My friend H. J. Zindler of
Schwertner dropped by The
Tribune office one day this
week and left his sure remedy
for arthritis. It is as follows:
1 quart jar filled with green
cedar leaves; 20c block of cam-
phor (chopped fine) ; 1 oz. of
wintergreen oil; 1 pint of 190
proof alcohol.
Let above set several days
and then rub affected part of
body using a hot towell.
If you try it give me a buzz.
Thanks Mr. Zindler!
