piece of borax the size of a pea in the mouth and don't talk. It will work

like a charm." The borax does away with the inflammation of the inflamed

parts and gives relief very quickly.

lemon, with sugar enough to thicken, then add one teaspoonful olive oil."

has been tried and proved successful."

scraped horseradish root, infuse in a close vessel in one-half pint of

cold water for two or three hours; then add four ounces of acid tincture

of lobelia and one-half pound of honey. Boil altogether for one-half hour,

strain and take a teaspoonful four times a day. This is a very good

remedy, especially for adults."

and saturate with sugar, take a teaspoonful several times a day. It is
