Catarrh


Cleansing Antiseptic Remedy for.--"Snuff about one teaspoonful of
salt in cup of warm water every morning in nostrils. I have found this remedy simple but
fine for catarrh and also having sleeping room well ventilated summer and winter will
help in curing disease." This remedy will be found very effective in catarrh because it
loosens up the secretions and cleanses the nose of the foul secretions and also has an
antiseptic action. This can be used twice daily. Snuffing should be done very gently so as
not to draw the water too far back.

Cold

Cold, Milk and Cayenne as a Preventive.--"Drink a glass of milk with a pinch

Colds and Cough

Hops or Catnip Poultice for.--"Hops or catnip put in little
bags and steamed until hot, then placed on lungs and throat." This is a very good remedy,
as the hot bags act as a poultice and draw the congestion from the diseased parts. It
produces not only local, but general perspiration.
