Garlic for Colds
Dear Aunt Daisy, While ironing this morning I heard you mention the use of garlic poultices for colds. I have six children, five of whom have had whooping cough, and I can recommend garlic-but with it I used lard. This is the way I used it. Crush one good sized knob of garlic (skin as well) on a clean board; put it into a basin, and stir in %4lb. of lard. When needed for use, night, and morning, put some in a saucer and warm it, then rub this juice on the soles of the feet, chest, throat and back-especially between the shoulder blades. It is inclined to spoil the singlet, so I kept to the same two, one on and one off, until the child was better.
