478 lewis' AMERICAN SPORTSMAN. 



The following is an excellent collyrium to be used in slight 

 inflammation of the eye arising from Avounds, cold, and such 

 like causes, 



K. — Vinegar one teaspoonful ; 



Laudanum thirty drops ; 



Water eight teaspoonfuls. 



This preparation can be had at all times, as there is scarce 

 a family in any part of the country that has not a little lauda- 

 num to dose a squalling child, or to cure an attack of helly- 

 ache. 



SORE THROAT. 



If the throat should feel sore from exposure to wet feet, or any 

 other of those numerous causes that all Sportsmen are open to 

 during their excursions, have recourse to the following gargle, 

 which we have used, over and over again, with perfect success 

 in such cases. We have also recommended it frequently to our 

 friends with like results : — 



R. — Barley water two and a half teacups; 



Honey two tablespoonfuls ; 



Vinegar four tablespoonfuls; 



Tincture of myrrh three teaspoonfuls. 

 Mix and use frequently. 



If these ingredients cannot be obtained, take equal quantities 

 of vinegar and water with a sprinkle of Cayenne pepper, and 

 gargle. The throat should be rubbed with hartshorn, oil, and 

 laudanum ; even goose-grease will help.
