HOW TO REMOVE SUPERFLUOUS HAIR.—­Sulphuret of Arsenic, one ounce; Quicklime, one ounce; Prepared Lard, one ounce; White Wax, one ounce.  Melt the Wax, add the Lard.  When nearly cold, stir in the other ingredients.  Apply to the superfluous hair, allowing it to remain on from five to ten minutes; use a table-knife to shave off the hair; then wash with soap and warm water.

DYSPEPSIA CURE.—­Powdered Rhubarb, two drachms:  Bicarbonate of Sodium, six drachms; Fluid Extract of Gentian, three drachms; Peppermint Water, seven and a half ounces.  Mix them.  Dose, a teaspoonful half an hour before meals.

FOR NEURALGIA.—­Tincture of Belladonna, one ounce; Tincture of Camphor, one ounce; Tincture of Arnica, one ounce; Tincture of Opium, one ounce.  Mix them.  Apply over the seat of the pain, and give ten to twenty drops in sweetened water every two hours.

FOR COUGHS, COLDS, ETC.—­Syrup of Morphia, three ounces; Syrup of Tar, three and a half ounces; Chloroform, one troy ounce; Glycerine, one troy ounce.  Mix them.  Dose, a teaspoonful three or four times a day.

TO CURE HIVES.—­Compound syrup of Squill, U.S., three ounces; Syrup of Ipecac, U.S., one ounce.  Mix them.  Dose, a teaspoonful.

TO CURE SICK HEADACHE.—­Gather sumach leaves in the summer, and spread them in the sun a few days to dry.  Then powder them fine, and smoke, morning and evening for two weeks, also whenever there are symptoms of approaching headache.  Use a new clay pipe.  If these directions are adhered to, this medicine will surely effect a permanent cure.

WHOOPING COUGH.—­Dissolve a scruple of salt of tartar in a gill of water; add to it ten grains of cochineal; sweeten it with sugar.  Give to an infant a quarter teaspoonful four times a day; two years old, one-half teaspoonful; from four years, a tablespoonful.  Great care is required in the administration of medicines to infants.  We can assure paternal inquirers that the foregoing may be depended upon.

CUT OR BRUISE.—­Apply the moist surface of the inside coating or skin of the shell of a raw egg.  It will adhere of itself, leave no scar, and heal without pain.

DISINFECTANT.—­Chloride of lime should be scattered at least once a week under sinks and wherever sewer gas is likely to penetrate.

COSTIVENESS.—­Common charcoal is highly recommended for costiveness.  It may be taken in tea- or tablespoonful, or even larger doses, according to the exigencies of the case, mixed with molasses, repeating it as often as necessary.  Bathe the bowels with pepper and vinegar.  Or take two ounces of rhubarb, add one ounce of rust of iron, infuse in one quart of wine.  Half a wineglassful every morning.  Or take pulverized blood root, one drachm, pulverized rhubarb, one drachm, castile soap, two scruples.  Mix and roll into thirty-two pills.  Take one, morning and night.  By following these directions it may perhaps save you from a severe attack of the piles, or some other kindred disease.
