requires SOME care and skill In the

cold mustard plaster to q patient. To a
weak or sensitive person the shock is
often great Either mix with very hot
water, or, better still, have n plate put
where 1t can yet warm while you are
mixing Having everything ready at
hand, mustard, flour and spoonful of
molasscs, with bit of old muslin or
lElen-an old handkerchief is the best
thing for the purpose. Stir the mustard
and flour together first, making the
plaster stronger or weaker with mus
tard as you have been directed. Add
the molasses and then the water until
the smooth mass is about as thick as
porridgc or poultice Spread your cloth
Oh the warm plate, using the middle
portion of the linen and leaving mar
gin on all sides. which is to be folded
back at the edges Put second cloth
over the whole. so that the mustard is
entirely hid between the two covers and
keep on the plate until it is necessary
to apply tho plaster. Philadelphia
