laster, and keeping it on as long as any uneasiness is felt. The
bandaging should be perfect, and it might be well to extend it round the
foot. An inflamed bunion should be poulticed, and larger shoes be worn.
Iodine 12 grains, lard or spermaceti ointment half an ounce, makes a
capital ointment for bunions. It should be rubbed on gently twice or three
times a day.

FELONS.--One table-spoonful of red lead, and one table-spoonful of castile
soap, and mix them with as much weak lye as will make it soft enough to
spread like a salve, and apply it on the first appearance of the felon, and
it will cure in ten or twelve days.

CURE FOR WARTS.--The easiest way to get rid of warts, is to pare off the
thickened skin which covers the prominent wart; cut it off by successive
layers and shave it until you come to the surface of the skin, and till you
draw blood in two or three places. Then rub the part thoroughly over with
lunar caustic, and one effective operation of this kind will generally
destroy the wart; if not, you cut off the black spot which has been
occasioned by the caustic, and apply it again; or you may apply acetic
acid, and thus you will get rid of it. Care must be taken in applying these
acids, not to rub them on the skin around the wart.

WENS.--Take the yoke of some eggs, beat up, and add as much fine salt as
will dissolve, and apply a plaster to the wen every ten hours. It cures
without pain or any other inconvenience.
