Poultices 135
The common practice of making poultice of
mixing the linseed meal with hot water,
and applying directly to the skin, is quite
wrong, because, if we do not wish to
burn the patient, we must wait until a
great portion of the heat has been lost.
The proper method, is to take a flannel
bag (the size of the poultice required) to fill
this with linseed poultice as hot as it
can be made, and to put between this and
Poultice the SKin, a second piece of flannel,
so that there shall be at least 2 good
thicknesses of flannel, between the
skin and the poultice itselve. Above
the poultice should be place more
flannel, or a piece of cotton wool,
to prevent it from getting cold.
By this method, we are able to apply
the linseed meal boiling hot, without
burning the patient, and the heat,
gradually deppressing through the
flannel, affords a grateful sense
of relief. Dec 14 1878

Holes in Plate Glass
Make a circle of clay or cement rater
larger than the intended hole; pour
some Kerosine into the hole thus made
ignite it, plate the plate upon a
moderate hard support, and with a
round stick rather smaller than the
hole required, and a hammer, strike a
rather smart blow. Cold water is
said to be even better than a blow.
This will leave a rough edged hole
which can be smoothed with a file
