TO MAKE ELDER OINTMENT. 



• 



Take the green leaves of elder, if they can be 

 had; if not, take of the inside bark any quantity 

 and lard in proportion to the elder, then fry to 

 a crisp, which will be found very efficacious in 

 healing sores, scalds, burns, i^prains, or any hu- 

 morous swelling. The elder alone fried in the 

 same manner and strained, makes a much better 

 ointment. This is worth making and keeping 

 •on hand, as its cost is a mere trifle.
