DEPENDABLE MOTHER REMEDIES

Dear Cornerites: I am herewith sending a few mother remedies:
 Balm of GiIead SaIve is excellent. Take the buds of the tree and boil them in lard which you know to be pure; add one ounce each of camphor and powdered borax; strain and put into small tin boxes.
 Indian Eminent is prepared as fol- lows: Dissolve one ounce of campEor gum in alcohol; add one ounce each of spirits of turpentine, sweet oil, oil Of hemlock and oil Of cedar. with ten ounces of spirits of hartshorn- Cork securely and shake before using. Keep the bottle out of reach of ch1- dren. In fact, this suggestion may well be made in regard to every rem edy containing ingredients of a strong or pungent nature.
 Wormweod Eminent, consisting ot one ounce of wormwood steeped in a pint of alcohol. is an old and favorite remedy for sprains and bruises.
 Turpentine Eminent is another home made and excellent application for rheumatism, lameness. etc. Mix one half pint of turpentine and cider vine gar with one-fourth pint of ammonia; bottle securely; when ready to apply. pour little of the mixture into yes sel, add the beaten yolk of an egg and mix well.
 May Apple Eminent is made by putting a handful of May apple blos- soms into wide mouthed bottle and half filling the same with boiling Wa ter; let stand until cold and add al- cohol to fill the bottle. This liniment is better than arnica.

 A Bottle of Tineture of Iodine, we
 corked with rubber stopper and la
