TO BRING HAIR UPON A SCALDED 

 PART. 



Fresh hog's lard rubbed frequently upon the affected part, will 

 reproduce hair ; indeed, I am inclined to think that animal fat 

 in general will have the desired effect. Fresh goose grease, or 

 the fat of fowls, unmixed with salt, will answer the purpose equally 

 well. Vegetable oils are of too dry a nature, and their effects, 

 as applied to the growth of hair, pernicious. Yet there are not 

 wanting quacks who daily advertise the sale of oil for the growth 

 of hair on the human head ; and by way of the strongest possible 

 recommendation, specifically state, that it is extracted from vege- 

 tables ! This is lamentable, but it is still more so, that such 

 numbers of the unthinking become the dupes of these ignorant 

 pretenders, whose existence is a stigma on the liberality of the 

 public. 



TO DESTROY FLEAS, LICE, &r. 



Take of white arsenic, one (Irani 

 water, one gallon 

 soft soap, one quarter of a pound 



boil for ten minutes ; then take it off the fire and let it stand to 

 settle, then pour it off into another vessel, leaving about half a 

 pint at the bottom, which throw away, and dress with the water.
