 +{{anchor:​s2}}As a vehicle for the external applications of Arnica, &​c.</​span>​
 +
 +{{anchor:​s3}}BY E. M. HALE, M. D., JONESVILLE, MICH.
 +
 +{{anchor:​s4}}Nearly a year ago I was accidentally led to the adoption of this valuable agent, as a vehicle for medicines used externally. {{anchor:​s5}}Having a case of vesicular herpes, on the face of a child, characterized by some tingling-itching. {{anchor:​s6}}I was importuned by the parents to give some external, soothing application. {{anchor:​s7}}I put up some Glycerine, and the idea struck me, that <span grade2>​Rhus</​span>​ might be added with benefit; a few drops of the mother tincture were therefore added with it, (1/2 oz). {{anchor:​s8}}It acted like a charm, allaying the irritation, and hastening the cure. {{anchor:​s9}}Since which time I have used a similar preparation in many eruptive diseases.
 +
 +{{anchor:​s10}}In a recent Medical Journal, Glycerine is strongly recommended as a dressing to wounds, ulcers, &c. {{anchor:​s11}}It may be <span grade2>​good.</​span>​ alone, as an external application,​ but when combined with the remedial agents we possess, it becomes invaluable.
 +
 +{{anchor:​s12}}I know of no other Homoeopath who used it, and while I hesitatingly claim the merit of first recommending its use, (with Arnica, &c.) it is with pleasure that I give the profession the results of my experience; and will therefore give my method of preparing the medicated Glycerine.
 +
 +{{anchor:​s13}}To 10 parts <span grade2>​Glycerine,</​span>​ add 1 part of Mother Tincture of Arnica, or any other drug (I prefer Tilden'​s Fluid of Arnica and Aconite, to the common Tincture.) If a large quantity is to be used, the <span grade2>​Glycerine</​span>​ can first be diluted with water, as much as desired.
 +
 +{{anchor:​s14}}While we get the mild, soothing and perhaps healing effects of the Glycerine, we also get the specific, remedial effect of the medicine we combine with it.
 +
 +{{anchor:​s15}}The following are the principal preparations I have used, and can recommend:
 +
 +<span grade2>​{{anchor:​s16}}Glycerine and Arnica,</​span>​ for Contusions; contused and punctured wounds; boils; some kinds of ulcerations;​ excoriations.
 +
 +<span grade2>​{{anchor:​s17}}Glycerine and Calendula,</​span>​ for cut and lacerated wounds; all unhealthy ulcerations;​ ulceration of os uteri; sore nipples.
 +
 +<span grade2>​{{anchor:​s18}}Glycerine and Rhus tox,</​span>​ for vesicular and herpetic eruptions, with intolerable itching, strains of joints and tendons.
 +
 +<span grade2>​{{anchor:​s19}}Glycerine and Aconite,</​span>​ Neuralgia; prosopalgia;​ odontalgia; spinal tenderness; highly inflamed wounds and swellings.
 +
 +<span grade2>​{{anchor:​s20}}Glycerine and Hamamelis,</​span>​ contusions; extravasations;​ painful tumors; wounds with excess in hemorrhage; bleeding piles; varicose veins and ulcers.
 +
 +<span grade2>​{{anchor:​s21}}Glycerine and Urtica urens,</​span>​ Nettle rash; excess in itching of the arms from ascarides or piles; prurigo.
 +
 +<span grade2>​{{anchor:​s22}}Glycerine and Kali hyd.,</​span>​ Tumors; Hydrops articuli, (of which I have cured many cases by giving it internally and using it externally; Hyd of Potash is best given in Glycerine)
 +
 +{{anchor:​s23}}I have used some others, but suffice it to say that in all conditions of <span grade2>​irritation,</​span>​ I consider it the best and most proper vehicle for applying remedies externally. {{anchor:​s24}}I hope to see it generally used by the profession and prepared by all our pharmacies.
