od lotion; but label it _poison_, as
it should never go near the mouth. Bathe the eyes with the mixture,
either with the hands or a small piece of linen cloth, allowing some
of the liquid to get under the lids.

Here is another from an eminent oculist: Take half an ounce of rock
salt and one ounce of dry sulphate of zinc; simmer in a clean, covered
porcelain vessel with three pints of water until all are dissolved;
strain through thick muslin; add one ounce of rose-water; bottle and
cork it tight. To use it, mix one teaspoonful of rain-water with one
of the eye-water, and bathe the eyes frequently. If it smarts too
much, add more water.

SUNSTROKE.

Wrap a wet cloth bandage over the head; wet another cloth, folded
small, square, cover it thickly with salt, and bind it on the back of
the neck; apply dry salt behind the ears. Put mustard plasters to the
calves of the legs and soles of the feet. This is an effectual remedy.

TO REMOVE WARTS.

Wash with water saturated with common washing-soda, and let it dry
without wiping; repeat frequently until they disappear. Or pass a pin
through the wart and hold one end of it over the flame of a candle or
lamp until the wart fires by the heat, and it will disappear.

Another treatment of warts is to pare the hard and dry skin from their
tops, and then touch them with the smallest drop of strong acetic
acid, taking care that the acid does not run off the wart upon the
neighboring skin; for if it does it will occasion inflammation and
much pain. If this is continued once or twice daily, with regularity,
paring the surface of the wart occasionally when it gets hard and dry,
the wart will soon be effectually cured.

SWAIM'S VERMIFUGE.

Worm seed, two ounces; valerian, rhubarb, pink root, white agaric,
senna, of each one ounce and a half. Boil in sufficient water to yield
three quarts of decoction. Now add to it ten drops of the oil of tansy
and forty-five drops of the oil of cloves, dissolved in a quart of
rectified spirit. Dose: one tablespoonful at night.

FAINTING. (Syncope.)

Immediately place the person fainting in a lying position, with head
lower than body. In this way consciousness returns immediately, while
in the erect position it often ends in death.

FOR SEVERE SPRAINS.

The white of an egg, a tablespoonful of vinegar and a tablespoonful of
spirits of turpentine. Mix in a bottle, shake thoroughly, and bathe
the sprain as soon as possible after the a
