A CORRESPONDENT of an English med.
ical journal furnishes the following recipe
as new cure for consumption: "Put q
dozen whole lemons in cold water and
boil until soft mot too soft; roll and
squeeze until the juice is all extracted !;
sweeten the juice enough to be palatable,
then drink. Use as many as dozen q
day. Should they cause pain or looseness
of the bowels, lessen the quantity. and
use five or six a day until better. then be-
gin and use dozen again. By the time
you have used five or six Dr. zen you will
begin to gain strength and have an appe-
tite. Of course, as you grow better you
need not use SO many. Follow these di
rections and we know that you will never
regret it if there is any help for you.
Only keep it up faithfully. We know OF
two cases where both the patients were
given up by the physicians, and were in
the last stages of consumption, yet both
we're cured by using lemons according to
the directions we have stated One lady
in particular was bedridden and very low
had tried everything that money could
procure, but all in vain; when, to please a
friend, she was finally persuaded to use
the lemons. She began to use them in
February, and in April she weighed 40
pounds. She is we'll woman to-day, and
likely to live as long as any of u.s."
