half an ounee, vinegar or

.e~uiee

fiK

ounees, white

.itriol, di!Tol,ed in four ounees of fpring water, one

ounee; mix togethec.

In the lo"'er limbs the farey lies fometin,es eooeealed

for a great while, and makes fa Oow a progrefs, that it

is of,eo minaken for greafe, or for a blow or kiek, and

goes by the general appellation of ahurnour fcttled there.

In order to diOinguilh the ooe from the other, \l/e fhall

obrerve that a kick, or bruife, is generally auer.ded with

a fudden fwelling, or a eootufed \l/ound, whieh for the

filan par! digens eafily: lhe greafe is alfo a fmooth flVell

ing that breaksout above the bending of lhe panernsbaek–

\mds; but the farey begins on the panern joint ufually

with one bud, and runs oplVards like a knouy erab-tree.

Very fimple means ha.efometimes nopped It,before it has

begun to fpread; a poultiee with bran and verjuiee bound

rocnd the pan, and renewed once a-day, will oCIen

a–

lone fucceed; and if proud flefh 010uld arife, tOueh it

with oil of .itriol, or aqua fortis, ao hour befare you

apply the poultiee; for when the di(\emper is local, as

fuppofe it here, it is to

eODquered by outward appli–

eatiOM.

Wheo the dinemper gro\l/S in.eterate, and refins the

above method, and the ve!Tels continue dlOrded, Gibfon

recommends the following mixture.

TAKE linfeed oil half

pint; oil of turpentine and

fal¡.petre, of eaehrhree ounees ; tinélureof euphorbi–

um and hellebore, of eaeh t\l/O drams; the loldiers
