Lemon or orange peel soaked will make a good soaj)
for the face if used at night, the same might be said of
sliced cucumber. Leave them in the water as long as they
remain sweet they soften the water and give it a pleasant
fragrance.
Sage is good for the teeth and can be used to rub
them instead of a tooth brush, as the teeth should be
washed after every meal, rubbing would be less injurious
than brushing ; a little myrrh in water to rinse the mouth
should be used at least once a day, it will prevent the teeth
from decaying and also sweeten the breath.
Make a mixture of half a pint of vinegar and half a
pint of toilet vinegar. Take a lump of quick lime the
size of a walnut, put it into a pint of boiling water, allow
it to stand all the night, then strain it and add to the
other ; this rubbed well into the head is perfectly harmless
and will remove the dandruff.
A remedy for burns which is said to allay pain im-
mediately, is to put kerosene on the parts, then rub over
with flour.
An ointment made of hogs lard and boracic acid and
a little oxide of zinc, put on the affected parts is very
relieving for sunburn.
To make the hands nice and soft wash them at bed-
time in hot water and oatmeal, then rub them with
glycerine and cucumber jelly.
