The Use of the Lemon.

As a writer in the London Lancet remarks, few people know the value of lemon juice. A piece of lemon bound upon a corn will cure it iu a few days; it should be renewed night and morning. A free use of lemon juice and sugar will always relieve a cough. Most people feel poorly in the spring, but if they would eat a lemon before breakfast every day for a week—with or without sugar as they like—they would find it better than any medicine. Lemon juice used according to this recipe will sometimes cure consumption: Put a dozen lemons into cold water and slowly bring to a boil; boil slowly until the lemons are soft, then squeeze until all the juice is extracted; add sugar to suit your taste and drink. In this way use one dozen lemons a day. If they cause pain, or loosen the bowels too much, lessen the quantity and use only five or siz a day until you are better, and then begin again with a dozen a day. After using five or six dozen the patient will begin to gain flesh and enjoy food. Hold on to the lemons, and still use thorn very freely for several weeks more. Ar ot ier use for lemons is for a refreshing drink in summer, or in sickness, at any time. Prepare as directed above and add water and sugar. But in order to have this keep well, after boiling the lemons squeeze and strain carefully; then to every balf pint of juice add one pound of loaf or crushed sugar, boil and stir a few minutes more until the sugar is

dissolved, skim car 'fully and bottle.' You will get more juice from the lemons by boiling them, and the prepar* tion keeps better. Read the financial article on first page. It is a complete refutation of the radical theory advocated by his Fraudulency, Garfield, and other leaders in that party.
