Simple home remedies for sunburn and hair care
The article describes a quick sunburn remedy using a paste of talc and water to soothe pain, plus an aftercare tip to apply at night. It also recommends ordinary bay rum as a daily hair tonic applied with a toothbrush, promising noticeable improvement after the first use. A letter from Mrs. Bullion humorously asks that her daughter not study vulgar fractions again, preferring refined ones.
