*GRANDMA'S  CURES* 
Keep  this on 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 o! n 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 oi l, 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. 

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.  It is also good for  dandruff!!!

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 sh! ampoo 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 hand! s for
soothing  relief from arthritis pain.

If  you send this to 10 people and only one of them doesn't know about  this,
then it was worth  it
