Ingredients
- two poul- tices in a saucepan
- vinegar
Directions
1
Place a sufficient quantity of fresh hops to make two poul- tices in a saucepan, and add enough vinegar and water, in equal parts, to keep it from burning, so that when sufficiently hot for use the hops will only be moist. When ready to be put in the bag sprinkle in a little meal. Have the poultice a little warmer than the body, put it in the flannel bag, and as soon as cool replace it with another. A piece of flannel should be laid over the poultice to prevent the clothes from getting soiled.
