Weakness remaining after a sprain is
cured by fomenting the part daily with
beef brine. Suppose the ancle sprained :
— 1st. Foment it with warm vinegar four
or five times every four hours. 2nd.
Stand, if you can, three or four minutes
at a time on both your feet, and fre-
quently move the sprained foot. Some-
times also while sitting with your foot
on a low stool, move it to and fro.
3rd. Let it be gently rubbed with a
warm hand at least thrice a-day. 4th.
Two hours after every application of the
vinegar, let it be just wetted with spirits
of wine, and then gently rubbed.
SPRAINS. — Take a few globules
of Rhus Toxicodendron, and apply to
the sprained part this Rhus liniment for
about 10 minutes, and repeat twice a
day for three days. The Rhus is sold
by the Homoeopathic chemists.
SPRAINS of the Muscles of
the Back. — Take of Canada turpen-
tine, y, oz. ; soap liniment, 6 ozs., and
one-pennyworth of laudanum. Mix,
and rub well in before a hot fire.
SPRATS, to Broil. — Sprats are
very good and nutritious food ; but to
be enjoyed they must be eaten in the
room in which they are cooked ; they
admit of few removes, on account of
becoming cold so soon.
When cleaned, they should be fasten-
ed in rows by a skewer run through the
head, and then broiled; dredge with
flour, and place on a gridiron over a
nice clear fire for 4 or 5 minutes.
Grease the gridiron✪ Sprats, to Broil. Or, they may be
done in a Dutch oven.
SPRATS, to Bake. — Rub them
with salt and pepper ; put into a deep
dish ; cover with vinegar and port wine ;
cover and place in the oven all night✪ Sprats, to Bake.
Cochineal liquor gives them a rich
colour. They keep well.

SQUILL MIXTURE.— Take
of simple cinnamon-water, 5 ozs. ; vine-
gar of squills, 1 oz. ; syrup of marsh-
mallows, 1 J4 oz✪ Squill Mixture. • Mix them. This
mixture, by promoting expectoration
and the secretion of urine, proves ser-
viceable in asthmatic and dropsical
habits. A tablespoonful at a time.
STAINS AND SPOTS.
Stains.— 1 Any article stained,
either with fruit, wine, ink, or mildew,
must first be wet in clear cold water.
If it is of material that it is not best to
wet all over, lay the place stained on a
clean skirt or bosom board, wet a clean
towel or sponge in cold water, and gen-
tly sponge or wipe the stain till quite
wet. After this, apply a lotion made of
one tablespoonful lemon-juice, one of
the purest cream of tartar, and one tea-
spoonful oxalic acid ; put all into a pint
of clean rain-water✪ Stain Removal Lotion. Shake it often
while using it. Apply with a soft cloth
till the spot is saturated with the lotion ;
then sponge off again in clear cold
water. Repeat till the stain disappears.
If this lotion is used very soon after the
article has been stained, it will at once
remove the stain. After it has been
dried in, it is more difficult to efface.
If the article cannot be washed after
using this mixture, white-currant juice
is better than the lemon. This prepara-
tion can be safely used on the most
delicate articles if carefully sponged off
as soon as the spots disappear. As
oxalic acid is a deadly poison, it is not
wise to prepare more than will be used
at one time.
