Boracic Is Useful
powder should be kept in the medicine cupboard, for it costs very little and has many uses. To avoid soft corns between the toes apply the powder each morning, using a small sprinkler salt cellar for shaking it on and finally rubbing it in with the fingers. A solution of boracic is the best eye lotion. A “tickling” cough can be relieved by means of boracic powder mixed with honey, taken in very small quantities when the throat is troublesome. Boracic powder, sprinkled into the stockings each morning enables anyone obliged to do much standing to go through the day with considerably less fatigue. Keep a box of the powder in the baby’s nursery basket. It is splendid for remedying trouble with the mouth or gums, and, mixed with starch and zinc powders, makes a good dusting powder for the body.
