Mosquito Remedies and Household Cures in a Nineteenth Century Guide
A long list of home remedies for pests and ailments, including using smoke from burnt insect powder and carbolic acid cloth at the bed, ice splinters to ease teething, oxalic acid for ivy poison, and a cold-water rinse for skin irritations. It also notes veterinary and agricultural tips, such as bran as cattle feed, wells for hog water, and a choking method for horses to curb balking. The piece cites hospital physicians and a missionary source, reflecting era medical thinking and rural practicality.
