One of the best hot applica tions for
pain in pneumonia or dysentery Is a
flannel bag filled with hops and wrung
out with hot vinegar. The process
may be avoided by the use of two tin
plates. After the bag is ready pour
little vinegar in one plate, set it on the
stove and lay the bag in it. Place tho
other plate on the top to keep in the
steam. When the vinegar has all
evaporated into the hops add little
more and turn the bag. In few min
utes the bag will be steaming hot, but
not dripping. This keeps it light,
thing always to be considered when the
chest is weakened by pneumonia, and
saves the hands Of the nurse from tho
scalding vinegar. : Boston Common.
