From the The Universal Household Assistant or What Every One Should Know (1884):

Things to try. — Try popcorn for nausea.    Try cranberries for malaria.    Try a sun-bath for rheumatism.    Try ginger ale for stomach cramps.    Try clam broth for a weak stomach.    Try cranberry poultice for erysipelas.    Try a wet towel to the back of the neck when sleepless.    Try swallowing saliva when troubled with sour stomach.    Try eating fresh radishes and yellow turnips for gravel.    Try eating onions and horseradish to relieve dropsical swellings.    Try buttermilk for removal of freckles, tan, and butternut stains.    Try taking your cod liver oil in tomato catsup, if you want to make it palatable.    Try hard cider -- a wine-glass three times a day -- for ague and rheumatism.    Try taking a nap in the afternoon if you are going to be out late in the evening.    Try breathing the fumes of turpentine or carbolic acid to remove whooping cough.    Try a cloth wrung out from cold water put about the neck at night for sore throat.    Try snuffing powdered borax up the nostrils for catarrhal "cold in the head."    Try walking with your hands behind you if you find yourself becoming bent forward.    Try a silk handkerchief over the face when obliged to go against a cold piercing wind.    Try planting sunflowers in your garden if compelled to live in a malarial district.

From the The Universal Household Assistant or What Every One Should Know (1884):

Worms — treatment of. — Some members of the profession still cling with bull-dog tenacity to the opinion that worms do not affect the health of children, and that they are natural to them. The latter may or may not be true, but when they accumulate in the intestines, they produce the same disturbance that any foreign, indigestible substance would do. We find the picking of the nose, swollen lower eye-lids, restlessness in sleep, groaning, gritting teeth, starting, and lastly, spasms.    Worms kill more children than teething*; and when you find the above symptoms with a strawberry tongue and a fever, which will attack several times daily, going off as frequently in cold sweats, you can swear that you have a case of worms, and had as well prepare and attack them.    Now as to the best means of getting rid of them. I use the fluid extract of senna and spigelia in teaspoon doses for patients of eight or ten years of age, and less in proportion, night and morning, for three nights and days, following this up each morning with a good dose of castor oil, provided the senna and spigelia does not act. Then wait three days, and again institute the same proceedings, and for the same length of time.    This treatment is for the lumbricoid. For the oxyuris, or "thread worm," I see any bitter infusion by enema, sulph, quinine, followed by an enema of common salt and milk-warm water half an hour afterward, which will destroy and expel them.    The symptoms of the presence of the worm are the same as the scratching of the anus. If every practitioner will use these he will be gratified by the restoration to immediate health of many a little sufferer, who would otherwise linger in sickness for many months and perhaps eventually die.    Worms in Horses — to cure. — A remedy for worms in a horse which has never failed of a cure is to take half a cup of pure, hard wood ashes, finely sifted and mixed dry with the mash or food. If one dose should not prove sufficient, repeat it after a day or two.    Worm Lozenges. — Powdered lump sugar, ten ounces; starch, five ounces; mix with mucilage; and to every ounce add twelve grains of calomel; divide into twenty grain lozenges. Dose, two to six.    Worm Medicines. — 1. Two tablespoonfuls of pumpkin seeds peeled and pulverized, or given to a child who will chew fine. The seed does not kill, but stupefies the worm. The next day give castor oil or any other cathartic, and if the worms are present in the system they will pass off.    2. Make an infusion in the proportion of one pint of boiling water to one ounce of dried hyssop flowers; let it stand ten minutes; pour it off into a wine bottle, and take a wine-glass, or rather less, according to age, two or three times a day.

* Teething was thought to be a common cause infant mortality in the 19^th century, however most "teething deaths" were actually caused by opium poising from the opium and morphine teething infants were treated with.

The blood from my nose looks like a beautiful sunset on my napkin.

I thought it was candy. But it wasn't. I have no idea what it was, but I can't get the taste out of my mouth. And now the perfume is drifting up my nose.

i try to use make my journal as accurate an expression of me as possible
i try to censor as little of my life as possible
it is important
it is part of my statement
be ashamed of nothing
i know i don't embody that fully
there are things i'm ashamed of
i'm ashamed that i still pick my nose
that's something i've never mentioned in livejournal
and i am now
because this journal should be an expression of me
i try to use filters when posting things that might hurt somebody
i know there's a chance the person may see it anyway
but i can't break my statement
i must post how i'm feeling
where i am
it is a selfish act
i know this
but i feel compelled to do it anyway
i think that is why many people read my journal
because i don't hold much back
if i'm doing bad, i say i'm doing bad
if i just cut, i say i just cut
if i do cocaine, i say i did cocaine
i'm not trying to paint a bad or good picture
i'm trying to paint a real picture
i want the journal to be as pure as possible
and i know i've alienated and hurt people i love in the process
i know i've shot myself in the foot by saying too much at times
maybe i should change how i do things
maybe this journal is too much
maybe my statement is made already
maybe i should be less obsessed with letting go
releasing everything

The wintery feeling in my nose is fading away. I still feel very good. I'm enjoying a nice hot bowl of tomatoe soup. Today is a good day.

The cool feeling in the nose just doesn't go away. I can't decide whether I like it or not. It's not terribly annoying. But it is weird. It feels like there is a cool winter breeze constantly flowing through my nose. Maybe that's good. Maybe it'll get annoying if it doesn't stop. Other than that, I feel very good.

I just did a nice fat line of Klonopin (1mg). It doesn't burn the nose at all. There's actually a cool sensation in my nose. Sort of like I had a peppermint candy. I feel very mellow. It took care of my panic attack right away. I can taste the Klonopin in the back of my throat, but it doesn't taste bad. I may have to try this again.
