Arthritis! Take 2 tbsp. orange juice thoroughly mixed with 1
tbsp. codliver oil on an empty stomach just before bedtime at
night after several hours have elapsed after the evening meal.
Eat no food or drink, no liquid of any kind, for a number of
hours after taking the oil. This lapse of time allows the
stomach to empty and bile flow to subside. Then when the whole
digestive system is resting, the oiled orange juice will pass
into the bloodstream and is readily absorbed by the bone
structure which comprise the malady. Many folks have tried this
and have had no occurrence of arthritis since the after years of
being partially crippled.

Influenza! Yarrow herb known as milfoil has been used with good
results to stop hemorrhaging of the lungs. If the tea is taken
freely at the beginning of a cold, mixed with elderberry
blossoms and peppermint, and the patient remains in bed, it will
break up a cold and flu within 24 hours. For a bad cold, take a
teaspoonful of Arm & Hammer soda in a glass of cold water. If
taken 15 minutes or so before a meal for 5 meals, it will banish
a cold. If the stomach is empty, the soda passes on through it
into the intestines and kills the acid forming there. The soda
stops acid formation, which during a cold forms in the
intestines, is absorbed into the blood and filters out through
the membranes of the nose, throat, eyes and lungs. Cayenne and
eyebright teas will dry up a cold quickly. Cream of tartar in a
glass of water, one teaspoonful, will quickly banish fevers.

Colds! Refer to formula #47.

Fevers! Refer to formula #47.

Food Drink! Place one heaping tablespoon of malt (not
chocolate) in a cup. Add 1/4 cup of milk. Mix until smooth,
then add 1-1/2 cups of milk, 2 fresh eggs and 3 spoonfuls of
honey. Now place in a quart jar and shake. Drink at once after
mixing as the vitamins will escape within a few minutes after
being mixed. Drink four times a day. This is equal to a full
meal but one will gain or lose weight. Do not add sweetening of
any kind.

or soaking seeds with acid increases the yield of oats, corn,
beets, soybeans and cotton as much as 100%. Costs only $3.00

with one gallon of water; makes the whitest washings, an
excellent cleaner for all surfaces; also car radiators, etc.

Corns! Cut a small piece of lemon rind with a little of the
pulp and bind to corn. Deep-seated corns will no doubt take
longer.

Facial! Scrub face and neck with soap in warm water, dry,
spread milk of magnesia over face and neck. Relax until it
dries thoroughly. Spread another layer of magnesia to dissolve
the first layer, remove with a damp towel. Now heat some olive
oil and apply; let this remain for five minutes; use ice cold
witch hazel, which removes the excess oil, leaving skin fresh.
This magically erases frown lines, re-awakens and preserves face
and neck indefinitely. Use twice a week; after a few treatments
you will be amazed at the transformation.

ounce, mixed with 1/2 ounce of oil of anise. Put on bait.

anise and dab some of it on your cap, face, hands and coat
collars. Do this at intervals throughout the day. Ones who do
this never fail to get their deer every year. The anise kills
the human scent. This is an odor that deers like and will
attract them. When in thick growth simply give a loud shrill
whistle. A good percentage of the time the deer's curiosity
will get the best of his judgement, he stops, and you've got
your deer.
