cleansing the, hands With soap, rub them
well with oatmeal whilst. still wet.
Honey is also very good. used in the
same way as lemon-juice, well rubbed
in at night. -.
BLEEDING FROM THE Nosr.-Placing
a small roll Of paper or muslin under
the upper lip, and pressing hard on the
same, will arrest bleeding from the nose,
checking the passage through the arte-
ries leading to the pose. So =

| A Cure FOR PIMpLEs.-Wash the
face in a dilution of carbolic acid, al
lowing one teaspoonful to 4 pint of wa
ter. This is an excellent and purifying
lotion, and may be used on the most
delicate skins. Be careful about letting
this wash get into the eyes.
CLEANSING THE TEErH.-The dark
colored substance which collects on neg
lected teeth cannot be removed with a
brush and water, PulveriEed charcoal
will take it off. but this scratches the
enamel and leads to decay Of the tooth.
A better substance is pumice stone in
powder. Dip pine stick into it. and
scour the teeth. After this treatment
the daily use of the toothbrush and te-
pid water will be sufficient. ~
To RELIEVE EAR AcHr.-As soon
as any soreness is felt in the ear-which
feeling always precedes the regular
ache--let three or four drops OF tincture
Of arnIca be poured in, and then the
orifice filed with little cotton to ex-
clude the air. and in short time the
uneasiness is forgotten. II the arnica
is not resorted to until there is actual
pain, the cure may not be SO speedy,
but it is just as certain. If one appli-
cation of the arnica does not effect a
cure. it will be- necessary to repeat It,
it may be, several times. ~ -
