up with the blood, simply with linen rag,
for sticking-plsster is no use until the bleed

hair must be shaved off before the plaster
is applied.
A grain or two of nitrate of silver In an
ounce OF distilled water makes very good
stimulating lotion for wounds or sores that
need such an application, but if they are
healing kindly, with even, white edges and
not much oxidation they do not want
stimulating.
Languid, indolent sores and fabby ulcers
want stimulating lotion applied with lint,
after the manner Of water-dr:ssing, and the
support of bandage. But l shonld Ike
my readers to bear in mind that the healing
of ulcers depends in very great measure
upon the state Of the constitution. The
blood must be strengthened by good food,
else the sore will moi heal. Wbv it cannot
Zeal unless you supply it with flesh Oh ming
material, and this material must come
from the U'ood. But, in addition to the
enrichment of the blood if the ulcer be in
the leg, this must be kept up as much as
possible and bandaSed firmly, but not too
zig htly, from the toes upward.
Four or five grains Of powdered alum or
sui hate of zine to the ounce of water make
another handy stimulating lotion. Goulard

spoonful of sugar of lead to a pint fwater;
it is rendered more cooling By the addition
