For Bee and Wasp Stings
A little ammonia put upon bee and wasp stings, bites of spiders and all other poisonous insect bites, will neutralize the poison, preventing soreness and swelling. But mind, it only needs a very little put on, and wash off soon, to prevent its making a sore.
Borax, for Roaches, Washing, and as a Dentifrice and Catarrh Snuff!—Although I have given an item on its uses, yet as I have another short item upon it, I will give it, to corroborate the other, and to show in a few words, what some people know of its value. This writer says: One-half pound of it powdered, and sprinkled around their haunts, will drive the roaches out of any house. A large handful of the powder to 10 gallons of water will effect a saving of 50 per cent, (one-half) in soap. It is an excellent dentifrice, and the best material for cleaning the scalp. (See the author's
Remarks upon it, following the other recipe. ) A recent medical writer also claims powdered borax to be valuable as a catarrh snuff.
