It is also more | cooling than the “sweet- oil or cotton M which was formerly supposed to he the surest application to allay the smarting pain. It is the contact with the air which gives the extreme discomfort ex perienced from ordinary accidents of this kind ; and anything which excludes air aud prevents inilammation is the thing at once to be applied. The egg is eom.idored to he one of the best remedies for dysentery. Beaten up slightly, with or without sugar, and swallowed at a gulp, it tends, hy its emollieyt qualities, to lessen the inilum- mation of the stomach and intestines, 1 and by forming a transient coating on ; those organs to enable nature tu assume ; u healthful sway over the diseased body. Two, or at most three, eggs per day would be required in ordinary cases, and, since the egg is not merely medicine, but food as well, the lighter the diet otherwise, and the quieter the patient it? kept, the more eortaiu and rapid is the recovery.
