Burial will be in Valley Brook Cemetery north of Michigan Valley. ------ Ethel (Moody) McGinty: Mom had lots of remedies. We never went to doctors unless it was something serious she couldn't handle. For diarrhea: two tablespoons of castor oil followed by a cup of lemonade sweetened with honey. For puncture wounds: soak in turpentine mixed with warm water. For drawing out splinters or infection from wounds: tear dry bread (bakery homemade type) in pieces and pour boiling water over it and add baking soda to make a thick paste. Put the mixture in a piece of muslin and put on wound as hot as can be tolerated. When it cools off put it back in a pan and warm it up. To keep it from cooling off too quickly wrap a towel around the poultice. For bee stings and insect bites: make a paste of baking soda and water and put on bite. For cough: Onion syrup - cut an onion in half and place a half in a teacup with the cut side up. Sprinkle sugar over the cut side. Place a saucer over the top of the cup and invert. Place in a warm spot near heat and let set until syrup oozes out into the saucer and use as a cough syrup. Good for croup and bronchitis. For sore throat: gargle with hot water and salt mixture. Then drink hot lemonade sweetened with honey. For stomach distress: a teaspoon of Raleigh's red liniment in a cup of warm milk. For sore muscles: Rub with Raleigh's red liniment: For infected or open wounds: Sprinkle with Raleighs Healing Powder. Or Soak in water as hot as can be tolerated with dish detergent in it and then put Iodine on it. For chest colds: Rub chest with Vicks Vaporub and cover with a flannel cloth.
You can still get Raleigh's products in some mail order catalogs. The only one of these I would be hesitant to use is using Raleigh's liniment for stomach distress. The bottle says not to take it internally. ------ Alice Cox: My dad was good to my mother. Every year, on her birthday, he would go buy a dress for her. We had to sell her farm that was south of Ottawa about 1957 due to her poor health. She lived in a trailer that was parked on the farm Clarence and Frances Pippenger lived on that was SE of Pomona, KS. She lived there a year or two and then had to go into the nursing home. She was there briefly and died in 1959.
