Simple Home Remedies That May Be Means of Preventing Serious
 Attack Of Sickness

There is happy medium between suffering in silence and haunting a doctors office The drug habit ls not admirable. but equally foolish is t to let ills become illness.
 Here gre a few simple home reme- dies. harmless, generally effective and inexpensive
 A bad cold can often be broken f a teaspoonful of powdered ginger in a cup Of hot milk ls taken al the first symptom.
 Another quick cure is half tea spoonful each Of bicarbonate Of soda and aromatic spirits Of ammonia ts- ken in q half eupfUl of bot water as soon as you feel the cold
 A bad headache can often be cured by drinking a half glass Of cold water in which has been squeezed the juice Of half a lemon and a half teaspoonful Of soda
 Bruises and cuts can have no better treatment than to apply turpentine i'm nediateIy t wlli sting. but it will cure Cloths wrung from turpentine and hot water can be frequently ap- piled. For a cold in the chest rubbing with turpentiue and lard is excellent.
 For 2 burn there is nothing better than carrom oil. which is nothing more than equal parts of linseed Oil and lime water.
 To prevent infection in cut perox' ide should be applied at once Equal ly good is pure alcohol-Boston Globe.
