Columbines, potentillas yellow, bronze, and crimson primulas, anemones, gentian, arnica, and quantities of unknown blossoms gave us ample excuse for lingering panting in the rarefied air, as we struggled through brushwood first, and then over loose rocks and finally slopes of shelving snow, before we found ourselves on the crest of the mountain, shivering slightly in the raw, foggy air.
A thermos bottle filled with coffee went into Ruth's bag, while Curly was laden with a substantial lunch, a roll of bandages, a bottle of arnica and some smelling-salts, beside the lantern. "Huh!" protested the boy to Ann, "if she was sending us out to find a lost boy all she'd send would be that cat-o'-nine-tails of hers that hangs in the woodshed. I know Gran!"
"Don't cross a bridge until it trips you up," said Sam. "Now, let's have a look at that ankle." They found it was not as bad as Jack had feared. "I've got a bottle of arnica somewhere," he said. "I think I'll put some on." His chums found the bottle, and were rubbing the swelling with the medicine when there came a knock at the door. "Who's there?" asked Jack. "Professor Grimm," was the reply.
"Some of the stuff my father uses for bruises. I bought some leastwise I got Lom to buy some for me at the chemist's when he went into the town." "What is it?" I said carelessly, for I did not feel eager to know. "Arnica. It's in a bottle, and you soak rags in it, and "
Give one pint of linseed-oil and ten drops of castor-oil, mixed together; follow this with small doses of salts once a day, for three or four days; give injections of water, one half a gallon to two ounces of tincture of arnica. Mustard applications to the loins are also very useful. Diseases of the liver are of very common occurrence, a fact with which all beef-butchers are familiar.
"I will ask Professor Grimm to smell of that," Jack continued, thrusting the rag under the teacher's nose. "Arnica!" exclaimed the instructor. "The same that you used, and which enabled me to discover it was you who played the trick." "It is arnica," Jack admitted, "but it happens I was not the only one who used it that night.
While the wife of the gate-keeper kept a bottle of salts at the nostrils of the injured girl, Henri soaked a handkerchief in tincture of arnica and sponged her temples with it; then, pouring some drops of the liquid into a glass of water, he tried in vain to make her swallow a mouthful. Her teeth, clenched by the contraction of muscles, refused to allow it to pass into her throat.
Lindsay briefly explained what had occurred, and superintended the anointing and binding up of the bruised ankle, now much swollen. As Hannah knelt, holding the foot in her broad palm, to enable Mrs. Lindsay to wrap it in a linen cloth saturated with arnica, the former bent her grey head and tenderly kissed the wounded member.
"At the door of the supper-room, I suppose?" "Yes, he was looking at the salad when I came away." "That reminds me; why did you leave so early, Hugh?" "I believe, after all, I am a little tired; I strained my wrist slightly in the brook." "Let me get some arnica for you; do, Hugh." "Oh, no! the strain is very slight. It will be all over in a day or two." "Was there really any danger, Hugh?"
When he recovered consciousness he was lying on a lounge, the doctor's assistant standing beside him. "I must go to her," he exclaimed and sat up. He saw the doctor a few feet away, holding a cloth odorous of arnica to his cheek. Howard remembered and began, "I beg your pardon," The doctor interrupted with: "Not at all. I've had many queer experiences but never one like that."
