Salve for Burns, Frost-Bites, Cracked Nipples &c.

June 29th, 2008

Equal parts of turpentine, sweet oil and beeswax; melt the oil and wax together, and when a little cool, add the turpentine, and stir until cold, which keeps them evenly mixed.

Apply by spreading upon thin cloth — linen is the best.
