A
Cure
for
ingroiowg
Nails
on
Toes.
Take
a
little
tallow
and
put
it
into a
spoon,
and
heat
it
over
a
lamp
until
it
becomes
very hot
;
then
pour
it
on
the
sore
or
granulation
;
the
effect
will
be almost
magical.
The
pain
and
tenderness
will
at
once
be
relieved.
The
operation
causes
very
little
pain
if
the
tallow
is
properly
heated
;
perhaps
a
repetition
may
in
some
cases
be
necessary.

To
make
a
very
superior
Hair-
Oil.
Take
half
an
ounce
of
alkanet-root,
which
may
be
bought
for
a
few
cents
at
the
druggist's.
Divide
this
quantity
into
four
portions,
and
tie
up
each
portion
in
a
separate
bit
of
new
bobinet
or
clean
thin
mus-
lin.
The
strings
must
be
white
:
for
instance,
coarse
white
thread
or
fine
cotton
cord.
Take
care
to
omit
any
powder
or
dust
that
may
be
found
about
tl
alkanet,
as
if
put
in
it
will
render
the
oil
cloudy
and
muddy.
Put
these
little
bags
into
a
large
tumbler
or
a
straight-sided
white-ware
jar,
and
pour
on
half
a
pint
of
the
best
fresh
olive-oiL
Cover
the
vessel,
and
leave
it
untouched
for
three
or
four
days
or a
week,
being
careful
not
to
shake
or
stir
it
;
do
not
press
or
squeeze
the
bags.
Have
ready
some
small
clear
glass
vial?,
or
a
large
one
that
will
hold
half
a
pint.
Take
out
carefully
the
bags
of
alkanet
and
lay
them
in
a
saucer.
You
will
find
that
they
have
coloured
the
oil
to
a
beautiful
crimson.
Put

the
w
