You might wonder how life was without electricity or technology or even the internet.<\/p>\n
How did people discover stuff without the help of sites such as Google and Wikipedia<\/strong>? Even before electricity was discovered or the first computer was built, people found a way to learn life lessons that helped them get through each day with ease.<\/p>\n The old people in the society<\/a> definitely had a lot of knowledge that they passed down to the young generation<\/a>.<\/p>\n The most widespread method that would reach many people was in written form. One cigarette company by the name \u201cGallagher Cigarettes<\/em>\u201d would teach people on how to handle accidents through \u201cHow-To<\/em>\u201d cards on their cigarette packs.<\/p>\n You will need one pound of salt, half a pound of sal ammoniac and water. Dissolve the salt<\/a> and the sal ammoniac in the water. Put the mixture in a glass bottle and set aside in case of an emergency fire outbreak.<\/p>\n Should a splinter ever get into your arm, here is an easy way of getting rid of it. Get a wide-mouthed bottle and fill it almost full with hot water. Firmly press the area with the splinter against the mouth of the bottle and let it sit for a while.<\/p>\n You should be able to extract it with ease with the help of the suction pressure from the bottle.<\/p>\n Pick up newly laid eggs and put them into a box with dry salt. Keep them in a cool dry place where no air can seep into the container.<\/p>\n If a dog ever attacks you, you can use a stick as a barrier between you and it. A dog will try to bite you first so with the stick, it will bite into the stick first. Then you can pounce with a kick!<\/p>\n Fill water into a large bucket placed it on a surface that\u2019s higher than the plants\u2019 surface. Twist strands of wool together and immerse one end into the bucket and the other end into the soil. Remember to use different strands for each plant.<\/p>\n Lighting a matchstick in a windy place can be hectic but you can overcome this by cutting some thin shavings on the matchstick- towards the striking end. This will make the match light easier and faster in a windy area.<\/p>\n In a clean zinc water pail with a hole at the bottom, add sand with different textures arranged in the following order from the bottom to the top: large stones, small stones, coarse sand, and fine sand.<\/p>\nWell, we have rolled back the years as we compile the most compelling life hacks and tips from some of those coveted cards used back then.
