tablets in a glass of water and drink it at the onset of the
symptoms.*Alka-Seltzer begins eliminating urinary tract infections almost instantly -- even though the product was never been advertised for this use.* (Note:Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold Medicineis not the same..and contains aspirin, which can cause stomach bleeding if you have ulcers.)**

saturate an abrasive sponge with* Coca Cola* and scrub the rust stain. The
phosphoric acid in the coke is what gets the job done.*

hornets, or yellow jackets get in your home and you can't find the
insecticide, try a spray of* Formula** 409*. Insects drop to the ground

splinter, let dry, and peel the dried glue off the skin. The splinter sticks

apply it to the bruise for 1 hour. The vinegar reduces the blueness and
speeds up the healing process.*

drops to your dog's bath and shampoo the animal thoroughly. Rinse well to
