ons, as the appetite Graves, in as much
ice-waier as makes it pleasant TO drink
without sugar, before going TO bed.
In the morning, on rising, or at least
half an hour before breakfast, take the
juice Of one lemon in a goblet Of
water. This will clear the system Of
humors and bile, without any Of the
weakening effects Of Congress water.
People should not irritate the stomach
by eating the lemons; the powerful
acid OF the juice, which is almost cor

work without harm, and when the
stomach is clear of food, has abundant
opportunity to work on the system

to the newspaper press. A young
man, on commencing business, pro.
posed to paint over his window -
"John Thompson, halter, makes and
sells hats for ready money to which
was added the sign Of hat. One
friend suggested that az he made and
sold hats, the word Chatter was un.
necessary. It was therefore struck
out, and the sign remained John
Thompson makes and sells hats for
ready money" Another friend ad-
vised him to omit the phrase "for
ready money as there would occur
occasions for selling on credit; and so
the sign read John Thompson
makes and sells hats" It was then
limited that the buyer of the hat did
not care who made it, and that the
sign would be better iii read "John
Thompson sells hats" But another
amputation was in store still, for
critic pointed out the uselessness Of
the phrase, SELLS hats" as no one
would ever suppose that the hats were
to given away for nothing Thus at
last this aspiring tradesman com.
menced business, like many worthy
SUCCESSORS, under the modest sign of
