108 ZINC OR CALAMINB POWDER. 



ZINC OR CALAMINE POWDER 



This made into an ointment is valuable for 

 healing. Take five ounces of lard, one ounce 

 of rosin, melt them together and when these 

 begin to get cool, stir in 2 ounces of calamine, 

 finely powdered. If the wound is not healthy, 

 a small quantity of common turpentine may be 

 added. This salve justly deserves the name of 

 healing ointment. The calamine is sometimes 

 sprinkled with advantage on cracked heels.
