BRUISES. 91 



These oils may be rubbed on the parts affected 

 twice a day at the first, for several days together ; 

 after which, once a day will be sufficient, as soon 

 as the inflammation begins to subside : or the fol- 

 lowing repellant application may be administered. 



(RECIPE, No. 63.) 



Take — Compound soap liniment, four ounces ; 



Water of pure ammonia, spuit of turpentine, 



and tuicture of opium, of each one ounce : 

 Mix them in a bottle for use. 



Or, the following : 



(RECIPE, No. 61.) 

 Cooling Lotion, 



Take — Camphorated spirit of wine, six ounces; 



Tincture of opium ; water of acetated litharge 



(goulard) ; of each two ounces : 

 Mix, and put them in a phial for use. 



Either of these two last preparations will be 

 found excellent for bruises occasioned by the 

 saddle. Gentlemen keeping a number of horses 

 for hunting or the road, cannot do better than have 

 a bottle ready filled for use. In the latter case, 

 when the bruised part becomes large, and ap- 

 proaches towards suppuration, the following mixed 

 oils will answer the intention much better.
