SCOURING BALLS. Portable balls for removing spots from clothes, may be
thus prepared. Dry some fuller's-earth, so that it crumbles into a
powder; then moisten it with the clear juice of lemons, and add a small
quantity of pure pearl-ash. Knead the whole carefully together, till it
acquires the consistence of a thick elastic paste: form it into
convenient small balls, and dry them in the sun. To be used, first
moisten the spot on the clothes with water, then rub it with the ball,
and let the spot dry in the sun. After having washed it with pure water,
the spot will entirely disappear.

SCROPHULA. The principal difficulty in curing the scrophula, or king's
evil, arises from the circumstance, that it may remain concealed for a
long time, and thus become deeply rooted in the constitution before its
effects are evident. The system requires to be strengthened by the free
use of Peruvian bark, sea water and sea bathing, and moderate exercise
in the open air. Hemlock plasters applied to the swellings, and drinking
of milk whey, have also been found useful. But in the progress of the
disorder, medical advice will be necessary.

SCURVY. When the scurvy proceeds chiefly from the long-continued use of
salt provisions, it will be necessary to take large portions of the
juice of lemons, oranges, or tamarinds; to eat water cresses, scurvy
grass, and fresh vegetables of every description. But where these cannot
be procured, pickled cabbage, cucumber, onions, and other fruits, as
well as horseradish and mustard, may be taken with considerable
advantage. Take also a pound of water-dock roots, and boil them in six
pints of water, adding an ounce or two of chrystals of tartar, till one
third part of the liquor be evaporated; and drink half a pint or more
of it every day. Raw carrots eaten are also very good for the scurvy;
and during a voyage, they should be packed up in casks of sand and kept
for use. If the limbs be swelled, or joints stiff, it will be proper to
foment them with warm vinegar, or bathe them in lukewarm water. A
valuable ointment may be made of a pound of fresh lard, and as much
cliver or goose-grass as the lard will moisten. Boil them together over
a slow fire, stir the mixture till it turns brown, and strain it through
a cloth. Take the ointment from the water, and rub it on the parts
affected.
