MEDICAL HINTS.
IMPLE remedies for accidents and common diseases are most
suitable for use in ordinary families, and simple things are
(V)^ often the best. The following list of simple and effectual
remedies which are well adapted for home use will be found
of great value in any family, and will save our readers many
doctor's bills as v/ell as much pain and suffering often, and possibly
may even save a life.
TO TAKE A PILL. — Drop it under the tongue and take a swal-
low of water at once. Disagreeable pills can be taken in this way
without tasting them. A well corked bottle is better than a box to
keep pills in.
Powders can be best taken mixed in jam, syrup, honey or milk.
TO REMOVE THE TASTE OF NAUSEOUS MEDICINES FROM
THE MOUTH. — Chew a piece of bread and then spit it out.
ACIDITY OF THE STOMACH — Lime=water taken after each
meal in doses of 1 to 2 oz. is excellent. Or (2) take one teaspoon of
calcined magnesia in a wineglass of water. Or (3) eating a small
quantity of dry rice will often correct it. (4) Relief will generally
result from taking 10 grains of burnt carbonate of magnesia, 1 grain
of powdered rhubarb and 1 grain of ginger in a little warm water 2
or 3 times a day.
ASTHMA — Dissolve in water all the saltpetre it will hold; dip
blotting paper in this solution, and roll strips of it in the form of
cones or cigars. When dry, burn them, letting the patient inhale the
fumes. It often affords quick relief. Or (2) smoking the leaves of
thorn-apple or jimpson weed, at the commencement of the attack, acts
like magic with many people.
BITES OF SNAKES.— Check the circulation of the blood by ty-
ing a handkerchief, rope or something else, around the limb between
the wound and the heart. At the same time suck the wound as hard
as possible to draw out the poison, spitting out the blood at once.
Also give whiskey, brandy or other liquor, a gill at a time, until in-
toxication occurs. It is surprising how much liquor will be needed,
but persevere until intoxication results. This is one of the few
things that whiskey is good for.
BLISTERS — Keep them from breaking if possible. To punc-
ture them and draw off the fluid inside is a mistake. Bathe them in
warm water, and cover with court plaster, or if very severe apply
salve and then bind on a soft rag.
BOILS. — Bind on a slice of ripe tomato; change frequently and
burn the old slices. It affords speedy relief, is cool, soothing and
