One or two tea-spoonfuls, or a table-spoonful, according to the age of the child one tea-spoonful for an infant of six months, and two tea-spoonfuls for a child of twelve months, and one table-spoonful for a child of two years, every four hours, first shaking the bottle. Take of Oil of Cloves, one drachm; Oil of Amber, two drachms; Camphorated Oil, nine drachms: Make a Liniment.
When the evening came, camphorated candles were lighted up in the glass shades; and that friendly young man sat down near me and entertained me with his conversation. When one watch of the night had elapsed, he said to me, "be pleased to sleep in this bed, in front of which are curtains and screens." He replied, "All these things are for pilgrims; they do not in the least belong to me."
Mix together equal parts of castile soap and chalk; wet it with camphor, and bind it on, or dip the finger in honey and camphorated spirits, as hot as you can bear. A little burnt alum put on lint is good; also a bread and milk poultice, with pounded sassafras root stewed in it, and renewed frequently. Honey and camphor mixed is useful for gatherings that have been of long standing.
The reader will meet him again in the year 1771. As I was walking with him, I jumped down from one of the bastions, and feigned to sprain my ankle. Two soldiers carried me to my room, and the surgeon of the fort, thinking that I was suffering from a luxation, ordered me to keep to bed, and wrapped up the ankle in towels saturated with camphorated spirits of wine.
"He worked himself really sick last night just from pure nervousness. I had to put camphorated oil on his throat and chest, and lie beside him until morning. He is sleeping quietly now, but it simply frightens me to death when one of them complains of sore throat." "You've spoiled him, that's what's the matter," replied Oliver, yawning.
I took no laudanum or opium, but at eight o'clock, unable to bear the stomach uneasiness, and achings of my limbs, I took two large tea-spoons full of Ether in a wine-glass of camphorated gum-water, and a third tea-spoon full at ten o'clock, and I received complete relief; my body calmed; my sleep placid; but when I awoke in the morning, my right hand, with three of the fingers was swollen and inflamed.
If there be already lice on the head, in addition to the regular washing every morning with the soap and water, and after the head has been thoroughly dried, let the hair be well and plentifully dressed with camphorated oil the oil being allowed to remain on until the next washing on the following morning.
Dr Budd, of Bristol, recommends, in the British Medical Journal, that the body, including the scalp, of a scarlet fever patient, should, after about the fourth day, be anointed, every night and morning, with camphorated oil; this anointing to be continued until the patient is able to take a warm bath and use disinfectant soap: this application will not only be very agreeable to the patient's feelings, as there is usually great irritation and itching of the skin, but it will, likewise, be an important means of preventing the dead skin, which is highly infectious, and which comes off partly in flakes and partly floats about the air as dust, from infecting other persons.
Of the black luggage-bearers, one was doubled up with atrocious colics from having eaten the diachylon out of the medicine-chest: another fell on the roadside dead drunk with camphorated brandy; the third, carrier of the travelling-album, deceived by the gilding on the clasps into the persuasion that he was flying with the treasures of Mecca, ran off into the Zaccar on his best legs.
I say this continual smoking must have been one cause, at least of his peculiar disposition; for every one knows that this earthly air, whether ashore or afloat, is terribly infected with the nameless miseries of the numberless mortals who have died exhaling it; and as in time of the cholera, some people go about with a camphorated handkerchief to their mouths; so, likewise, against all mortal tribulations, Stubb's tobacco smoke might have operated as a sort of disinfecting agent.
