Milk and lime-water are now fire.
quently prescribed by physicians in
cases Of dyspepsia and weakness Of the
stomach, and in some cases are said to
prove very beneficial. Many persons
who think good bread and milk great
luxury frequently hesitate to eat il, for
the reason that the milk will not digest
readily; sourness Of stomach will often
follow. But experience proves that
lime-water and milk are not only food
and medicine at an early period Of life,
but also at a later, when, as in the case
OF infants, the functions Of digestion
and assimilation have been seriously
impaired. A stomach taxed by glut-
tony, irritated by improper food, in
fiamed by alcohol, enfeebled by disease,
or otherwise untitled for its duties-as is
shown by various symptoms attendant
upon Indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhea,
dysentery, and fever-will resume its
work, and do IT energetically, on an ex-
elusive diet Of bread and milk and lime
water. A goblet Of cows milk may
have four tablespoonfuls Of Underwater
added to It with good effect. The way
TO make lime-water is simply to procure
q few Jumps of unslacked lime, put the
lime in a stone jar, add water until the
lime is Stacked and OF about the con-
sistence Of thin cream the lime settles,
leaving the pure and clear Underwater
at the top. Great care should be
taken not to get the limc-water too
strong. Keep to the direction as to the
consistency, and when the water rises
pour 1t off without obtaining any Of the
lime. This water is also good To apply
to burns and scalds. In Stacking the
lime, take care that none OF the parti-
cles fly into the eyes.
