ISO DR. CEASE'S SECIPES. 



vent evaporation. Dr. T. B. King, of this city (Toledo), claims it will remove 

 ordinary or rheumatic pain in one minute, and that it will blister in three min- 

 utes. So be careful when you do not desire to blister. If the pain moves to 

 any other part, follow it up in the same manner. 



BLEEDING— A Styptic Which Will Stop Bleeding of the 

 Largest Vessels. — Brandy, or common whisky, 2 ozs. ; castile soap, 2 drs. ; 

 carbonate of potash, 1 dr. Directions — Scrape the soap fine and dissolve it 

 in the spirits; then add the potiish; mix well and keep corked. Warm it and wet 

 pledgets of lint in it and apply to the wound. It immediately congeals the 

 blood and coagulates it some distance within the vessel. It may need repeating 

 for deep wounds and when limbs are cut off. 



Remarks. — I am sorry I cannot give the name of the writer, or the papel 

 in which this was published, having had it in my scrap-book for some time; 

 but I am satisfied that it is reliable. 



ST. VITUS' DANCE, or Shaking Palsy, Cure for.— Tincture of 

 black cohosh, 6 ozs. ; bromide of potassium, 13^ ozs. ; mix. Dose — For an adult, 

 1 tea-spoonful 3 times daily, an hour after meals. 



Remarks. — W. W. Stimson, M. D., of Connereville, Miss., reports in the 

 Medical Brief, the cure of a young lady of 15 years, who had had this annoying 

 trouble so bad that she would not go into company for over a year, her speech 

 even being affected. Two weeks cured this case. But in older persons and of 

 longer standing it may require months. There is no danger in its use; but after 

 taking the above amount I would wait a week before beginning on a new pre- 

 scription of same amount. Look after general health in all cases. Younger 

 persons will take less according to age. 



1. FELON— Bemedy for.— A small piece of calf's rennet soaked in 

 milk and tied around the finger, renewing occasionally, will cure any case of 

 felon. 



Remarks. — I do notTknow who tried this, to make the assertion, nor have I 

 had a chance to test it; yet I have no doubt of its value. But as the rennet 

 may not always be at hand, I will give the following, the ingredients of which 

 may always be obtained: 



2. Felon Salve— Successful Treatment. — A salve made of soap and 

 spirits of turpentine, a very small proportion of the latter, just enough to 

 moisten the soap, which has been shaved from a bar. "I have known it," says 

 "H. S. P.," of Byron, Wis., to one of the papers, "to cure the worst felons, 

 and I never knew it to fail when applied." To which the editor added: " Thtf 

 above is a well-known remedy in the editor's family, and has always been con 

 sidered infallible, if applied in the earlier stages." 



3. Felon— Warranted Cure for.— F. F. Lewis, of Whitewater, Wis , 

 says: " Wind a cloth loosely about the finger, leaving the end free. Pour in 

 common gunpowder till the afllicted part is entirely covered; then keep the 

 whole constantly wet with strong spirits of camphor. Warranted to remove 

 all pain in two hours. Have seen it tried many times, and never without abso- 

 lute cure and without pain or injury to the hand,"
