Cold Water.-I have known q swelling
upon a child's forehead, US big as a pig
cons egg occasioned by fall and be-
cause there happened to be no camphor
in the bottle, the sympathising mother
had nothing to do, but sit down and cry
over her child. Now she should know
that cloths dipped in cold water or ifin
winter, when it can he obtained, snow
ball wrapped up in cloth, and held up
on the swelling, will do more good than
gallon of camphor.
Ihave known persons heat rum to wash
the head with, in violent headaches,
when showcring it with cold water, or "A
cap of snow, will do great deal of good,
as we might expect.
i have known good nurse put on
bruised wOrmwOod, stepped in boiling
vinegar,tO sprained ankle, to keep the
swelling down, but, according to the laws
ofour nature, all hot applications, in such
cases, do hurt. We must apply cold to
do any good. Let pitchers full of cold
water be poured from a height Upon
such un ankle, and the inflammation will
be very soon subdued.- Education Re
