Lemons.- —The following concise ac count of the piopeites and uses of the lemon is taken from an exchange. The facts contained are well worthy to be borne in mind, for few people are acquainted with the various ways in which this most useful fruit may oe employed with benefit. The lemon is a native of Asia, although it is cultivated in Italy, Portugal, and in the south of France. In Europe, nowever, 4 seldom exceeds the dimensions of the smallest tree, while its native state is to grow over ninety feet in height. Every part of this tree is valuable In medicine, though we rarely employ any of it but its fruP, that is, the lemon itself.

And every one knows now to employ this, as in lemonade: I o squeeze the juice into cold, this is the shortest way, or to cut into slices and let soak in cold water; or to cutinto slices and then boil it; either way is good. Lemonade is one of the best and safest drinks for any person, whether in health or not. It is suitable In all stomach diseases, is excellent in sickness —in cases of jaundice, gravel, liver complaint, inflammation t f the bowels and fevers. It is a specific against worms and skin complaints. The pippins crushed may also be used with water and sugar as a drink. Lemon juice is the best anti scorbutic remedy known. It not only cures the disease, but prevents if. Sailors make a daily use of it for this purpose. A physician suggests rubbing of the gums daily with lemon juice to keen them in a healthy condition.

The hands are also kept clean, white, soft and suple by the daily use of lemon instead of soap. It also prevents chilblains. Lemon is used in intermittent fevers mixed with strong, hot black tea or coffee, without sugar. Neuralgia may be cured by rubbing the part affected with a lemon. It is valuable to cure warts, and to kill dandruff on the heal hy rubbing the roots of the hair with it.
