Keep this in the fridge

             Did You Know  That? Drinking two glasses of  Gatorade can relieve headache pain  almost immediately -- without the unpleasant side effects caused by  traditional "pain relievers."

             Did you know  that  Colgate toothpaste makes an  excellent salve for  burns. Before you head to the  drugstore for a high-priced inhaler filled with mysterious chemicals,  try chewing on a couple of curiously strong  Altoids  peppermints. They'll clear up your stuffed  nose.


             Achy  muscles from a bout of the flu? Mix 1  Tablespoon of horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil. Let the mixture sit for  30 minutes, then apply it as a massage oil, for instant relief for  aching muscles.

             Sore  throat? Just mix 1/4 cup of vinegar  with 1/4 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day. The vinegar kills the bacteria.
             Cure  urinary tract infections with  Alka-Seltzer .  Just
             dissolve two tablets in a glass of water and drink it at
             the onset  of the symptoms. Alka-Seltzer  begins eliminating
             urinary tract infections almost instantly -- even  though
             the product was never been advertised for this use. (Note:
             Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold  Medicine is  not the same..and
             contains aspirin, which can cause stomach bleeding if  you
             have  ulcers.)

              Honey  remedy  for skin blemishes... Cover the blemish
             with a dab of honey and place a  Band-Aid  over it. Honey kills
             the bacteria, keeps the skin sterile, and speeds  healing.
             Works overnight.


              Listerine  therapy  for toenail fungus... Get rid of
             unsightly  toenail fungus by soaking your toes in 
             Listerine mouthwash. The powerful antiseptic leaves your toenails
             looking healthy  again.


             Easy  eyeglass protection... To prevent the screws in
             eyeglasses from loosening, apply a small drop  of 
             Maybelline Crystal  Clear nail polish to the threads  of the screws
             before tightening  them.


             Coca-Cola  cure  for rust... Forget those expensive  rust
             removers. Just saturate an abrasive sponge  with  Coca 
             Cola and scrub the  rust stain. The phosphoric acid in the coke
              is  what gets the job  done.


             Cleaning  liquid that doubles as bug killer... If menacing
             bees, wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets get in your home
             and you can't  find the insecticide, try a spray of  Formula 
            409. Insects drop to the ground  instantly.



             Smart  splinter remover...just pour a drop  of  Elmer's
             Glue-All over the splinter, let dry,  and peel the dried
             glue off the skin. The splinter sticks to the dried  glue.


              Hunt's  tomato  paste boil cure....cover the boil  with
             Hunt's  tomato paste as a compress. The acids from the
             tomatoes soothe the pain  and bring the boil to a  head.


             Balm  for broken blisters...To disinfect a broken 
            blister,  dab on a few drops of  Listerine ...  a powerful
             antiseptic.


             Heinz  vinegar  to heal bruises... Soak a cotton ball in
             white vinegar and apply it to the bruise for 1 hour. The
             vinegar reduces  the blueness and speeds up the healing
             process.


             Kills  fleas instantly.  Dawn  dish washing liquid does
             the trick. Add a few drops to your dog's bath  and shampoo the
             animal thoroughly. Rinse well to avoid skin irritations.
             Goodbye fleas.


              Rainy  day cure for dog odor... Next time your dog comes 
              in from the rain, simply wipe down the animal  with  Bounce
              or any dryer sheet, instantly making your dog smell
              springtime fresh.


             Eliminate  ear mites... All it takes is a few  drops of
             Wesson corn  oil in your cat's ear. Massage  it in, then
              clean with a cotton ball. Repeat daily for 3 days. The oil 
              soothes the cat's skin, smothers the mites, and accelerates 
              healing.


              Quaker  Oats for  fast pain relief....It's not for
              breakfast  anymore! Mix 2 cups of  Quaker  Oats and 1 cup of  water
              in a bowl and warm in the microwave for 1 minute, cool
              slightly, and apply the mixture to your hands for soothing relief
              from arthritis  pain.
