Or OF MUSTARD IN RHEUMATISM. -
Where one. third of the male population
complain to some extent of rheumatic
pains, in the tickle climate Of New Eng
land, but more especially along the sea-
shore, physicians have it in their power
to mitigate an immense amount of severe
suffering by prescribing the volatile oil
of mustard. 1t is employed as rube-
facient, being first diluted in its own
weight of alcohol at forty degrees Some
patients may object to its pungent odor ;
but that is temporary, while the remedy
may in some cases prove permanent
cure. Make the application at least
twice day, and protect the part with
scit flannel Mustard mills are in oper
alton in the cities generally, at which
the oil may be procured, it being al
article not much in demand in the arts
Were it not for detecting it by pun
, gent odor, this oil would have become
secret remedy for rheumatic pains year
ago. A nostrum loses miraculous eff
{ cheney and curative properties in becom
ing known Medical World.
