    3. My favorite cure: Being a young mother of 20, want to take the new baby to see the family. We drove from Fl to Bristol in a day. The man from the diaper service suggested these new paper diaper for the trip. We thought they were wonderful, until my blue eyed blond child with very fair skin, turned bright fire engine red on the behind. By the time we got to granny's house he was real fretful. She sent me to the store for something, a ruse get me out to the house. When I returned the baby was content, when I went to change him next, his bottom was covered with a tick covering. Grandma quickly explained that it was Crisco cause my Uncles would not bring her lard any more. She said lard was all she ever used on her 12 and it was much cheaper and worked 10 times better than any fancy store stuff! We still use Crisco in our family for diaper rash now a total of five generations later.
