[AN
ACT
IS
BETTER
THAN
A
WORD.]
2411.
Camphor
Balls
to
prevent
Chaps.
Melt
three
drachms
of
spermaceti,
four
drachms
of
white
wax,
with
one
ounce
of
almond
oil,
and
stir
in
three
drachms
of
camphor
(previously
powdered
by
moistening
it
with
a
little
spirits
of
wine);
pour
small
quantities
into
small
gallipots,
so
as
to
turn
out
in
the
form
of
cakes.
2412.
Cramp
in
Bathing.
For
the
cure
of
the
cramp
when
swimming,
Dr.
Franklin
recommends
a
vigorous
and
violent
shock
of
the
part
affected,
by
suddenly
and
forcibly
stretching
out
the
leg,
which
should
be
darted
out
of
the
water
into
the
air
if
possible.
2413.
Cramp
in
the
Legs.
Stretch
out
the
heel
of
the
leg
as
far
as
possible,
at
the
same
time
drawing
up
the
toes
as
far
as
possible.
This
will
often
stop
a
fit
of
the
cramp
after
it
has
commenced.
2414.
Hiccough
or
Hiccup.
This
is
a
spasm
of
the
diaphragm,
caused
by
flatulency,
indigestion,
or
acidity.
It
may
be
relieved
by
the
sudden
application
of
cold,
also
by
two
or
three
mouthfuls
of
cold
water,
by
eating
a
small
piece
of
ice,
taking
a
pinch
of
snuff,
or
anything
that
excites
counteraction.
2415.
Scratches.
Trifling
as
scratches
often
seem,
they
ought
never
to
be
neglected,
but
should
be
covered
and
protected,
and
kept
clean
and
dry,
until
they
have
completely
healed.
If
there
is
the
least
appearance
of
inflammation,
no
time
should
be
lost
in
applying
a
large
bread-and-water
or
linseed-meal
poultice,
or
hot
flannels
may
be
repeatedly
applied.
Leeches
should
be
applied
only
when
ordered
by
a
medical
man,
as
in
some
cases
erysipelas
may
be
the
consequence.
