LINIMENT OF LIME WATER.

Take of lime water, and olive oil, each three ounces.

Mix them by shaking in a phial.

This solution is thick, of a white colour, and devoid of

acrimony. It is very advantageously applied to burns and

scalds. The soapy matter separates from the water when it has

been made some time, and therefore it is always better to

prepare it only when it is wanted.
