OLD-WORLD REMEDIES FOR ACCIDENTS. kxtracts from a SEVENTEENTH CKNrURY HERBAL,. In the good old days every house had its doctor. If our ancestresses had not been able to prescribe their own homely remedies for burns and scalds, for bruises and cuts and chills, matters would have been serious indeed, when the roads were thick with snow and the village doctor’s nag lacked the locomotive capabilities of its machine-run rival to-day. Cookery books were often herbals as well. Plants were grown for the medicine cupboard, or were picked wild in the fields and woods and converted at home into ointments and salves. Many of the ingredients, in fact, contained in tire following seventeenth century receipts are the common everyday herbs of the cottage patch or the hedgerow. An Oyntment lor a Bruise with a Fall. —Take elder (lowers and beat them small in a mortar with beanflower bolted very fine, grind them all together till they be very small, then take them forth, and put them in a glass, and put there to sallet oyle and so let them stand until you have need of it. And for the elder, the more there be the better it is, and aunoint the patient against the fire. This is an approved medicine, A Plaister for a Thorn or Splinter. —’Take the root of flowerj de-luce (iris), stamp it small, and mix with turpentine and black soap and lay it to the sore. I A Plaister for the Headache. — Take the juice of wild mallowes and a piece of a rose cake, mix I them together, and lay them warme where the pain is. An Oyntment for Rednesse of the Face. Take saffron one ounce, white frankin sence, and myrrh, of every of them three ounces, camphire one ounce. Amber one ounce. Make of all these a fine powder and doe it with oyle of roses. A Special Oyntment for Burning or Scalding. —Take alehoose or hollyhoose, and chop it small, then fry it in May butter, if it be strong of the herb it will look green, then aunoint the sore place two or three times in a day. Plaisters to Take Out the Fire of Burning or Scalding. —Take the core of a quince, lay it in asawcer of water, and lay it to the burning, and it will take away the fire. Take an apple and bruise it solt, and lay it on the sore, and it will take out the fire in one hour. IF YOU HAVE ACOUGPI, Cold, Nose, Throat or Lung Trouble, Stomach Bowel, or Liver Complaint, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, USE SAN' DER’S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT; 5 drops in a tablespoon water. Remember, you cannot expect the good effects from any sort ff Eucalyptus. SANDER’S EXTRACT CURES because it contains ethereal and antiseptic substances not contained in other Eucalyptus products. These latter, made by persons ignorant in chemistry, and provided with fancy names and labels by trading concerns who do not know what they contain, have caused grievous harm and a death has resulted from this use. Do not apply an ointment to a sore! It keeps back the secretion. To wounds, bruises, sprains, burns, ulcers, eczema, and other skin troubles APPLY SANDER’S EXTRACT —15 drops in a tablespoon olive oil. The effect will surprise you. SANDER’S EXTRACT HEALS, because it is freed from the irritating constituents contained in other Eucalyptus preparations. It heals when others irritate. insist upon the GENUINE SANDER EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, and vou will derive the benefit.
