When Using a Mustard plaster

The convenience of the bought mustard
plaster Is so great that it has practically
superseded the homemade one. 1t does
not burn so easily as the latter. but even
so, care must be taken in applying it.
To avoid chill, dip the plaster in warm
Instead OF cold water. before applying.
Do not remove II at the first lament
Of the patient that it burns. The object
OF mustard plaster is to burn and there
Is no reason to put one on If it is re-
moved too soon.
On the other hand il is inexcusably
careless to allow placter to blister
Keep watch on It and when the flesh
seems distinctly red, with a redness that
does not quickly fade, remove the plaster.
Dry OF the spot, apply a little vaseline
or cold cream and cover with a soft
piece Of linen or old handkerchief.
