Answer 1

Coal oil was the only remedy that was very effective in the 30's. It can be purchased in camping supply stores. And, it's actually good for your hair.It will work.

Answer 2

Simple remedy that my mother used in the 40's/50's was a fine toothed comb.  We called it the 'nit comb' and it came out every Friday night after our hair had been washed.  To make this easier smother your hair in conditioner, do not rinse off, use the nit comb thoroughly wiping the comb with some paper after each stroke.  This will work and avoids the use of chemicals.
