r twelve hours. If passages are green and full of
mucous membrane call a physician immediately as delay may be fatal.
Whites of two eggs mixed with a little water sipped frequently is often
healing also to stomach and bowels.

GOOD WAY TO GIVE CASTOR OIL.--Put a tablespoon of orange juice into a
small tumbler, pour in the required amount of oil, and more orange
juice on top. The oil forms a ball in the middle of the juice and is
swallowed without coming in contact with the tongue. Wine may be used
instead of orange juice.

BURNS.--Grated raw peeled potatoes spread on bandages and bound on a
badly burned arm, shoulder and hand brought immediate relief to one of
my children once when I was on a farm and could not get a doctor. I
kept the bandages moist by binding fresh new, wet ones over the old
ones until pain ceased but did not remove the dressing at all until
wound was healed. It healed perfectly without leaving any scar. Do not
know the merits of this remedy from a physician's standpoint but it was
used successfully in a bad hotel fire in a village where no physicians
resided and the patients all recovered from severe burns and there were
no scars left on their bodies.--Mrs. Whitehead.

LOCK UP POISONS.--All poisons should be labeled and kept in a
compartment by themselves. Such household remedies as laudenum,
chloroform, arsenic, aconite belladona, cough medicine, carbolic acid,
headache pellets or powders, linaments, opiates, fly poison, etc.,
should be kept in a locked box or in a covered can labeled "poison"
placed out of the reach of children. They should always be kept
separate from all other medicine. "An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure." Many deaths are caused by carelessness in placing
poisonous remedies within the reach of children. Unless poison can be
kept in a safe place, it is wiser always to throw it in the fire or to
bury it--and buy a new supply when needed than to run the risk of
poisoning a member of the family. Always look at the label on a bottle
before taking any medicine.

TOOTH ACHE.--Chloroform and clove oil applied with a piece of absorbent
cotton to the cavity of an aching tooth brings immediate relief.

CROUP.--Lard or goose grease and turpentine applied freely to the
throat and chest. Hot steam inhaled from a sponge dipped in boiling
water makes breathing easier. In serious cases an antiseptic should be
given to produce vomiting immediately until the physician arrives. Gi
