Dear lady subscriber, if you are a housekeeper, or ever intend to be
one, this chapter will more than repay you for what you have given for
this book. It will tell you how to save a large percentage of your
household expenses, and also how to have a great many of the articles
you use in your daily household work of a superior quality--vastly
better than the ones you are using at the present time.
It is a fact not generally known that a great many of the articles
used in daily household work cost little more than one-tenth of the
price the consumer pays for them. We propose to show the ladies of our
great Continent how to have, in most instances, better articles than
those they are in the habit of purchasing, and at a small percentage
of the cost. To do this, we have, by our own personal investigation,
gathered a number of valuable recipes together, and have paid for the
privilege of using them. Remember, these are not common recipes, but a
full explanation of the manufacture of different articles needed in
every household; and they combine the embodied wisdom of practical and
successful men and women of the past and present.
We give in this chapter a number of recipes which have never before
been published, and which, once possessing, you will never wish to be
without, as they are truly marvelous discoveries. The first three
every mother should have; the remainder no housekeeper should be
without.
No. 1 is
HEALING SALVE.
This salve heals all sores, chaps, cuts, bruises, sore lips, chafed
limbs, roughness, etc. It is invaluable as a healing ointment and may
be applied to the tenderest skin without injury, and yet it will heal
the most painful sores. A three-ounce box will only cost you ten
cents, and the directions are so plain that a child can follow them.
_Recipe:_ Take one ounce of sweet oil, one-half ounce of camphor gum,
and one-half ounce of mutton tallow. Melt all together over a slow
fire, and stir continually until cold.
_To use:_ Rub on part affected at night; wash off in the morning with
warm water and castile soap.
No. 2 is
MAGNETIC CROUP CURE.
This is the best remedy for croup ever discovered. It will save
parents much trouble and anxiety. With this remedy all that is
necessary is (if you have any fear of croup on putting your child to
bed) to take a piece of brown paper large enough to cover the throat
and chest and spread it with the ointment and put across the throat
and lungs; place over that several thicknesses of flannel so as to
keep the stomach warm, and keep in place with a string or bandage. Put
the child to bed, and you need have no fear of croup that night. This
ointment is also excellent for cuts, bruises or sores. Twelve cents
will make enough to last a year, even if you use it frequently.
_Recipe:_ One-half pound of lard, quarter of a pound of raisins,
quarter pound of fine cut chewing tobacco. In the morning place the
tobacco in a tin can and cover it with water; set it on the stove and
let it cook and boil all day, replacing the water when it is
necessary; then squeeze all the juice from the tobacco. The next
morning chop your raisins, put them in the tobacco water and cook well
till noon; then again squeeze the raisins out of this water. Now to
this water add the lard and let them simmer together until the water
is evaporated. Now the croup remedy is ready for use. On putting the
child to bed, if you fear an attack, take a piece of brown paper large
enough to cover the throat and chest and spread it over with the
ointment and put it across the throat and lungs. Place over that and
tie several thicknesses of flannel; put the child to bed, cover up
warmly, and you need have no fear of croup that night.
If taken with croup unexpectedly, on hearing the cough, spread a piece
of brown paper with the ointment and lay it across the throat and
chest; then heat flannel as hot as can be borne and lay over the
paper; change in about ten minutes for another hot cloth. If no fire
is on while waiting for it, heat cloths on a lamp chimney. As soon as
you get the stomach covered and warm, give a teaspoonful of melted
butter; repeat the dose in five minutes.
No. 3 is
WORM ELIXIR.
The best remedy for worms known. No mother should be without it. Also,
if given occasionally it is a splendid preventive. Children will never
be troubled with worms who are given a dose of this once a month, or
fortnight.
_Recipe:_ Take gum myrrh and aloes, of each one ounce; saffron, sage
leaves, and tansy leaves, of each half an ounce; tincture in a pint of
brandy two weeks, and give to children a teaspoonful once a week to
once a month as a preventive. They will never be troubled with worms
as long as you do this.
WORM VERMIFUGE.
Make a strong decoction of sage, two parts; wormseed, one part;
strain, and add sugar enough to make into candy, and let the child eat
of it. Infallible.
No. 4 is
BRILLIANT SELF-SHINING STOVE POLISH.
This is one of the greatest inventions of the age. It has been the
result of a large amount of study on the part of the inventor to
perfect a polish that would work easily and satisfactorily in a
perfectly dry state, thereby obviating the disagreeable task of mixing
and preparing. A good stove polish is an absolute necessity in every
family. To be assured that this is the best you need give it only one
trial. Now, remember, first, that this polish requires no water or
mixing like the various cake and powder polishes; second, that it is
self-shining and no labor is required; and third, that it has no equal
in the world.
Below are the recipe and directions for preparing this polish. You can
prepare enough in ten minutes to last a year. A box holding two ounces
will cost but three cents.
_Recipe:_ Get from the hardware store plumbago (blacklead), pulverize
it finely and it is ready for use.
_Directions for use:_ Use a damp woolen rag, dip in the polish and
apply to the stove; then rub with a dry cloth, and a most beautiful
polish will appear.
No. 5 is
WONDERFUL STARCH ENAMEL.
For polishing shirt bosoms, collars, cuffs, lace curtains, etc.,
putting on the same gloss and hard pearl finish as when bought at the
store new. Every lady should use the wonderful enamel for the
following reasons: It enables an ordinary ironer to compete with any
laundry; it makes the clothes clear and white; it makes clothes iron
smoothly, and prevents the iron sticking; it makes old linen look
like new; and it saves a woman many hours' hard work each week. It is
easily made, and five cents' worth will last an ordinary family six
months.
_Recipe:_ Melt half a pound of refined paraffine wax in a tin pan over
a slow fire. When melted remove from the fire and add twenty drops of
oil of citronella. Take a tin pan and oil with sweet oil, put the pan
on a level table, and pour in enough of the hot wax to make a depth of
an eighth of an inch. When cool, but not cold, cut in pieces about the
size of an ordinary candy lozenge. Lay them aside to cool, but do not
let them touch each other.
_Directions for use:_ To a pint of boiling starch stir in one cake.
Use starch while warm.
No. 6 is
ROYAL WASHING POWDER
--the laundress' assistant; warranted not to injure the finest fabric.
No acid; no potash. In the wash room it saves time, labor, expense,
muscle, temper, and hands. The clothes will come out cleaned and
white, without wear or tear or rubbing on washboards, therefore will
last twice as long. For housecleaning it is unequaled. One girl can
wash more clothes, paint, walls, windows or floors in a day with
perfect ease with this powder than she could in four days with hard
labor, soap, and scrubbing brush, and the paint will look new and
bright. It only requires to be tested to be appreciated. Packages of
one pound will only cost seven cents.
_Recipe:_ Mix any quantity of soda ash with an equal quantity of
carbonate of soda crushed into coarse grains. Have a thin solution of
glue or decoction of linseed oil ready, into which pour the soda until
quite thick. Spread out in a warm apartment to dry. When dry shake up
well and pack away for use. Use as other washing powders.
No. 7 is
MAGIC ANNIHILATOR.
Removes all kinds of grease and oil spots from every kind of
wearing-apparel--such as coats, pants, vests, dress goods, carpets,
etc.--without injury to the finest silks or laces. It will shampoo
like a charm, raising the lather in proportion to the amount of
dandruff and grease in the hair. A cloth wet with it will remove all
grease from door knobs, window sills, etc., handled by kitchen
domestics in their daily round of kitchen work. For cleaning silver,
brass, and copper ware it cannot be beaten. It is certain death to
bedbugs, for they will never stop after they have encountered the
Magic Annihilator. It is useful for many other things. A quart bottle
costs about ten cents.
_Recipe:_ To make half a gallon, take aqua ammonia, one pint; soft
water, one-half gallon; best white soap, one-half pound; saltpetre,
one ounce. Shave the soap fine, add the water, boil until the soap is
dissolved, then add the saltpetre, stirring until dissolved. Now
strain, let the suds settle, skim off the dry suds, add the ammonia,
and bottle and cork at once.
_Directions for use:_ For grease spots, pour upon the article to be
cleaned a sufficient quantity of the Magic Annihilator, rubbing well
with a clean sponge and applying to both sides of the article. Upon
carpets and coarse goods where the grease is hard and dry use a stiff
brush and wash out with clear cold water. For shampooing, take a small
quantity, with an equal quantity of water; apply to the hair with a
stiff brush, brushing into the scalp, and wash out with clear water.
For killing bedbugs, apply to the places they frequent.
No. 8 is
I X L BAKING POWDER.
An unsurpassed article. Can be relied on for strength and purity. So
many of the baking powders sold contain injurious substances and are
altogether unreliable. This powder can be relied on for strength and
purity. It produces the most delightfully white, light and flaky
biscuits. For cakes it is unsurpassed. Try it and be convinced. This
powder is composed of the very best and purest substances, and
therefore is perfectly wholesome. Any lady can prepare enough in a few
minutes to last her six months. It will only cost a trifle--not
one-quarter of what you would have to pay your grocer for the same
amount.
_Recipe:_ Take one pound of _tartaric_ acid (in _crystals_), one and
one-half pounds bicarbonate of soda, and one and one-half pounds of
potato or corn starch. Each must be powdered separately, well dried by
a slow fire, and well mixed through a sieve. Pack hard in a tin, or
paper glazed on the outside. Buy the articles from a druggist.
_Directions for use:_ For biscuits, pie crust, johnnycake, etc., use
three teaspoonfuls to one quart of flour or meal; for cakes, two
teaspoonfuls to a teacup of flour. Mix well with the flour.
No. 9 is
ELECTRIC POWDER.
This is one of the best articles on our list--something that every
housekeeper needs. It is used for gold, silver, plated ware, German
silver, copper, brass, tin, steel, window glass, or any material where
a brilliant luster is required. To make two ounces costs but three
cents, and it is the best article of its kind known.
_Recipe:_ To one pound best quality whiting add one-half pound cream
tartar and three ounces calcined magnesia. Mix thoroughly together and
store away for use.
_Directions for use:_ Use the polish dry, with a piece of canton
flannel moistened with water or alcohol, and finish with the polish
dry.
No. 10 is
FRENCH POLISH OR DRESSING FOR LEATHER.
This is a grand article. All that is necessary is to have your boots
clean and apply this dressing with a sponge. The boots appear like the
very best French leather. Much hard work is saved, as no brushing is
required. To make a quart vessel full will only cost about twenty
cents.
_Recipe:_ Mix half a pint of the best vinegar with a quarter pint of
soft water; stir into it one ounce of glue (broken up), two ounces
log-wood chips, one-sixteenth ounce of finely-powdered indigo,
one-sixteenth ounce of the best soft soap, one-sixteenth ounce of
isinglass. Put the mixture over the fire, let it boil ten minutes or
more; then strain, bottle and cork. When cold it is fit for use. Apply
with a sponge.
No. 11 is
ARTIFICIAL HONEY.
Equal to bee honey, and often mistaken by the best judges to be
genuine. It is palatable and luxurious. All persons are more or less
aware that honey should be used in every household, and it would be so
if every family could have it at a very moderate price. As a
health-establishing nutriment in the chamber of the invalid, and as a
delicious luxury for the well, honey cannot be too highly recommended.
Any one using this honey regularly will find that he is strengthened
and refreshed by it. He will have greater energy and if at all
inclined to dyspepsia will find himself greatly helped. This honey
costs but eight cents per pound to prepare, and our directions are so
simple a child ten years old can follow them.
_Recipe:_ Take two ounces of slippery elm bark and put into three
quarts of warm water and let it stand four hours; strain and add eight
pounds of white sugar; boil four minutes; then add one pound of bee
honey while hot. Flavor with a drop of the oil of peppermint and a
drop of the oil of rose.
* * * * *
Any lady will readily see what a saving the possession of the above
recipes may cause in her household expense. Thus, you can get a ten
cent box of stove polish for three cents, a twenty-five cent package
of washing powder for seven cents, a twenty-five cent box of starch
enamel for five cents, etc. Any of the articles contained in the list
will take but a short time to prepare a large supply.
POISONS AND THEIR ANTIDOTES.
The first thing to do in a case of poisoning is to cause the ejection
of the poison by vomiting. To do this, place mustard mixed with salt
on the tongue and give large quantities of lukewarm water; or, tickle
the throat with a feather. These failing, instantly resort to active
emetics, like tartar emetic, sulphate of copper or sulphate of zinc.
After vomiting has taken place with these, aid it, if possible, by
copious draughts of warm water until the poison is entirely removed.
Of course, if vomiting cannot be induced the stomach pump must be
employed, especially if arsenic or narcotics have been taken. The
following table may be useful for emergencies:--
POISONS. ANTIDOTES.
Acids, Alkalies: Soap and milk, chalk or soda.
Alkalies, Vegetable acids, vinegar, oil in
abundance.
Alcohol, Common salt, moderately.
Arsenic, Send for the doctor and his stomach pump.
Antimony, Oak bark, strong green tea.
Baryta or lime, Epsom salts, oils, magnesia.
Bismuth, White of eggs, sweet milk.
Copper, White of eggs, strong coffee.
Gases, Cold douche, followed by friction.
Iodine, Starch, wheat flour in water.
Creosote, White of eggs, sweet milk.
Lead, Strong lemonade, Epsom salts.
Opium and other narcotics, Emetics, cold douche, and heat.
Phosphorus, Magnesia in copious draughts.
Zinc, White of eggs, sweet milk.
Mad-dog bite, Apply fire in some form to the wound,
thoroughly and immediately.
Bite of insect, Ammonia, applied freely.
Bite of serpent, Same as for mad dog, followed by whisky
to intoxication.
The foregoing are the more common and more important poisons and their
antidotes.--_Buckeye._
TURKISH LOTION.
_The New and Wonderful Discovery for Beautifying the Skin._
Gives to a woman of forty the fresh, bright complexion of a girl. No
more wrinkles, crow's-feet or sallowness.
Turkish Lotion completely cures freckles, pimples, blackheads, moles
and superfluous hair, tan, greasy skin, blotches, redness, sore or
chapped lips, chapped and red, rough hands; and, best of all,
completely eradicates and prevents wrinkles, crow's-feet, and
sallowness.
Turkish Lotion creates a perfect complexion.
After using Turkish Lotion for a short time a lady's skin will be as
exquisitely soft and velvety, as clear and pure, as that of a little
child. It is not an artificial cosmetic, but a cleansing, refining,
whitening tonic. It feeds and nourishes the skin, preventing and
banishing wrinkles, crow's-feet, and sallowness. It is perfectly
harmless and composed of the purest ingredients.
Turkish Lotion is invaluable to every lady. It conceals the evidences
of age. By its use a lady of middle-age will have the charming, fresh
look of a girl. Every womanly woman desires to appear fresh and
youthful as long as possible, thereby making herself the wonder of her
own sex and the admiration of the opposite. By using this lotion
according to directions every lady may have a fresh, rosy tinted
complexion of exquisite pearly fairness, free from wrinkles,
crow's-feet, and sallowness.
One application will make the most stubbornly red and rough hands
beautifully soft and white.
Turkish Lotion is not a paint or powder, but a new and great
discovery--a cleansing, healing, whitening tonic that causes the cheek
to glow with healthy action of the skin, and the neck, arms and hands
to assume an exquisite pearly whiteness. By its use all redness and
roughness is prevented and the skin is beautified and rendered soft,
smooth, and white, thereby imparting a delicate, refined loveliness
impossible to describe. Any lady using Turkish Lotion will present a
fresh, youthful, natural appearance, with a pearly, rose-tinted
complexion that is positively bewitching. It is without doubt the best
face lotion ever discovered, being as it is a medicated lotion
possessing healing qualities. Many ladies are troubled during cold
weather with sore lips, rough, parched skin, and chapped hands upon
the slightest exposure. By moistening at night with this wash the
parts affected, all soreness and roughness will be completely cured
and the face and hands will be as delicately soft and smooth as those
of a little child.
No one need suffer any longer from any defect of the skin.
* * * * *
_Recipe for Turkish Lotion:_ To one fluid ounce of tincture of gum
benzoin add seven fluid ounces of distilled rose-water and one-half
ounce of glycerine.
_Directions for use:_ Bathe face, neck, and hands with Turkish Lotion
at night, letting it dry on. Wash off in the morning with a very
little pure white castile soap and soft water. If the water is hard,
add a very little dissolved borax. This will prevent and cure greasy
skin, freckles, tan, wrinkles, pimples, blackheads, crow's-feet,
blotches, sunburn, chapped hands, sore lips, rough skin, etc.
_To Cure Sallowness:_ Use as above directed, and ask your druggist for
some good iron tablets. Take as directed. In a short time your
complexion will be beautifully white and rose-tinted.
_To Remove Hairy Moles and Superfluous Hair:_ Procure prepared pumice
stone from your druggist; cut the hair as close as possible to the
skin, dip the pumice in cold water and rub on the part on which the
hairs grow, commencing gently at first (as it may cause slight
irritation of the skin), then gradually increase the friction. After
using the pumice stone, anoint freely each time with Turkish Lotion.
Do this twice daily, and it will surely remove superfluous hair.
Always, after using Turkish Lotion, rub gently with the hands until
the skin becomes dry. This will remove and prevent wrinkles and
lines.
