Home Remedies
Cure for Toothache.
14 of a pint of best alcohol, y2 ounce of chloroform, y2 ounce of arnica, y^ ounce of oil of cloves. Mix and apply with a piece of absorb- ent cotton; rub also on the gums and upon the face against the tooth. Sure cure.
For a burn apply equal parts of white of egg and olive oil mixed together. Then cover with a piece of old linen. If applied at once no blister will form. Or apply at once cooking soda, then cover with cloth and keep the same wet with cold water. This takes out the pain and prevents blistering.
Tainted Breath.
Dissolve y2 teaspoonful of soda in boiling water and drink it. Orris root is also good, and charcoal tablets sweeten the breath.
To Remove Warts.
Warts may be removed by steeping or soaking a small piece of beef all night in vinegar. Cut what will cover the wart and tie it on. Strips of sticking plaster will fasten it on. Take the meat off in the daytime and put it on at night. In two weeks the wart will die and fall off.
Cough Cure.
Three-eights of an ounce of anise seed, % ounce of stick (or root) licorice, % ounce senna leaves and y2 pint Jamaica rum. Pour 1 pint boiling water on the herbs, let them simmer slowly down to y2 pint. Then strain. When cool add y2 pint of best syrup and y2 pint of rum. Take as often as required.
Cough Syrup.
One ounce each hoarhound and licorice. 2 ounces gum arabic, 1 pint molasses and 1 teacupful of vinegar. Boil the hoarhound in 1 quart of water; dissolve the licorice and gum arabic in a little water first. Strain the hoarhound before adding the other ingredients. Put in vinegar when nearly done.
How to Cure Nose Bleed. Snuffing up powdered alum will generally control bleeding from the nose. The best remedy is in the vigorous motion of the jaws, as if in the act of mastication, pressing the nose firmly between the finger and the thumb for a few minutes. This alone will often stop the bleeding. If it should not, then try what bathing the nose, forehead and nape of the neck with water quite cold will do.

Quinsy, Sore Throat.
Roast 4 large onions. Peel them quickly and slightly pound. Add to them a little sweet oil. Place them while hot in a thin muslin bag that will reach from ear to ear, first thoroughly rubbing the throat, in this way getting a good circulation of blood. Apply as warm as possi- ble to the throat. Change when the strength of the onions is exhausted. Flannel must be worn around the neck after the onion is removed.
To Induce Sleep. Have the body gently rubbed all over with a towel wrung out of hot salt water.
Palpitation of the Heart.
A glass of ordinary soda water has been known to be a good cure for a bad attack of palpitation of the heart.
Cold in the Head. Inhale spirits of camphor when the first symptoms appear. Put 1 or 2 drops of the camphor on a lump of sugar, dissolve in a wine- glassful of water, and take a teaspoonful every 2 hours.
To Kill Corns. Soak bread in vinegar, bind on day and night, and they will come out by the roots.
Cramp in the Leg. A garter applied tightly around the limb affected will, in most cases, speedily remove the complaint. When it is more obstinate a brick should be heated, wrapped in flannel and placed at the foot of the bed. Diligent and long-continued friction is also very good.
Choking. To prevent choking, break an egg into a cup and give it to the person choking to swallow. If one egg does not answer the purpose try another. The white is all that is necessary.
Hiccough Cure for Children. A lump of sugar saturated with vinegar and given to the little one to suck will relieve it instantly.
Felon Cure. Apply a poultice of raw onions 3 times a day, and 4 days will effect a cure.
For Sprains. Mix and shake in a bottle the white of an egg, 1 tablespoonful vinegar, 1 tablespoonful spirits of turpentine.
