To Relieve that Cough.

One’s doctor will encouragingly inform one, when struggling back to strength from an attack of grippe: “That cough of yours will have to wear out. You can scarcely expect to rid yourself of it before wanner weather.” If this is true, the least that one can do Is to mitigate, so far as is possible, the violence of the throat affection. Glycerine is excellent as part of a mixture for moistening the dry feeling there. Either with water or with whisky it is beneficial, but the latter dose is rather sickishly sweet for one already nauseated by the influenza. Equal parts of glycerine and lemon juice make a compound which is not unlike strong lemonade In taste, is refreshing to take after severe coughing and is highly recommended by physicians.
