Dion had never happened to tell Daventry about Jimmy Clarke's strained hip and his own application of Elliman's embrocation. He had told Rosamund, of course, and she had said that if Robin ever strained himself she should do exactly the same thing. That night, when the Daventrys had gone, Dion asked Rosamund whether she thought Beattie was happy.
Arrived at the cottage of the rheumatic woman, she stopped and went in, while I waited outside. The affair of the embrocation was soon over. She was out again in a minute and this time, she took my arm of her own accord. "Shall we go a little farther?" she said. "It is so nice and cool at this hour of the evening."
By the advice of he Spanish boatman, we applied an embrocation of the leaves of the palma Christi, or castor oil nut, as hot as the lad could bear it, but we had neither oil nor hot milk to give internally, both of which they informed us often proved specifics.
'But I mustn't stay aht 'ere in the night air. ''As yer rheumatism been troublin' yer litely? asked Mrs. Stanley. 'Oh, cruel. Liza rubs me with embrocation every night, but it torments me cruel. Mrs. Kemp then went into the house, and Liza remained talking to Mrs. Stanley, she, too, had to go in, and Liza was left alone.
When Cotton had satisfied his footer appetite, he turned down his stocking and proceeded vigorously to anoint with embrocation his damaged leg, the pungent scent of the liniment being almost ornamental in its strength. "How did you get that, Jim?" said Gus, surveying the brawny limb with interest. "Acton brought me down like a house, my boy." "Fair?"
The candles, which were burning low, showed that she had been awake for some hours. When she perceived that she had wakened Eleanor, her distress was great, and she begged of her to go back to bed at once. "My dear," she said, as she poured a fresh supply of embrocation into the hollow of her hand and set to work again, "I never disturb any one in the night if I can help it.
We missed Acton and Bourne beautifully; they don't go to Westcote, and Grimmy's idea about poachin' 's rotten. He may be Acton's messenger-boy or the rider of a decent pneumatic, but I'm going to let him go his own way." When, afterwards, they rubbed embrocation into their wearied limbs, the rest agreed with Rogers. "But, yet," said Grim, "I'd like to know about that cartridge too."
He divided all illnesses into three classes those affecting the head, the trunk, and the lower limbs and obtained an enactment that all diseases of the head, whether internal or external, should be treated with laudanum, those of the body with castor-oil, and those of the lower limbs with an embrocation of strong sulphuric acid and water.
I offered the cheerily indignant warrior apologies for my friend's parabolic method of descent, and suggested Elliman's Embrocation. "The most extraordinary part of it," he interrupted, "was that when I picked him up he was weeping like anything. What was he crying about?"
The kind-hearted butler blessed the day when he laid out three and eightpence in a box of the bone-setter's ointment, to such good purpose. The cook said, "Goose-grease and kitchen physic for her!" And of course the doctor very properly, as well as modestly, observed that "he had confidently anticipated permanent beneficial results from a persevering use of the embrocation."
