4 correspondent of all English medical jour
nal furnishes the following recipe as new cure
for consump.ion: Put dozen whole lemons in
cold water and boil until soft (not too soft); roll
aud squeeze until the juice is all extracted;
swceten the Juice enough to be palatablc, then
drink Use as many rs duzen a day Should
they cause pain or loosencss Of the bowels, less
en- the quantity, and use five or sir day until
better, then begin and use dozen again. b.
the time you have used five or six dozen you
Will begin to gain strength and have an appc-
tite. VI course, as you grow better you nccd
not use SO many. Follow these directions and
VIC know that you never will regret it If there is
any help for you. Only keep it up faithfully.
We know Of two cases where both the patients
we're given up by the physicians, and we're In the
iast a.. stnges OF consumption yet both were cured
have stated. One lady in particular was bedrid-
den and vcry low; had tried everything that
money could procure, but all in vain; when, to
please friend. she was finally persuaded to use
the lemons. She began to use them in Febru-
ary, and in April she wcirhed no pounds. Size
is well woman to-day, and likely to live as long
as any Of us.
