Medical Hints.


To MAKE THE HANDS Sort. Take
equal portions Of glycerine and alcohol;
mix well; before retiring at night wash
the hands in warm water and rub well
with the lotion.


FROSTED FEET. For frosted feet take
pure faxseed oil, bathe your feet well
before going to bed; wrap some old
cloths around the feet to keep the oil
from rubbing off, and bathe again in tue
morning. A few applications will re-
move all soreness and itching.


TEST FOR PURE WATER. a per-
fectly clean quart bottle two-thirds full
with the water; dissolve in this tea
spoonful of the clearest white sugar,
cork the bottle and set it away in warm
place. II it remains clear and bright
you need fear no evil; but if it turns
milky white and gives oft any offensive
gases, beware how you drink the dirty
stuff.


RELIEF FOR cara Persons will
find relief for ear-ache by putting iu a
spoon two or three drops of sweet oil, or
better still, almond oil, the same of
molasses and laudanum, warming it al
together. Absorb some of the mixture
in cotton wool, put it in the ear with a
piece of wool inside to keep out the cold
air; repeating the thing if necessary. A
roast onion-heart dipped in this and sur
rounded with the cotton is also often
very efficacions.


To PREVENT THE HAIR FROM FALLING
Pour wine. glassful of dry table salt
upon sheet of paper. While the hair
is dry dip a metallic hair brush OF stiff
bristle hair brush into the salt, rubbing
it into the roots OF the hair. Apply
every day until the hair ceases to fall;
then discontinue. Alum water will
check the fall of hair that has become
saturated and drowned with the use OF
oils, acting as an astringent. A strong
decoction of the herb "bone-set " is a
good tonic for the hair.
