Porter Plaster for Bruises

This simple, singular, and safe remedy for bruises is nothing more than a gallon of porter simmered in an earthen vessel, till, when cool, it will be of the consistence of a plaster. This preparation was spread on an old glove, and applied round the ancle of a coachman, who was thrown off his box, and miserably bruised. In three days it so effectually performed a cure, that coachee was enabled to remount his box, perfectly relieved from all swelling and pain.
