The bowels must not be neglected,
j but kept open by gentle aperients, as
! castor oil, a weak infusion of salts and
senna, according to the strength of the
i patient. This tends to cool the system,
I and divert the humours from the chest
to the bowels.
Bronchitis from the acute sometimes
| passes into the chronic. The person in
such case should be well clothed, wear
flannel next to the skin — should avoid
exposure to cold and damp, and abstain
from alcoholic drinks. Indeed, in many
cases, bronchitis is caused by intemper-
ance, and also by much public speaking.
When the cough is violent and fast,
lake expectorants recommended in this
book, and apply to the chest the Stimu-
lating Ointment (which see) Dr. Beach
i advises the use of the Tar-bath exactly
in the following way : — Add one ounce
of common potash to one pound of tar,
to deprive it of its pyroligneous acid.
| Mix well, and boil together in the open
i air for fifteen minutes — then to be kept
j gendy simmering in the room of the
I patient. This may be done by placing
it over a spirit lamp.
The Irritating Plaster is very service-
j able in bronchial affections.
The Americans recommend the
smoking of Mullen leaves dried.
During the inflammation attendant
i on this complaint, the diet must be
I simple and soothing ; as gruels, sago,
rice, tapioca, arrowroot, &c. The
) patient must keep in a warm room, and
j avoid cold and damp. During conva-
I lescence, tonics should be freely taken.
| Avoid stimulating drinks.
BROOM. Ste Robinson's Herbal.
\ — It is a valuable diuretic, and it may
j be safely administered. The green tops
I are to be infused, an ounce to a pint of
j boiling water, covered and placed near
i a warm fire from six to eight hours.
| Take a teacupful twice a day. A little
! spirits of nitre, and a few juniper
! berries will assist to cause the flow of
i urine.
BRONZING PLASTER OF
PARIS, &c. — First, give to the
figures a coat of oil, or size varnish, and
when nearly dry, apply with a dabber
of cotton or camel-hair pencil, any of
the metallic bronze powders ; or the
powder may be placed in a little bag of
muslin, and dusted over the surface,
and afterwards finished off with a wad
of linen. The surface must be after-
wards varnished.
BROTH, that will Keep. —
Put part of a round of beef, a knuckle
bone veal, and a few shanks of mutton
into a deep pan, and cover close with a
dish or coarse crust ; bake till the beef
is done enough for eating, with only as
much water as will cover. When cold,
cover it close in a cool place. When
used, give what flavour may be ap-
proved.
BROTH, Readily-made.
Take a bone or two of a neck or loin of
mutton, take off the fat and skin, set it
on the fire in a small tin saucepan that
has a cover, with three quarters of a
pint of water, the meat being first
beaten, and cut in thin bits : put a bit
of thyme and parsley, and, if approved,
a slice of onion. Let it boil very quick,
skim it nicely ; take off the cover, if
likely to be too weak ; else cover it.
Half an hour is sufficient for the whole
process.
BROTH, Strengthening. — Boil
two pounds of loin of mutton, with a
very large handful of chervil, in two
quarts of water✪ Strengthening Broth to one. Take off part
of the fat. Any other herbs or roots
may be added. Take half a pint three
or four times a day.
