    ..•. No. 24.—Dr. Cooper's Burn and Scald Liniment. Since the days of Hunter, every surgeon of any eminence has used and recommended the articles of which this Lini- ment is composed, as an application for burns and scalds. It was left for Prof. Cooper, however, to give the best pro- portions of each, as contained in this preparation. Every family should keep it constantly in the house, in cases of sudden emergency. Directions.—Apply to the burned or scalded parts with a soft brush or feather, (in order to avoid rubbing off the skin, or irritation,) and, after each application, wrap the parts carefully up in carded cotton. Apply two or three times a day. No. 25.—Dr. Ramsbotham's Mammary Liniment. For sore breasts, and like affections, this combination is recommended by Churchill, Meigs, Ashwell, Bedford, and others of like eminence. It is infinitely the best application that can be made in such cases. Directions.—Bathe the parts carefully three times a day, laying over them a soft piece of flannel, or fine cotton, after each application. No. 26.—Dr. Conquoin's Caustic Paste. This recipe was first presented to the profession by the celebrated Prof. Conquoin, of Paris; and, since then, re- commended by Druitt, Dunglison, and others. As an application to Cancers it stands deservedly ahead of all others. It is also useful as a general caustic in all cases needing such an application. Directions.—Cut a small hole in a piece of adhesive plaster and lay it over the part to which you wish to apply the caustic. Then spread the paste on a piece of thin leather or linen, and apply to the hole left through the ad- hesive plaster. This care is necessary in order to keep it from injuring contiguous parts. Renew the application until the desired effect is produced.
