Apple Salve
Fry 1 large or 2 small sour apples in 1 cup lard,
leaving peelings on apples. Add a piece of beeswax the
size of a hulled walnut. Let the wax melt and then
strain the mixture and pour the liquid into a receptacle
with a lid. This is especially good for burns and is
healing to all wounds that do not require a treatment to
countract poisons.
Blackheads Tan and Freckles
Slice very thin 6 lemons. Pour into a jar 1 pound Epsom
salts and put the lemon in and mix well. Seal up jar and
let a liquid form. Use this to rub on the face at night
about once a week. In the morning wash off with clear
warm water, and follow with a rub with soap water,
rubbing quite hard. If used once a week, girls need not
be bothered with pimples, blackheads or tan.
Brown Spots on Hands
If there are brown spots on the hands, a saturated
solution of hyposulphite of soda may be used. Use it
freely, it is not always effective.
Freckles
Mild cases may be helped by using borax dissolved in
rose water, applying several times a day. Another method
is to dampen the finger tips, dip in powdered saltpeter
and apply directly to the freckles. Repeat until they
dissappear. Again to cover the face with almond paste
and then pat lemon juice into the skin will remove some
freckles. Keep out of the sun and hot wind and do not go
into the sun when the face, hands and arms are wet.
Warts
Anoit several times a day with spirits of camphor. In a
few weeks the warts will be gone and without any marks
remaining.
Dandruff
A dandruff remedy which has been found most effective
is: Sixty grains of sulphur mixed with one ounce of
vaseline and applied every other night to the scalp,
with massage. Where there is dandruff it is well to wash
the hair twice a week at first, gradually lengthening
the time to every ten days or two weeks.
Frosted Feet
The best thing for frosted feet is to anoit the the
parts with sweet spirits of nitre. A small amount
purchased from the druggist will cure all the frosted
feet one person can have.
