James Roger must have had trouble remembering Finnish names. My father had trouble remembering Polish names. There was a fly fisherman who fished Waterloom Pond when I was a boy. I only know him as the Polish guy because that's what my father called him.
Would a mustard plaster placed upon the belly of someone suffering from gastritis do any good?
The answer is no. Strangely, there a little placebo effect, which gives the patient hope and makes the doctor feel like he has done something.
How to make a mustard plaster
To make a mustard plaster, you’ll need the following ingredients:
dry mustard powder
flour
water
2 squares of fabric about 6 x 6 inches each
Here’s how to make it:
In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon each mustard powder and flour. Mix well.
Add enough water until the mixture forms a thick paste.
Spread the paste onto one fabric square. Put the second square on top.
Place the plaster on your chest or the affected area. Avoid areas with open cuts, wounds, or sores.
Remove the plaster after 15 minutes.
Wash your hands with soap and water before touching your face or eyes.
It’s critical to remove the mustard plaster after 15 minutes. If you leave it on for too long, the ingredients can irritate your skin.
