the jaundice.

Cotton wool and oil are the best things for a burn. When children are
burned, it is difficult to make them endure the application of cotton
wool. I have known the inflammation of a very bad burn extracted in
one night, by the constant application of brandy, vinegar, and water,
mixed together. This feels cool and pleasant, and a few drops of
paregoric will soon put the little sufferer to sleep. The bathing
should be continued till the pain is gone.

A few drops of the oil of Cajput on cotton wool is said to be a great
relief to the tooth-ache. It occasions a smart pain for a few seconds,
when laid upon the defective tooth. Any apothecary will furnish it
ready dropped on cotton wool, for a few cents.

A poultice made of ginger or of common chickweed, that grows about
one's door in the country, has given great relief to the tooth-ache,
when applied frequently to the cheek.

A spoonful of ashes stirred in cider is good to prevent sickness
at the stomach. Physicians frequently order it in cases of
cholera-morbus.

When a blister occasioned by a burn breaks, it is said to be a good
plan to put wheat flour upon the naked flesh.

The buds of the elder bush, gathered in early spring, and simmered
with new butter, or sweet lard, make a very healing and cooling
ointment.
