Another home remedy from the INGLENOOK DOCTOR BOOK (1903): FRESH CUTS. #636. --Nothing is better than turpentine if immediately applied, as it is painless and will heal without inflammation.--Annie Pitzer, Cordell, Okla; Sarah A. Sell, Newry, Pa.; Ida Wampler Mohler, Leeton, Mo; Clifford Ellis, Dixie, Wash.; MRS. J. H KIMMEL, Morrill, Kans. (Incidentally, Annie Pitzer, who gave the same advice, was my dad's aunt, though not a Kimmel.) "BURNS. #669. -- Apply aqua ammonia immediately. -- PORTER KIMMEL, Morrill, Kans." "'RUSTY NAIL AND SIMILAR WOUNDS. #717. -- Apply grated or scraped raw beets as poultice. Renew as fast as it becomes dry. --Anna Sniteman, Keota, Iowa; D C Summy, Mt. Pleasant, Pa; PORTER KIMMEL, Morrill, Kans." Since this book isn't indexed by contributors, I may have missed some Kimmel entries. Jan T
