I began bawling as soon as the captain commenced putting arnica on my back partly because it smarted so, and partly because he was so very gentle about it; although all the time he was swearing at John Rucker and wishing he had skinned him alive, as he pretty nearly did.
His manner indicated that he wished to produce the impression that he had been sitting there, in this somewhat unusual place and occupation, for a considerable time, but without overhearing anything that went on in the library so close by. "Sam," she cried, "what have you DONE?" "Well I guess my legs are all right," he said gently. "I got the arnica on, so probably they won't hurt any m "
Longworth still at work, and strayed out into the field in the sun. There had been no rain for days, and the locusts filled the air with their zeeing. The wide field was dotted with golden patches of the arnica blossom, or yellow daisy, as the farmers called it.
The next instant there was a click and then the secret door swung open, revealing the eager, concerned face of my neighbour. "What has happened?" she cried. I lifted her out of the frame. Her gaze fell upon the bandaged fist. "Mr. Bangs spoke of a pistol. Don't tell me that he he shot you!" I held up my swollen hand rather proudly. It smelled vilely of arnica.
Fowls and animals are slaughtered for the occasion; their heads are cut off and their blood is sprinkled upon the earth. After feasting and drinking, a dance follows, the dancers wearing crowns and necklaces of yellow arnica flowers, and carry in their hands wands made of pine-splints wrapped with corn-husks, and with a flower of arnica tied to each end.
Silence a moment while Aunt Saxon pondered tearfully and sighfully, then: "Willie, is it the tooth ache?" "NoooOH!" roared Billy. A pause, then: "Billy, you've had a fall off that wheel and hurt yer head or cut yer knee, I know, I've always thought you'd do that, that old wheel! You oughtta have a new one. But I'll bring the arnica and bathe it. And we'll paint it with iodine where was it Willie?
"The last time you threw stones you were lame for a week, and I had to rub you with arnica." "But think of the fun I had," he said, and then he went back and told Marshall and Chilvers some yarn which must have been very amusing from the way they laughed. I had been praising the beauties of the country around Woodmere, and asked Mrs.
And Maurice had really drained to the dregs the bottle of old hair tonics, dead catsups, syrups of undesirable preserves, condemned extracts of vanilla and lemon, decayed chocolate, ex-essence of beef, mixed dental preparations, aromatic spirits of ammonia, spirits of nitre, alcohol, arnica, quinine, ipecac, sal volatile, nux vomica and licorice water with traces of arsenic, belladonna and strychnine.
Later, arnica was also required. The following day, on returning from a small errand in the neighbourhood, as I entered the rue or street on which our hostel fronted I was startled out of all composure to behold Miss Flora Canbee, of Louisville, Kentucky, and Miss Hilda Slicker, of Seattle, Washington, in animated conversation with two young men, one of whom was tall and dark and the other slight and fair, but both apparelled in the habiliments peculiar to officers in the French Army.
Some men grab at it so much like they was going to set a dislocation of the shoulder that you can smell the arnica and hear 'em tearing off bandages. Some take it up like a hot horseshoe, and hold it off at arm's length like a druggist pouring tincture of asafoetida in a bottle.
