Excellent Home Remedies.
By A. M. H.
THE cough-and-cold season is approaching rapidly, and some of the best remedies for these troubles are just simple things that can easily be prepared at home. One of the best remedies for nasal catarrh is made by dissolving a teaspoonful each of boracic acid powder and salt in a half pint of boiling water, and this should be used about three times a day by drawing thru the nostrils and also as a gargle. There is nothing better for weak or inflamed eyes than warm water in which a little borax is dissolved, and for very sore eyes add a few drops of camphor to the borax water and you will find no better healing lotion than this. A soft linen cloth which is employed for no other purpose is better to use when bathing the eyes than a sponge, and it is easier kept clean. A. M. H.
