EEMARKABLE CUEE. 1079 



Remarkable Cure. 



The following is a case of remarkable cure of bruise of thigh, from the 

 use of hot salt. 



H. D. Johnson, of Pottsdam, St. Lawrence Co., N. Y. , fell from a build- 

 ing, twelve feet, upon a pile of wood, injuring him seriously in different parts 

 of the body — the thigh very seriously bruised, causing him to faint away. 

 He had a stiff leg for a month, the part swollen from the hip to the foot to 

 twice its size, was treated with cold water by advice of three physicians. 

 The limb was entirely stiff and disabled. As a matter of experiment he 

 bound on a poultice of hot salt about an inch thick before going to bed. Next 

 morning he could move and bend his leg, the swelling was all gone down, 

 and he was perfectly cured. 



The simple facts, as stated above, were given to the writer six years after 

 the injury of Mr. Johnson. 



For Rheumatism, Lame Back, and Difficulty of the Kid- 

 neys (in man). 



Digitallis, calcium, and aconite, equal parts. Take 10 to 15 drops in 

 water, twice a day. This is a favorite prescription that is valued highly, — 

 worth, so claimed, many times the cost of this work. 



For Infant Colic, or Restlessness. 



Homeopathic pellets, medicated with the third dilution of chamamilla. 

 Also of great benefit in derangements of the bowels, during teething. Dose 

 from 2 to 6 pellets. 



The above has been recommended so highly, and I am made to believe 

 is so valuable a remedy, in addition to being entirely harmless, that I am in- 

 duced to include it for the benefit of families. 



To Cure Insomnia (Sleeplessness). Also Good for Cold and 



Biliousness. 



First get into a bath of a temperature of 98°, into which had been put 1 

 pound sal soda and 4 ounces aquae ammonia. The head should be kept wet 

 with cold water. Gradually increase the temperature as high as can be 

 borne, or to 110° to 115°, remaining in from 10 to 15 minutes. When there 

 is nervousness, itching of the skin, causing disturbance and irritation after 

 the bath, take 1 part aquae ammonia to 4 parts warm water, and apply to the 

 skin with a sponge over the entire body. 



Prescribed by an eminent physician, of New York City ; given me by 

 a gentleman well read in medicine, who used it with great success. Referred 

 to a number of cases entirely relieved and cured by a few baths. The atten- 

 tion of physicians is particularly directed to the value of the above. 



The bath should be taken before going to bed.
