Directions are given according to the Chinese inethod of using the medicines.
The nature of the oil is very mild, but its action is exceedingly good, powersing wor | derfully curative effects in both internal and external diseases. As it is an invaluable mec- cine it should be kept on hand ready for use by all persons, whether at home or abroad.

It must be rubbed on for 5 minutea. For toothache put a little in the tooth on cotton and rub on the gums.
