mustard plaster on the stomach and bowels is an excellent thing to settle the stomach. It is recom- mended to burn a sulphur stick on a pan of coals, the size of a hickory nut (break it fine), three or four times a day, with open windows and doors, as a disin- fectant. This is good also for tubercular affections of the lungs, for man and beast. Saucers of chloride of lime should stand in the room. The Queen Cook Book Vj^ To Extract a Piece of Needle or Glass from THE Foot or Hand. Bind on hand as soon as possible a slice of well salted fat pork (fresh jpiece) every night and morning, until you find it on the pork. I once had the smallest point of a needle in the ball of my foot. It was twenty- four hours before I could make the application of salt pork wet with the brine. Just twenty-four hours after the first application, as it was removed for the third piece, I found the needle point on the pork. This is equally affective for injury by a nail or a piece of iron, or a sprained ankle or wrist. Bathe the parts first with spirits of turpentine; then bind it on tight. Many a sore and wound has been cured by bathing in strong green tea and a plaster of Dalley's ointment. But with any of these applications you must keep the foot up in a chair. A Mustard Plaster.
