Good in the same category of complaints as the last. I pre- 

 fer to use it moderately hot in very painful and acute cases, 

 keeping the affected parts constantly wet by means of a linen 

 bandage, and giving support to the limb by means of a high- 

 heeled shoe, at the same time carefully expanding the quarters 

 where the soft-tissues are highly inflamed and create an evident 

 pressure against the horny textures of the foot. 



20. RHUS TOXICODENDRON LOTION. 



Tincture of Rhus Tox., 1 ounce, 

 Water, 1 pint. 



I have known this to remove sore and weak ankles when 

 other applications have failed. 



After the feet have been expanded, this lotion facilitates the 

 removal of soreness and old rheumatic symptoms from the 

 joints, the best of any, in conjunction with the frequent appli- 

 cation of hot water. 



21. GOULARD LOTION. 



Goulard's Extract, 2 drachms, 



Water, 1 pint, 



Spirits of Wine, 2 ounces. 



This is an excellent cooling and soothing application where 

 the tissues have become inflamed by severe labor, or from the 

 effects of stimulating applications when injudiciously employed. 

 Keep the parts constantly moist with it by means of a linen 

 bandage. 



22. NITRATE OF LEAD LOTION. 



Nitrate of Lead, 1 drachm, 

 Distilled water, 1 pint. 



Deodorizing and Cooling in Greasy ulcerous sores.
