To
dress
a
blister.--Cut
the
bag
of
cuticle
containing
the
scrum
at
the
lowest
part,
by
snipping
it
with
the
scissors,
so
as
to
form
an
opening
like
this--V;
and
then
apply
a
piece
of
calico,
spread
with
spermaceti
or
some
other
dressing.
Such
is
the
ordinary
method;
but
a
much
better
and
more
expeditious
plan,
and
one
that
prevents
all
pain
and
inconvenience
in
the
healing,
is,
after
cutting
the
blister
as
directed
above,
to
immediately
cover
it
with
a
warm
bread
and
water
poultice
for
about
an
hour
and
a
half,
and
on
the
removal
of
the
poultice
to
dust
the
raw
surface
with
violet
powder;
apply
a
handkerchief
to
retain
the
powder,
and
lastly
dust
the
part
every
two
hours.
It
will
be
healed
in
twelve
hours.
Caution.--Never
attempt
to
take
cantharides
internally,
except
under
the
advice
of
a
medical
man,
as
it
is
a
poison,
and
requires
extreme
caution
in
its
use.
