REMEDY FOR DYsENTERY.--The egg
is considered one of the best rene
dies for dysentery. Beaten up
slightly. with or without sugar, and
swallowed at gulph, it tends by its
emolent qualities to lessen the infla-
nation of the stomach and intestincs,
and by forming transient coating
on these organs, to enable nature to
resume her healthful sway over "a
diseased body. Two, or at most
three eggs per day would be all that
is required in ordinary cases; and
since egg is not merely medicine,
but food as well, the lighter the diet
otherwise and the quieter the pa
tient is kept, the more certain and
rapid is the recovery.
