them.

Bruises and Olive Oil.
If olive OIL is literally applied, with
out rubbing, in the treatment of con-
tusions where there is an extensive
discoloration of the skin, the discolora-
tiOn will quickly disappear. The oil
may be soaked in absorbent cotton
and then applied. If the skin is
broken little boric acid should be
applied over the abrasion. A bruise
which is treated in this manner will
soon disappear, especially if warm
olive oil is applied.
