Use of Lemons In Sickness.

Lemons plentifully and judiciously used will prevent malaria, and even typhoid, it is said, may* be warded off by the timely use of lemons. Not only is the juice beneficial, but the rind as well. In England every foreign-going ship Is required by law to include in its supplies a sufficient number of lemons so that every seaman may have in his dally diet an allowance of one ounqe of lemon juice after having been ten days at sea, this to prevent the scurvy so prevalent among sailors.
