OLD RELIABLE srANDRYs.

Dear Social Corner Friends: It has been quite a while since I contributed to The Corner Am sorry am so far away it is impossible for me to at tend any of your picnics and other Social gatherings.
 What has become of Nan and Dreamer2 Hope they will come again soon, as I miss their cheerful letters.
 Am sending some century old reme- dies, which are still reliable stand bys, and often save calling a doctor needlessly.
 Asthma: When a person has an at. tack of this complaint his feet should
 be immersed in warm I've water or strong soap suds. Some herb tea made of catnip or pennyroyal, may be given
 at the same time which will excite gentle precipitation and will generally
 afford relief
 Another remedy is to prepare blot
 ting paper by soaking it with saltpetre
 and burning it in the room with the
 patient. allowing them to inhale the fumes.
 Bleeding at the Nose: Soak the feet and hands in warm water and apply a cloth wrung out in cold water on the back Of the neck and on the cords be- hind the ears. Gum arabic powdered fine and snuffed from your fingers or blown into the nose through quEl, is good.
 In Case Clothes Taking Fire one should never open the door and rush out into the street, but to lie down immediately and if they can to roll ! themselves in a rug, carpet, coat, cloak or any other WOOlen article which may be near. If any other persons are present they should assist in doing the same as the readieSt way of putting out the flame. The reason Is plain. | By running about through the air, you l fan the flame and make it blaze more 1 f1ercely: whereas the object should | be to smother it. Do not drag the l sufferer to pump or tear the burnt clothes roughly, but having extin- l guished the flames, remove the cloth l ing as gently as possible and then 1 sprinkle four over the burnt parts of 1 the body, the great object being to l keep the air from it as much as pos sible. Medical direction should, of 1 course, be procured as quick as possi- 1 ble.
 To escape from, or go into a house i on fire creep or crawl with your face 1 near the floor. and although the room l be full of smoke to suffocation, yet 1 near the floor the air is pure and may | be breathed with safety.
 Cancer: Mix the yolk of an egg with ] fine salt. make it into a sa1Ve, spread it on 9 piece of soft leather, and ap-
 ply it. Change it every day and a 1 cure will soon be effected.
 Indian Remedy for Cancer. Take | the roots of pitch pine saplings, choI
 them up fine and boil a three quart pot i ful until all the strength is exhausted l say twenty or thirty minutes, sther

 rant jelly is an excellent remedy.
