ABOUT PoULTIcEs.
They Should Be Made Large and Applied
as Hot as Possible.

as Hot as Possible.
In making poultice, see that 1t is
large one-small ones do little or no
good-from half an inch to an inch
thick, the thicker the better, applied
as hot as can be borne, and renewed as
soon as it becomes cool. If covered
with piece of oil-silk, flannel or thin
rubber-cloth, it will hold the heat long
er and necessitate less frequent re-
newal. The vessel in which the meal
is to be mixed should be clean. Pour
in the requisite quantity of boiling
water, then add the faxseed-meal slow
ly, stirring continually with q large
spoon to prevent the formation of
Jumps, until it becomes stiff enough
not to run freely. 1t should then be
spread between two layers of old mus
lin and the edges folded over so as to
avoid soiling the part to which it is ap-
piled. AS there is no virtue in the ma
terial itself of which the poultice is
made, it is not essential that it should
be placed directly in contact with the
skin.
In pneumonia of children very i'm
portant part of the treatment with
most physicians ispoulticing the chest;
and,. as this disease is quite prevalent
during the colder months, it is right
that every mother should be familiar
with the manner of doing it. In the
case of child from one to three years
old about pound of haxseed-meal
should be used in each poultice. Take
a piece of muslin or large towel long
enough to 90 all around the patient
chest, and of sufficient width when
folded on it itself to extend from the
collar-bone to few inches below the
lower end of the breast-bone. The
meal, after being properly mixed,
should be spread evenly over one en-.
tire half, lengthwise, of the cloth,
which should then be folded over and
placed around the chest, with the open
edge upward, and fastened behind; to
prevent it from slipping down, which
it is liable to do if the child is at al
restless, it should be secured by a tape
| passing over each shoulder.
This poultice should be put on as ho
as the mother or nurse can tolerate il
against her cheek, covered with oil
silk or flannel, and renewed every five
or six hours. When the cool poultict
is to be removed, have fresh on,
ready for immediate application
