1892 Remedies Now I am not Sure If These
To Cure A Sting Of Bee Or Wasp
Mix common earth with water to about the consistency of mud, apply at once
A Good Cure For Colds
Boil two ounces of flaxseed in one quart of water, strain and add two ounces of rock candy, one half pint of honey, juice of three lemons, mix, and let all boil well, let cool, and bottle. Dose; one cupful on going to bed, one half cupful before meals. The hotter you drink it the better.
To Cure Toothache
The worst toothache, or neuralgia coming from the teeth, may be speedily and delightfully ended by the application of a bit of clean cotton, saturated in a solution of ammonia, to the defective tooth. Sometimes the late suffer is prompted to momentary laughter by the application, but the pain will disappear.
Carving
The seat for the carver should be somewhat elevated above the other chairs; it is extremely ungraceful to carve standing, and it is rarely done by any person accustomed to the business.
