HINTS FOR MOTHERS.

Never prick a blister with pin:
A needle is the only suitable RENE
dy.
A good gargle for sore throat is
made of vinegar and a little red pep
per mixed with water.
Coffee or tea should never be given
to children at night. They disturb the
nerve system and make children cross
and peevish.
Coarse brown paper soaked in vim
egar and placed on the forehead is
good for sick headache. IF the eve
lids are gently bathed in cool water
the pain in the head is greatly al
layed.
On rising in the morning, always
put on the shoes and the stockings
the first thing. Never walk about ia
the bare feet or stand on oil-cloth
Even in the Summer time, this is a
dangerous and an unhealthy prac-
tice.
In cases Of poisoning, one of the
best emetics is salt and water, the
quantity being two tablespoonful
of the salt to about pint of tepid
water. 1t acts promptly, and has the
advantage of always being near at
hand.
When putting glycerine on chapped
hands, first wash them thoroughly in
soap and water, and when quite
dry rub in the glycerine. This process
will be found much better than the
old one.
Baking soda is one of the best
known remedies for burns and scalds.
1t should be immediatelyapplied either
wet or dry. 1t almost instantly re
heves the burning sensation and helps
/ to heal.
People subject to cold feet and
hands should get up brisk circula-
ton just before retiring by rubbing
the entire body with a coarse flannel
or Turkish towel. Rub regularly
and briskly until in a good glow.
This is also good for sleeplessness.
