Cure for Felon.-Some recommend salt
pork and spirits of turpentine; but were we
to use the pork we should mix some turpen-
tine with little water, and when just thick
enough spread the pork thickly with that,
and bind it around the finger, renewing the
application as often as necessary.
To Destroy Apts.-Each summer brings
us fresh calls for some method of destroying
these pests. Here is a remedy that has at
least the merits of simplicity and probable
success. A housekeeper writes: Houses
that are infested with ants, black or red,
may be disinfected by a little attention to
trapping them. A sponge is one of the best
things for the purpose. Sprinkle it with
dry, white sugar; the sponge being slightly
moist 1t will adher. The ants will go into
the cells of the sponge after the sugar in
large numbers, and can be destroyed in hot
water, and the sponge squeezed out and
sugared again. and returned to the closet
for another haul, until all are caught.
To Remove Dandruff.-This is a natural
secretion, but becomes a cutaneous COM
plant by neglect. Take an ounce of pow
dered borax, piece of unslaked lime the
size of a chestnut, and tablespoonful of
spirits of ammonia; put them in quart
bottle, and fill 1t up with boiled or pump
water. After II hours, apply this wash to
the scalp. Ladies can apply it best with
fine sponge. Rinse with tepid water. After
few applications the scales will disappear,
the hair becomes soft and brilliant, and the
young hair will be seen to start out.
Dandruff should be cured gradually, so as
not to produce sick headache or dizziness by
its sudden suppression.-Health and Home.
