Many years ago, while I lived at Yeoyil /,
Somersetshire, my advice was desired for nm,
mans child, a boy or 9 years of age, one o
Whose legs was contracted more than when
person is sitting in chair He could not stretch
it out or move it; neither could it be extend
ed by any person without an injury to the Dan
affected.


prescribeda relaxing liniment of which cu
ricr's oil was the chefngredient, and ordered IN.
part affected to be gently rubbed with ii butt
was of no great service.


The probable consequence ofthis boy s liyn,
without the use of that limb, very much moyei
my pity, and while Twas considering What furtbe
might be done for his relief it came into m
mind that the glovers of the town brought lauS
and kid skins (Which were dry, stiff and hard
to be soft and supple as gloves by rubbns
them with liquor made ofyolks of eggs and wa
ter.


ordered the contracted part of his leg to i.
gently rubbed two or three times q day withtI,
egg liquor, and by this means, he easily recovered
the perfect use of his leg.


This egg liquor1 advise TO be made in the foI
lowing manner, viz:


Take the yolk Of a new laid egg, let be beat.
en- with spoon to the greatest thinness; the,
by spoonful at time, add three ounces Of mn.
water, agitating the mixture continually, ths
the egg and water may be well incorporated.


The liquor may be applied to the parts con.
tracted, cold, or only milk warm, by gentls
friction for afew minutes, three or four times
day.


This remedy have since advised in like case;
and with the like happy success; and Others to
whom have communicated it, have found the
same advantage from it in like cases.
