This
is
used
for
ringworm,
and
scald
head.
TO
SOFTEN
THE
SKIN,
AND
IMPROVE
THE
COMPLEXION.--If
flowers
of
sulphur
be
mixed
in
a
little
milk,
and,
after
standing
an
hour
or
two,
the
milk
(without
disturbing
the
sulphur)
be
rubbed
into
the
skin,
it
will
keep
it
soft,
and
make
the
complexion
clear.
It
is
to
be
used
before
washing.
TO
REMOVE
BLACK
STAINS
FROM
THE
SKIN.--Ladies
that
wear
mourning
in
warm
weather
are
much
incommoded
by
the
blackness
it
leaves
on
the
arms
and
neck,
and
which
cannot
easily
be
removed,
even
by
soap
and
warm
water.
To
have
a
remedy
always
at
hand,
keep,
in
the
drawer
of
your
wash-stand,
a
box,
containing
a
mixture
in
equal
portions
of
cream
of
tartar,
and
oxalic
acid
(POISON).
Get,
at
a
druggist's,
half
an
ounce
of
each
of
these
articles,
and
have
them
mixed
and
pounded
together
in
a
mortar.
Put
some
of
this
mixture
into
a
cup
that
has
a
cover,
and
if,
afterwards,
it
becomes
hard,
you
may
keep
it
slightly
moistened
with
water.
See
that
it
is
always
closely
covered.
To
use
it,
wet
the
black
stains
on
your
skin
with
the
corner
of
a
towel,
dipped
in
water
(warm
water
is
best,
but
is
not
always
at
hand).
Then,
with
your
finger,
rub
on
a
little
of
the
mixture.
Then
immediately
wash
it
off
with
water,
and
afterwards
with
soap
and
water,
and
the
black
stains
will
be
visible
no
longer.
This
mixture
will
also
remove
ink,
and
all
other
stains
from
the
fingers,
and
from
white
clothes.
It
is
more
speedy
in
its
effects
if
applied
with
warm
water.
No
family
should
be
without
it,
but
care
must
be
taken
to
keep
it
out
of
the
way
of
young
children,
as,
if
swallowed,
it
is
poisonous.
