The inside pages start off with a little paragraph that tells the reader a some information about "The Magic Crystal." The following inside pages are filled with different ways Borax can be used in various rooms throughout the household. Some of those rooms include the bathroom, kitchen, laundry room and nursery. There are also medical recipes for for such things as sunburns, freckles and sore throats. The last couple pages in the inside entail a little history about Borax, information about "Borax" the Fly and some new and valuable uses for "20 Mule Team" Borax.
