HINTS AND SUGGESTIONS

Locally as an application in moist eczema and for drying up secretions from the mucus surfaces; one to two drams of liquor plumbi subacetatas to an ounce of water is recommended; also in pruritus pudendi, equal parts of liquor plumbi and glycerine. In the treatment of weak ankles and tendons in walking specially in the rachitic children, mother tincture of this drug 10 drops mixed with olive oil is of great benefit.

HINTS & SUGGESTIONS

In the intervals between the attacks of pain, if the bowels feel not to the touch, a small handkerchief may be so folded as to cover the whole surface of the abdomen and then wrung out quite tight in cold water and laid across the bowels and a thick dry cloth placed over (rather larger then the damp one) and keep in place by a binder round the body.
