Splinter, to Extract
Categories:
Unclassified Remedies
"When a splinter has been driven deep into the
hand, it can be extracted without pain by steam. Nearly fill a
wide-mouthed bottle with hot water, place mouth of the bottle over
splinter and press tightly. The suction will draw the flesh down, and in a
minute or two the steam will extricate the splinter and the inflammation
will disappear."
