Hidden DIY Treasure Has Been Discovered!

     I discovered a recipe buried way back in my collection.  The recipe is for something you don't see a recipe for very often,  hand lotion.  I don't recall making it.  Anyway, I'm glad I kept the recipe, so now we all can make it.

Recipe for hand lotion

1/2 oz gum tragacanth

4 oz cologne

4 oz glycerin

1 oz tincture or benzine, 

juice of two lemons

1 1/2 quarts soft water.  

Add the water to the gum.  Let stand for 24 hours.  After that time has passed, add the other ingredients.  Stir well. If too thick, add more soft water.

Sore Throat Relief

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon powdered borax

1 cup of very hot water.

Dissolve salt and borax in the hot water, and then gargle.

Of course these work too!
