Dressing for Greasy Heels. 



Blue vitriol, half a pound ; 



White vitriol, four ounces ; all in fine pow-

 above liquors while hot, and the whole be 

 well stirred till the powders are all dis* 

 solved, when they may be put into a bottle 

 for use.

 ful medicine in checking the progress of this dis- 

 ease. When the heels have been well dressed 

 with the above sharp water, or (No. 145, p, 228), 

 take proper pledgets, made of tow, or hurds, and 

 spread them with the following ointment; then 

 apply them on the part that greases, and bandage 

 them on with a flannel roller, or an old stocking- 

 leg. This done, let it be bandaged a second 

 time, either with strong list, or with broad tape.
