Nolan describes the following cure of a
very painful headache in a lady. He
dissolved fifteen or twenty grains of
chloral in a very little water, and with
the tip of a finger rubbed it npon one of
her temples until she could sensibly feel
the burning and the skin was reddened.
The part rubbed was no larger than a
silver dollar. The pain was entirely re
lieved and remained so. The doctor
has also used this method of applying
chloral for headache with success in
many other cases, sometimes rubbing
on both temples. No permanent sign is
left.
To Ci.ea.x Marble. Take- two parts
common soda, one part of pumice stone,
and one part of finely powdered chalk;
sift it through a fine sieve and mix it
with water; then rub it well all over
the marble and the stains will be re
moved; then wash the marble over with
soap and water, and it will lie as clean
as it was at first.
RoASTixd Poultry. One thickness of
writing or nice brown wrapping paier,
tied around the wings and drumsticks
will keep them from being baked to a
crisp and spoiled.
Cream of tartar rubbed upon soiled
white kid glove cleanses them well.
