bag festers, watch for a soft place in the swelling, and, as

lance the bag, if it smells bad, put a few drops of carbolic 
acid in the water that you bathe it with ; this stops the bad 
odor and cleans the wound. Continue treatment as given 
above. 
In case the bag mortifies give plenty of bathing with 
the hot carbolic water, as above mentioned, three times a 
day, then apply the white lotion, and give the drench men- 
tioned above once a week instead of every second day. The 
mortified portion gradually rots away and heals.
