BORAX FOR INSECT BITES

Dissolve one ounce of borax in one pint of water and anoint the bites of

insects with the solution. This is good for the irritation of mosquito

bites and even for prickly heat and like summer irritations. For the

stings of bees or wasps the solution should be twice as strong.

=Another Simple Remedy.=—For bee or wasp stings bathe the part affected

with a teaspoonful of salt and soda each in a little warm water. Apply

the remedy at once after being stung. If this be used just after one is

stung there will be no swelling. If one is off in the field and is stung

take a common hog weed and rub the part vigorously therewith. It will

stop the pain and prevent swelling.
