To take fresh ink-stains out of earpets, soak up all that is possible with a piece of blotting-paper. Then wash with a sponge and two waters, or milk and water. Change the rinsing water as fast as it becomes dirty, and continue until the stain has almost disappeared. Then apply a paste of cold milk and calcined magnesia, and, when dry, brush with a clean nailbrush. This is a very simple remedy, and very inexpensive, for indigestion. Mix a teaspoonful of glycerine with a wineglasssful of water, and take it with or directly after each meal, until the enemy is outed, which in an ordinary case will be only a few days, and in a very obstinate case about a fortnight. The same treatment should be repeated if the indigestion manifests itself again. VVlien eggs are abundant, and they can easily be obtained very fresh, if you put them for two minutes in boiling water, and then in closely shutting boxes, they will keep fresh for months. All the empty space in the box should be filled with ashes or bran. Wher, you want a fresh egg in the winter, take it out of the box, and place it in cold water on the fire. Immediately the water begins to boil, the egg is ready to be served. An egg laid the same day could not be better. Despite of all that cynics say, There sometimes is a perfect day: Cloudless and dU3tless, calm and bright, The day that gives us all delight; The day that comes to compensate; For cold, grey winter days we hate; Those drizzling days we’d ne’er endure Had we no Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure. 10
