will be advisable to avoid pepper and
much salt, but not otherwise.
Mr. Wesley recommends the follow-
ing : — Live chastely : feed sparingly :
use exercise constantly : sleep moder-
ately, but never lying on your back.
Take eight grains of jalap every eight
days. This usually cures in five weeks.
Or, make Venice turpentine, flour,
and fine sugar, equal quantities, into
small pills. Take three or four of these
morning and evening. This also cures
most pains in the back. Or, take yel-
low resin, powdered, 1 or. ; conserve of
roses, oz. ; powdered rhubarb, 3
drms. ; syrup, a sufficient quantity to
make an electuary. Take a large tea-
spoonful of this twice a day, in a cup of
comfrey-root tea.
WHITE SWELLING.— This
is a very painful disease; it more fre-
quently affects the knee than any other
joint ; sometimes the hip, ancle, and
elbow. At first a severe pain is felt
penetrating the joint, or only one par-
ticular part of the joint. The least
motion aggravates the pain. It soon
begins to swell considerably, and sup-
puration takes place. Matter is dis-
charged from several openings or ulcers,
the bones are affected ; and if the dis-
ease is not arrested, the life of the
patient is endangered.
Treatment. — Avoid the old sys-
tem of treatment by the allopathic
doctors, by mercury, blistering, setons,
amputation, &c. Attend to the stomach
and bowels, giving an emetic, and an
aperient, if needed ; to be followed by
bitter tonics occasionally, giving the
Alterative Syrup, page 16, diluted
when first taken ; or a decoction of
sarsaparilla, sassafras, guiacum, queen’s
delight, unicorn root, cleavers, prickly
ash berries, of each 1 oz. Simmer in a
covered pan with two quarts of water
down to three pints. Sweeten. A des-
sert spoonful three or four times a day.
Steam the part with bitter herbs, and
now and then give the vapour bath to
the whole body. After steaming the
affected part, rub the limb with the
Rheumatic Liquid.
Dr. Beach recommends the following ;
— “Oil of hemlock; oil of sassafras,
gum camphor, tincture of opium, K oz.
each, and a pint of spirit of wine.
When\ dissolved and properly mixed.

bathe the part with it frequently." —
Then apply in oatmeal and bran poul-
tice. mixed with a little finely powdered
charcoal, salt and cayenne pepper. If
the pain is great, sprinkle on the poul-
tice, % oi. of laudanum. Keep it on
as long as possible, and then steam.
WHITE SWELLING.— The
pain arising from white swellings, and
other similar swellings, may be instantly
eased thus : — Take the white of an egg,
and beat it up with two tablespoonfuls
of spring water ; rub the part affected
frequendy, but gently with the finger.
WHITE SWELLINGS.
Hold the part half an hour every morn-
ing under a pump or tap. This cures
all pains in the joints. It seldom fails.
— Tried. Or, pour on it daily a
stream of warm water. Or, a stream
of cold water one day, and warm the
next, and so on by turns. Use these
remedies at first, if possible. It is like-
wise proper to intermix gentle purges
to prevent a relapse. Or, boiled
nettles. — Wesley.
WHITINGS, to Choose.— The
firmness of the body and fins is to be
looked to, as in herrings ; their high
season is during the first three months
of the year, but they may be had a great
part of it. ✪ Whiting to Fry
