The cheapie mouthwash

Know your mouth wash - most stain yer teeth, eventually. And beware drinking fruit juices too soon after - especially citrous fruits.

Been known fer years, dentists will tell you - mine suggested salty water for killing infections.

Pure Neatsfoot Oil can help with creaking joints. It ain't no miracle cure, and the placebo quotient is hard to define, but the old chemist's** tale is that ostlers were known for suffering much less from arthritis. I buy the pure stuff, which in cold weather can harden, but not in a heated house. Neatsfoot Compound is adulterated with mineral oils to prevent hardening. Mind you, I am not a martyr to arthritis, just wear and tear from dancing.

**bought it for the bodhran from a really old chemist 30 years ago. And he told the tale.
