~~ anything and we doubt if
there is anyone living who
would know how to mix it We only know that sulphur, burdock, bitters,
salts, senna, and sassafras were among the items used, maybe not all at
once
Home Hints: Paint rollers with short naps are best for most walls, ceilings,
woodwork, and smooth concrete Use long-napped rollers for stucco, brick,
wire fences, and most irregular surfaces
