not considered serious enough TO d'
nand a physicians attention:

When a sprain occurs, lose no time
in attending to it, no matter how
trivial it may appear. Ascertain
whether there has been a fracture OF
dislocation. II so, send for a physician
as soon as possible, and keep perfectly
quiet until he arrives. If there is no
fracture or displacement of bones, but
only excessive swelling about the joint,
bathe the injured member in water as
hot as possible. Battle from fifteen to
thirty minutes. renewing the water oc-
casionally, and applying with a sponge.
Then wrap the injured member in
strips OF flannel saturated with hot
water and cover with dry cloths. Do
not use the sprained member until
recovered. Complete rest is the only
cure for sprain.
For bleeding from the nose. hold a
sponge saturated with cold water to
the nostrils and nape of the neck. In
case this does not succeed, the bleed
ing can be stopped by vigorous action
OF the jaws. If a child, a piece of
paper may be placed in the mouth and
the child instructed to chew hard. 1t
is the motion of the jaws that stops
the flow of blood.
To ease rheumatic pains. boil q few
potatoes and use the water in which
they were boiled. Dip some cloths in,
wiring out and apply as hot as possible.
A small vegetable press, such as are
retailed for 25 cents, is excellent to
wiring out hot cloths. 1t saves time
and scalded hands.
In case of a cut or jagged wound,
smoke the wound with burned flannel
on which has been placed q small
of sugar. Sprinkle q little
sulphur over the wound and tie up
with bandages and it will heal i'm.
mediately. A very dangerous wound,
made by q sewing machine needle
where the needle fragments were found
to have been bent almost double
against the bone, was cured in this
manner. The danger OF lockjaw and
the extreme pain were entirely 70
moved by holding the injured finger
and arm over the smoke of wooden
cloth burned over the Goals.
The following is recommended as q
cure for pneumonia: Take six to eigh,
onions, according to size, and chop
fine; put into large spider over q

quantity of rye meal and vinegar
enough to form thick paste. In the
meantime stir it thoroughly, then lei
it simmer five to ten minutes. Then
put it in . cotton bag made large
enough to cover the lungs. Apply to
the chest rs hot as the patient can
bear. When this gets cool apply an.
other and thus continue, reheatine
the poultices. and in a few hours the
patient will be out of danger. Usually
three or four applications will be suf
ficient, but continue until the per
spiration starts from the chest.
