In all cases where the Magnetic Oint¬ ment is applied to the whole surface of the body, stimulating drinks should be given freely, but this will not be necessary when used only on a part of the body. IN ACUTE INFLAMMATION OF THE LUNGS, it should be applied very freely to the chest and the back, between the shoulder-blades, once in 12 hours (night and morning), and faithfully rubbed and heated in. In Coil- sumption and all affections of the and HroxKClli&l 'S'uto'K® apply freely at night. FOR ULCERATED SORE THROAT.— Spread a thick coating of tne Ointment on a fold of woolen cloth and bind about the part affected. If the soreness is not entirely gone in 12 hours, renew the Ointment. It is well to apply it in this manner whenever there is soreness or pain in the region of the lungs, or in case of a protracted cough. CROUP OR RATTLES. — For this dangerous disease the Magnetic Oint¬ ment may be relied on as an unfailing remedy, if applied in season. Apply profusely to the throat and chest and heat it in. Ransom’s Hive Syrup and Tolu should be used in connection with the Ointment. See remarks on Ran¬ som’s Hive Syrup and Tolu in other parts ofi this book. DIPHTHERIA (PUTRID SORE THROAT).— Trask’s Magnetic Ointment will certainly prevent and cure these alarming diseases if used early. Apply to the throat and chest and cover with a hot flannel. PILES. -In cases of Piles it acts like a charm, affording positive relief ; there is no liniment in the world equal to it for the cure of Piles. Apply to the parts affected and across the small of the back.
