If caustic is at hand, put it upon the raw flesh; if not, the next best thing is to fill the wound with salt renewing it occasionally. Take a dose of sweet oil and spirits of turpentine, to defend the stomach. If the whole limb swell, bathe it in salt and vinegar freely. It is well to physic the system thoroughly, before returning to usual diet. Gruel is very easily made.
"People fight any way they can when their soil is invaded." "What are holes cut in the pine trees for, foot-holds for climbing?" "Holes? them's turpentine boxes!" said the man, in some surprise at Frank's ignorance. "Didn't you ever see turpentine boxes before?" "Never till last evening. Is that the way you get turpentine?" "That's the way we get turpentine.
Hence it is certain that a large portion of the last crop of turpentine must have gone to waste. When it is remembered that the one State of North Carolina exports annually nearly twenty millions in value of this product, and employs fully three-fourths of its negroes in its production, it will be seen how dearly the South is paying for the mad freak of secession.
Then he poured a little of the blood sample from the jar which the coroner had brought into a clean tube and added a few drops of the spirits of turpentine. A cloudy, dark precipitate formed. He smiled quietly, and said, half to himself, "I thought so." "What is it?" asked the coroner eagerly, "nux vomica?" Craig shook his head as he stared at the black precipitate.
It was a common belief among overseers, when they saw an active, healthy young "buck" sleepy and languid about his work, that he had spent the night on one of these excursions. The country we were running through if such straining, toilsome progress as our engine was making could be called running was a rich turpentine district.
They declined to see the case, but got rid of us by giving us a bottle of turpentine, with directions to pour it upon the ulcers to kill the maggots. We did so. It must have been cruel torture, and as absurd remedially as cruel, but our hero set his teeth and endured, without a groan. He was then carried out to the hospital to die. I said the doctors made a pretense of affording medical relief.
For practical purposes it is better to thin the lacquer with turpentine oil or other solvent in order to facilitate the lacquering and lessen the drying time of the lacquer.
If the wound is unhealthy add a little turpentine. Bathe the parts affected with spirits saturated with alum. Take of red precipitate a teaspoonful, form into a ball, repeat if necessary in 30 minutes. Rowel from the top of the shoulder blade down as far as there is no pealing.
When the vermilion is dry, brush the whole over with the black varnish thinned to the right consistency with oil of turpentine. When set and firm put the work into a stove where it may undergo a very strong heat, which must be continued a considerable time, for three weeks or even a month so much the better.
If I had been discovered, if the purpose of my presence had been known I would have been shot like a dog; for life is as cheap in a Southern lumber field as in any part of the world. From the lumber camp I went to one of the big turpentine camps where conditions are as primitive and as inhuman as in the stockades.
