J76 WOUNDS 'Of VARIOUS PAKTS. 



Recipe-— Tincture for the Cure of Wounds. 



"Hature and extent of the wounds and its conse- 

 quences. 



In cases where wounds are out of the reach of 

 the finger to examine them, and are not suffi- 

 ciently wide to admit the hand, I have always 

 Yound a candle to be more suitable for the pur- 

 *pose than any instrument, the wound being less 

 liable to receive injury from it than from any 

 "bther 'thing. Wounds made with a cutting in- 

 •^trumerit, and which are not attended with any 

 'bruise or laceration, may, for the most part, be 

 •healed by the first intention. If it be on a part 

 •where a roller can be properly applied, it may be 

 neatly sewed together, and a pledget of lint dip- 

 ped in the following compound tincture. 



(RECIPE, No. 116.) 



,TAKE-~Compound tincture of benzoin, and tincture of 

 aloes, with myrrh, of each one oance; 

 Nitrous acid, two drachms; 

 Mix in a bottle for use.
