For neuralgia in the face and other
acute suffering elsewhere the following
remedy has been tried with good effect :
Cut thick slice of bread across ...c
loaf-fresh bread is best. Soak one side
for a minute in boiling water, and
rapidly rap sprinkle cayenne pepper over
bread retains the heat long enough for
the cayenne to begin to act, and
cayenne does not affect delicate skins as
mustard does. 1t acts as a rubefacient,
but not a blister Another excellent
remedy for congestion from cold is to
apply a poultice of faxseed meal and
cayenne pepper. BY keeping a bit OF
oil silk on the outside of the poultice-
