Remedy for Dysentery.-The egg is con-
sidered one of the best of remedies for dysen-
terry. Beaten up slightly, with or without
sugar, and swallowed at gulp, it tends by
its emollient qualities, to lessen the indam-
nation Of the stomach and intestines, and
by forming a transient coating on these or
gans, to enable nature to resume her health
full sway over diseased body. Two, or at
most three eggs per day would be all that is
required in ordinary cases; and since egg
is rot merely medicine, but food as well,
the lighter the diet otherwise and the quieter
the patient is kept, the more certain and
rapid is the recovery.

have in the house is Jar or bottle of lime

pleasant OdOr. A person who needs milk,
but whose digestion is so weak as not to
manage it, will find no inconvenience If into

glass of lime water. The difference in taste
is not peTceptible.
