Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 185, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 August 1912 — Hot Sand Bags. [ARTICLE]

Hot Sand Bags.

As a substitute for hot-water bags in, ordinary ailments such as toothache, earache and other minor pains, use common flannel bags made in convenient sizes, with drawstrings. Fill them with hot sand or salt, and they are safer than a cheap rubber bottle, just as efficacious and much handler to use. Keep half a dozen ready; they are of great help in time of aches and pains.
