FIVE HELPFUL HINTS.
Pure beeswax and clean, unsalted butter make an excellent substitute for creams and balms.
Sage-tea, or oat meal gruel, sweetened with honey, are good for chapped hands or any sort of roughness.
A slice of apple or tomato rubbed over the hands will remove ink or berry stains.
Ingrowing nails, if serious, should receive the doctor’s attention. In the first stage they can be helped by raising the edge and slipping a bit of raw cotton under the nail Sometimes a drop of tallow, scalding hot, will effect a cure
Whenever a nail gets broken into the quick, wear a leather stall over it until nature heals the breach.
