no injury. A suggestion may not come
amiss as to a good plan, when lemons
are cheap in the market, to make good

more easily; then press the juice into
q bowl or tumbler-never into q tin !;

bad taste. Remove all the pulp from
the peels, and boil in water-a pint for

few minutes boiling is enough; then
strain the water with the juice of the
lemons, put q pound of white sugar to
pint Of the juice, boil ten minutes,
bottle it, and your lemonade is ready.
Put tablespoonful or two of this
lemonade sypup in glass of water,
and have cooling, healthful drink.
