cataplasm

Mustard or aromatic cataplasms may at all times be used with hopes of favorable effects.

There were for external use, amulets, oils, ointments, liniments, plasters, cataplasms, salves, poultices; also sacculi, little bags of flowers, seeds, herbs, etc., and pomanders and posies.

"Don't! try not to cry any more! the thing to do now is to go and give her a spoonful of quinine; then we will put a cataplasm on her stomach."

Cupping-glasses, leeches, cataplasms, blood-lettings—in all which things the populace has so blind a confidence—were held in high honour in our hospital.

True there will be no end of bleedings and cataplasms, but the whole of modern medical science is absolutely thrown away upon them.
