary, or until cured. I gave him also internally 5 drops of the same tinc- 

 ture 3 times daily in a little water. Of course he had an iron-colored nose, but 

 a piece of lemon rubbed on a few times soon removed that ornamental shade 

 and left him all right again, the same as it will remove recent iron rust spots 

 from clothing. 



Sore Fingers of Printers, etc., to Cure and Blood Blisters 

 to Prevent.— I. Generally a compositor's (type-setter's) sore fingers result 

 from lye, low cases, splinters, scratches in handling brass rule, paper cuts, type 

 poison, etc., and often occasion loss of time, expensive doctoring and great 

 pain. For these sores a correspondent writes: " I have never lost an hour from 

 business, nor been put to more than a trifling expense. Plentiful and frequent 

 application of laudanum has been my panacea (cure all). It also cleanses, re- 

 moves the soreness and rapidly heals old sores." 



II. Blood blisters may be prevented from forming by immediately rub- 

 bing the bruise briskly with any non-poisonous hard substance. — London Pho- 

 netic Journal. 



Rimarks. — The fact here given as to the curative action of laudanum upon 

 sore fingers, and old sores, is that laudanum alone would be valuable upon all 

 ordinary chaps, or cracks upon the hands, lips, etc. , no matter from what cause 

 they may have arisen, as the opium relieves the pain, and the alcohol in it stim- 

 ulates the parts to heal. 



CARBTTNCLE— Treatment Which Saves Pain and Soreness 

 —Also Applicable to Boils.— Having just passed through a three weeks, 

 siege with a six hole carbuncle, I feel competent to tell others how I saved 

 myself much pain, soreness and suffering, although it is bad enough when all 

 has been done that can be done for relief. 



What it might have proved without my mitigating treatment, I do not 

 know; it was the agony that compelled me to adopt some plan of relief; hence 

 I took: 



I. A mild liniment, Mrs. Chase's, given In this book (any mild liniment 

 yiVHL do), 2 ozs. ; chloroform, 1 oz. ; laudanum, 1 oz. ; mixed. Shaken, when
