Pads
Pads
are
made
by
sewing
tow
inside
pieces
of
linen,
or
folding
linen
and
sewing
the
pieces
together.
They
are
used
to
keep
off
pressure
from
parts
such
as
that
caused
by
splints
in
fractures.

Poultices
Poultices
are
usually
made
of
linseed
meal,
oatmeal,
or
bread,
either
combined
with
water
or
other
fluids;
sometimes
they
are
made
of
carrots,
charcoal,
potatoes,
yeast,
and
linseed
meal,
mustard,
&c.,
but
the
best
and
most
economical
kind
of
poultice
is
a
fabric
made
of
sponge
and
wool
felted
together,
and
backed
by
Indian
rubber,
called
"spongio
piline."
The
method
of
using
this
poultice
is
as
follows:--A
piece
of
the
material
of
the
required
form
and
size
is
cut
off,
and
the
edges
are
pared
or
bevelled
off
with
a
pair
of
scissors,
so
that
the
caoutchouc
may
come
in
contact
with
the
surrounding
skin,
in
order
to
prevent
evaporation
of
the
fluid
used;
for,
as
it
only
forms
the
vehicle,
the
various
poultices
generally
used
can
be
employed
with
much
less
expenditure
of
time
and
money,
and
increased
cleanliness.
For
example,--a
vinegar
poultice
is
made
by
moistening
the
fabric
with
distilled
vinegar;
an
alum
poultice,
by
using
a
strong
solution
of
alum;
a
charcoal
poultice,
by
sprinkling
powdered
charcoal
on
the
moistened
surface
of
the
material;
a
yeast
poultice,
by
using
warmed
yeast,
and
moistening
the
fabric
with
hot
water,
which
is
to
be
well
squeezed
out
previous
to
the
absorption
of
the
yeast;
a
beer
poultice,
by
employing
warm
porter-dregs
or
strong
beer
as
the
fluid;
and
a
carrot
poultice,
by
using
the
expressed
and
evaporated
liquor
of
boiled
carrots.
