And some pearls of wisdom from the book:
Beauty Hints for Madam
-Removal of freckles, try bicarbonate of soda or powdered nitre moistened
with water. Apply twice daily.
-Removal of warts, apply castor oil or lemon juice to parts three times
daily for five or six days, or until warts disappear.
-As a substitute for deoderant, use dry baking soda.
-Place curlers in an oven and warm before rolling up your hair. It will dry
much quicker.
Household Remedies
-Bladder Trouble: One teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water three
times a day and at bedtime.
-Painful Menstruation: pain may usually be relived by warmth, hot drinks and
application of heat to feet and back, a hot foot bath with mustard is good.
-For Boils: Eat plenty of raisins, the large ones are better.
-Varicose Veins: Bathe the affected parts with alum water, lead water or tea
made from white oak bark, and stay off your feet as much as possible.
-Headache: An ordinary headache is often relieved by taking 1/2 teaspoon
soda in 1/2 glass water, or place a pinch of salt on the tongue and let
dissolve slowly, in 10 minutes follow with a glass of water. Hot foot bath
with mustard, cold application on back of neck, or an ice pack on forehead.
-For the teeth: Salt, baking soda or pure soap are often effective
substitutes when the tooth past supply runs low. Lemon juice in water will
remove tartar from teeth and sweeten breath.
-Cramps in the feet: Rub a little turpentine in the hollow of the feet twice
a week before retiring.
-Ringworm: apply ordinary wash bluing several times a day for several days.
Or moisten ringworm and then apply cigar ashes. This has cured when all
other remedies fail.
