 ward stimulant. It is most valuable in chronic rheumatism and other 

 painful affections. It is especially valuable as an outside application in 

 sore throat or diseased bowels. 



1 quart Olive Oil. 



4 ounces Gum Camphor. 



Mix and put the bottle in hot water. Keep in hot water till the camphor 

 is thoroughly di.ssolved. Its full strength and benefit is best obtained, 

 if the parts treated are covered with oil-silk after the liniment is applied. 



Spirits of Camphor. A quantity- of this remedy should always 

 be on hand, read>' to be used as an external application for sprains, 

 local pains and stitches. 



1 quart of Alcohol, 



4 ounces of Camphor Gum. 



The gum will readily dissolve in the alcohol. It should be applied by 

 rubbing the painful part with the hand. Cover the part after rubbing 

 with flannel, wet with the camphor. 



Camphor may be beaten for some time in a mortar and not be reduced 

 to a powder, but if a few drops of the spirits of wine be added it may de 

 easily be made fine. Adding water to camphor dissolved in alcohol 

 turns it white.
