Directions
Geo. H. Geer, Jeweler.
Cure for Earache. — Take a bit of cotton batting, put upon it a pinch of black pepper ; gather it up and tie it ; dip it in sweet oil, and insert it in the ear. Put a flannel bandage over the head to keep it warm. It will give immediate relief.
Another Cure for Earache. — Take an onion and roast it well ; pour on it a little laudanum and sweet oil. Put a few drops of the juice in the ear, and stop it with wool; bind the warm onion to it.
Liniment. — Turpentine, coal oil and wood alcohol, equal parts, and five cents worth of gum camphor cut up in it; fine for rheumatism. — J. P. Snider.
Cerate to Dress Blisters. — Take equal parts of lard and mut- ton suet, and half as much yellow beeswax as there is suet ; mix together ; when the wax is melted take from the fire and stir it till cool. If you do not stir until it is thick as mush the wax will harden first and the salve will be no good. This gives great relief, and is very fine. — Miss Pet McCorry.
Tetter Wash. — Pour tablespoons copperas; burn it twenty- four hours; add one quart water; wash with it three times a day.— Mrs. E. J. Taylor.

Lime Water. — Lime water is easily prepared. Get a good- sized lump of lime and slake it by pouring water over it. Let the water settle, then pour it off and pour more water over the
