The white of an egg, a tablespoonful of vinegar and a tablespoonful of

spirits of turpentine. Mix in a bottle, shake thoroughly, and bathe

the sprain as soon as possible after the accident. This was published

great value. It should be remembered by everyone.

An invaluable remedy for a sprain or bruise is wormwood boiled in

vinegar and applied hot, with enough cloths wrapped around it to keep

the sprain moist.
