part ; and is used with the usual '

two or three drachms for chronic

Tukpentine — is one of tin' best 

 diuretics, in doses of half an 

 ounce, and made into a ball with 

 linseed meal and powdered gin- 

 ger. The oil of turpentine is an 

 excellent antispasmodic. For the 

 removal of colic, it stands unri- 

 valled. 



Zinc — Calamine Powder. — Five 

 parts of lard and one of resin are 

 melted together, and when these 

 begin to get eool, two parts of 

 the calamine, reduced to an im- 

 palpable powder, are stirred in. 

 If the wound is not healthy, a 

 small quantity of common tur- 

 pentine may be added. This 

 salve justly deserves the name 

 which it has gained, "The Heal- 

 ing Ointment." The calamine 

 is sometimes sprinkled with ad- 

 vantage on cracked heels and su- 

 perficial sores.
