From the back cover: "1,001 HEALTH TIPS.
-If you're bothered by mosquitoes in the summer, Vitamin B1 supplements taken orally work as an effective insect repellent.
-Swallowing a tablet is easy with the head tilted backward, but swallowing a capsule that way is difficult, since the capsule is lighter than water and will float forward. If you tilt your head forward, the capsule will float backward for easy swallowing.
-A migraine attack can often be aborted just by exhaling into and rebreathing from a bag placed over the nose and mouth.
-The suffering of asthma can be greatly relieved by eating Cheddar cheese-a natural ingredient in the cheese helps dilate nasal passages.
- When you burn your tongue with hot food or drink, a few grains of sugar sprinkled on the site can sweetly undo the misery.
-Carsickness in a child can often be prevented by elevating the child's riding position by ten inches.
- The pain, burning, and itching of shingles can be greatly relieved by the slight pressure of an elasticized binder worn around the chest.
-Drinking coffee is precisely the wrong thing to do for a hangover, and can actually prolong its effects. Drink fruit juice instead.
-And hundreds more."
