TREATMENT OF SCROFULA.— ist. The external or exciting causes
should all be removed ; good, wholesome food, pure air, cheerful employ¬
ment, suitable clothing, etc., should be provided. It is best to wear flannel
next* to the skin, as it equalizes the temperature, at the same time it absorbs
| the viscid perspiration; and prevents its being taken up by the Lymphatics
; and carried into the system * Eat fat meats of all kinds; it is a mistaken
| notion that fat should be avoided by Scrofulous persons. Don’t everybody
know that Cod Liver Oil is one < f the best remedies for Scrofulous diseases'?
That is simply because it is oil or fat. zd. The proximate cause of all
Scrofulous diseases being the same, viz: bad, unhealthy secretions, it fol¬
lows that the indications of cure are the same, namely, changing the char¬
acter of the secretions, removing the acrimony and restoring the Lymphatic
system to healthy action. The j&Lil* of Sllood; of all others,
is the medicine to be relied, upon to effect this object. The history given of
Scrofula covers that of all diseases that are produced by a Scrofulous habit
or constitution. See remarks on Consumption in other parts of this
book alsf) remarks concerning other diseases derived from Scrofula in our
'‘ Treatise on Diseases of the Blood,” accompanying each bottle of the med-
! icine. Many certificates of the King of the Blood, which we are unable
I to insert here, will be also found in the Treatise. (22)
Use Trask’s Magnetic Ointment in connection with the K. B. for skin diseases.
T
Miscellaneous Receipts.
Y© PREVENT LOGS AND PLANKS FROM SPLITTING. -Logs and
planks split at the ends because the exposed surface dries faster than the
inside. Saturate muriatic acid with lime, and apply like whitewash to the
ends. The chloride of calcium formed attracts moisture from the air, and pre¬
vents the splitting.
TO REMOVE TAN. —Tan may be removed from the face by mixing mag¬
nesia in soft water to the consistency of paste, which should then be
spread on the face and allowed to remain a minute or two. Then wash off
with castile-soap suds, and rinse with soft water.
TO PROTECT NEWLY PLANTED CORN.— To prevent the corn being
destroyed or eaten by chickens, birds, or insects, before it grows through
the surface of the soil, prepare the seed before planting by sprinkling a suffi¬
cient portion of coal tar, procured at the gas manufactory, through it, stirring
so that a portion will adhere to each grain ; then mix among the corn some
ground plaster-of-Paris, which will prevent the tar from sticking to the fingers
of those who drop the com, and vegetation will be promoted thereby. The tar
and plaster will not injure the corn so as to prevent its growing, by being kept
some days after it is so mixed together.
TO PROTECT CORN STALKS FROM MiCE.— Sprinkle from four to
six bushels of dry white sand upon the roc., of the stack before the thatch
is put on. The sand is no detriment to the corn, and stacks thus dressed have
remained without injury. -So very effective is the remedy, that nests of dead
young mice have been found where the sand has been used, but not a live
mouse could be seen.
