Show Remedy for Lockjaw. - A correspondent of the Scientific American says; Let any one who has an attack of lockjaw take a small quantity of turpentine, warm it and pour it on the wound, no matter where the wound is, and relief will follow in less than a minute. Nothing better can be applied to a severe out or bruise than cold turpentine; it will give certain relief almost instantly. Turpentine is also sovereign remedy for croup. Saturate a piece of flannel with it and place the flannel on the throat and chest, and in ever case three or four drops on a lamp of sugar may be taken inwardly. Every family should have a bottle on hand. Fried Oysters. - Dip them in beaten egg, and then in cracker or bread crumbs; fry in equal parts of lard and butter until they are brown. |
