How to Cook Hot Water.

The late Charles Delmonico used to talk about the new hot-water cure. He said the Delmonicos were the first to recommend it to guests who complained of having no appetite. “Take a cup of hot water and lemon, and you will feftl better,” was the formula adopted. The lemon juice takes away the insipidity of hot. wafer. For this anti-bil-ious remedy the' caterers charged the price of a drink of their best liquors (twenty-five cents or more), and it certainly- was a wiser way to spend small change than in alcohol. “Few people know how to cook water,” Charles used tc affirm. “The secret is putting good fresh water info n a neat kettle already quite warm, and setting the water to boil qtiibkly, and then taking it right off to use in tea, coffee or other drinks before it is spoiled. To let it steam, and simmer, an 4 evaporate, until the good water is all in the atmosphere, and the lime and iron dregs onlydeft in the kettle—bah! that is what makes a great many people sick, and is worse than no water at all.” Every lady wh<J reads this valuable recipe of a great and <?areful cook should never forget how to cook water. “The light that lies In woman’s eyes" is a ray of heaven’s, own brightness: bgt it is, alas! often dimmed or quenched by some wearing disease, perhaps silently borne, but taking ail comfort and enjoyment out of lite. That light of the household can be rekindled and made to glow with its natural brightness. Dr. R. V.

Gradually the disease worked down upon my lungs, ir.y left ear was almost deaf, my voice was failing me. I procured one bottle of Ely’s Cream Balm, ana witbin five days my hearing was restored, the pain ceased over my eyes, and I am now enjoying good health. I recommended it to some of my friends. One o! them sent for a bottle. He told me that half of it cured him.
