GRANDMA'S CURES

Keep this on the Fridge

Did You Know That? Drinking two glasses of Gatorade can
relieve headache pain almost immediately -- without the unpleasant side
effects caused by traditional "pain relievers."

Did you know that Colgate toothpaste makes an excellent salve
for burns.

Before you head to the drugstore for a high-priced inhaler filled with
mysterious chemicals, try chewing on a couple of curiously strong
Altoids peppermints. They'll clear up your stuffed nose.

Achy muscles from a bout of the flu? Mix 1 Tablespoon of
horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes,
then apply it as a massage oil for instant relief for aching muscles.

Sore throat? Just mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1/4 cup of honey and
take 1 tablespoon six times a day. The vinegar kills the bacteria.

Cure urinary tract infections with Alka-Seltzer. Just
dissolve two tablets in a glass of water and drink it at the onset of
the symptoms. Alka-Seltzer begins eliminating urinary tract
infections almost instantly -- even though the product was never been
advertised for this use.

Honey remedy for skin blemishes
Cover the blemish with a dab of
honey and place a Band-Aid over it. Honey kills the bacteria,
keeps the skin sterile, and speeds healing. Works overnight.

Listerine therapy for toenail fungus
Get rid of unsightly toenail fungus by soaking your toes in Listerine
mouthwash. The powerful antiseptic leaves your toenails looking healthy
again.

Easy eyeglass protection
To prevent the screws in eyeglasses
from loosening, apply a small drop of Maybelline Crystal
Clear nail polish to the threads of the screws before tightening them.

Coca-Cola cure for rust
Forget those expensive rust removers. Just saturate an abrasive sponge
with Coca Cola and scrub the rust stain. The phosphoric acid in the coke is what gets the
job done.

Cleaning liquid that doubles as bug killer If menacing bees,
wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets get in your home and you can't find
the insecticide, try a spray of Formula 409. Insects drop to
the ground instantly.

Smart splinter remover
just pour a drop of Elmer's
Glue-All over the splinter, let dry, and peel the dried glue off
the skin. The splinter sticks to the dried glue.

Hunt's tomato paste boil cure
cover the boil with Hunt's tomato paste as a compress. The acids from the
tomatoes soothe the pain and bring the boil to a head.

Balm for broken blisters
To disinfect a broken blister, dab on a
few drops of Listerine a powerful antiseptic.

Heinz vinegar to heal bruises
Soak a cotton ball in white vinegar and apply it to the bruise for 1 hour.
The vinegar reduces the blueness and speeds up the healing process.

Kills fleas instantly
Dawn dish washing liquid does the trick.
Add a few drops to your dog's bath and shampoo the animal
thoroughly. Rinse well to avoid skin irritations. Goodbye fleas.

Rainy day cure for dog odor
Next time your dog comes in from the
rain, simply wipe down the animal with Bounce or any dryer
sheet, instantly making your dog smell springtime fresh.

Eliminate ear mites
All it takes is a few drops of Wesson corn oil in your cat's ear.
Massage it in, then clean with
a cotton ball. Repeat daily for 3 days. The oil soothes the cat's
skin, smothers the mites, and accelerates healing. *

Quaker Oats for fast pain relief
It's not for breakfast anymore!
Mix 2 cups of Quaker Oats and 1 cup of water in a bowl
and warm in the microwave for 1 minute, cool slightly, and apply the
mixture to your hands for soothing relief from arthritis pain. *
