Simple Home Treatment
for Removal of Warts

Treatment from a physician Is the
surest way of curing warts. for when
more than one appears they are usually
due to a blood condition that should be
cured by internal medicines. External
applications occasionally remove spo-
radio wart, but the trouble with home
treatment is that it is rarely continued
for a sufficient length of time. Not in
frequently special care of it ceases when
the surface is smooth, when, as matter
of fact, the root still remains, and SO
the excrescence soon grows again.
Another objection to an amateur trying
to remove warts is that whatever affects
the growth is Of caustic nature and eats
awav the flesh; and SO If the soft or
quick flesh be touched by any or the ap-
plication a painful sore will result
For any external application to be eff
cacious it must be strong and tnis TACT
must be borne in mind
External treatment recommended by an
old physician is diachylon plaster cut
with a hole lust the size of the wart.
Over the growth the plaster is securely
struck exposing the wart, but protect
ing the adjacent skin. The wart is then
daily touched with drop OF aqua FORTS
until all hardness has disappeared. The
plaster must be renewed from time to
time. for without it the skin is likely to
be made sore. Manganic acid Is another
applicat tons he recommends, prOtectlon or
the skin being given as with aqua Iorus'
Caustic, which in stick is easily APP
piled, has the disadvantage of turning
the skin black, yet the place Is hardly
as conspicuous as with the previous
treatment OF the two, 1 prefer the first.
To use caustic, the wart is cut until a
drop of blood appears. when the spot Is
rubbed with the acid. This Is repeated
daily.
Cutting them down to the surface has
tens their disappearance, when they are
being treated with acid daily, but when
this is done the knife used must be sharp
and clean. Children must be warned not
to put their fingers in their mouths. when
touched with acid, for the application is

The persistent adherence OF honest dirt
to the hands Of the ubiquitous small boy
does not cause warts. think. which is
not to say that washing the hands should
not be encouraged. The idea that they
are contagious through contact Is also
mistake, but a person Is unlikely to
touch them, SO unpleasant Is the feel

Similarly, men and women working in

having 1t brought to them by another

Hair-Drying Lotions.

Oily though the scalp may be, any
exudation must have a little grease in
its composition If the use is to be con-
tinued for any length of time. Otherwise
the pores are shrunk too rapidly and the
hair is unfavorably affected. Naturally
the more rapidly Oil exudes the less is
required in the strengthening agent, but
when cases are so extreme as to require
drastic treatment the drying lotion should
be used only short time, substituting
one more moderate.
Many times l have said that it is use
lesS to shampoo hair frequently which is
oily, and indeed that washing Oftener
than once a month will only make the
condition worse by over-stimulating the
pores Oiliness is caused by the pores
being already opened too wide. Thorough
brushing with rather soft, long bristle
brush, which will absorb the oil it
touches the scalp. is one Of the best
treatments that can be given, imprOvin g
the looks of the hair at the time and
strengthening the scalp none the less
surely because the change is slow.
A lotion that may be rubbed into the
scalp every night when the pores are
throwing out oil too rapidly Is made from
one dram of bOracic acid and two and
one-half ounces of lavender water. This
may be rubbed into the scalp with little
sponge. and is cleansing, as well as neu-
tralizing the oil. After three weeks 1t
should be used only every other night
disseminating as the hair resumes it's nor
mai condition.
Another is made from half a pint of
New England rum, one and one-half gills
of bay rum, one ounce of glycerin and a
quarter of an ounce each Of carbonate of
potash. borax and carbonate of ammonia.
The boraX, ammonia and potash are min
gied with the New England rum, the gly
cerin, being added to the bay rum, when
the two mixtures are mingled. This is
extremely drying, more so than the first
lotion, and SO should be used with great
discretion.
When the hair becomes less greasy to
the touch, tonic suited to daily use on
the scalp is mace from One-half ounce of
alcoholic tincture of cantharioes. three
quarters of an ounce each of glycerin,
spirits of rosemary and aromatic vinegar,
and one and One-half ounces of orange
flower water. This is we'll mixed and
rubbed into the scalp by making frequent
divisions over the head.
When shampOOing the head. the second
lotion given may be used, instead of
soap, rinsing in clear water.
