MAGIC LINIMENT. 



Take 2 oz. oil of spike ; 2 oz. origanum ; 2 oz, 

 hemlock ; 2 oz. wormwood ; 4 ounces sweet oil ; 

 2 oz. spirits ammonia ; 2 ounces gum camphor ; 

 2 oz. spirits turpentine ; i quart proof spirits. 

 Mix well and bottle for use. Cork tight. For 

 sprains, bruises, or lameness of any kind, this 

 liniment is unsurpassed. This is the same 

 liniment, leaving out the turpentine, which has 

 achieved so many wonderful cures for human 

 ailment. 



A more simple liniment can be made by put- 

 ting into spirits of turpentine all the gum 

 camphor it will cut. For ordinary purposes it is 

 fit for use ; but if you wish to reduce pain, add 

 as much laudanum as there is turpentine.
