A most va'tiaole experienced remedy fixed contraction of the parts affected from trie pen oi a iatectlebiatcd Knglish surgeon. Many year, ago, while I lived at Yeovil, in Somersetshire, my advice was desired for a poor man's child, a boy about 8 or 9 years of age one whose legs was contracted more than when a person is sifting in a chair He could net tretch it o.r nor move it -, neither could it be extended to any pr rson, without any injury to the prt effected I prrscrib-rd a relaxing Iin'rrent, of whien turner's oil was the chief ingredient, and ordered 'be pnt rs effected to be gently rubbed with it ; bu: it was of no great service. The probable just consequences of this boy's living without the use of that limb, very much moved my pity; & while I W33 considering what further might be done for his relief, it came into my mind that glovers of the town brought lamb and kid skins (which were dry, stiff and hard) to be soft and supple as glove, by ubbwg them with a liquor made of yolk cf .eccs and water. l-frrpirrn T rr.-.scnrd thus with my

And I resolvt d to try i: efficacy in thecasr of this poor boy. . I ordered the contracted p?rt. r,f h.s leg to be gently rublied two or thrre imes a day wi'h the egg liquor, arid by ibis means he easily recovered the perfect ime of his l'?. , This egg liquor I advise to be maoe in the fallowing manner viz: Take the yolk of a new laid egg, let it be beaten with a spoon to the jr-at est thinner,: thn by a spoonful a: a time, edd three ounces of pure water, agitating the mixture cor.ti:iu-ly, 'h n the eg2 and ivter may be well i;ico -porated. ,. , , The liq-jor may b: r-p.;. ti t:ie
