A remedy for Neuralgia comes
from a physician in Germany, and /
have the opinion of several eminent
physicians here, that it has scien-
titic basis, and cannot in any case
do the least harm. Personally, l
have known it to be very successful
indeed. Get un-roasted coffee ber-
ries, of best quality, Java or Mocha,
and get but a small quantity at
time, as they should be. as fresh as
possible. At night put a table
spoonful of the berries in a cup, fill
the cup with boiling water, and cover
it tightly. Drink the water in the
morning as soon as you wake. This
must be taken regular for six weeks
in order to effect cure for chronic
cases. In acute attacks, this bever-
age can be taken three times a dav
if necessary. Persons who can not
ordinarily drink coffee, need not
fear to try this, Is entirely different
from that of the roasted berry.
Lovers of china decoration will be
glad to learn that an English firm
has now invented iron dishes. cover
ed with china enamel. In effect
they are said to be as like the ordi-
nary china that the difference can
be distinguished only by an expert.
How the transparency Of delicate
china is given to iron. | do not know
but it would certainly be comfort,
after putting hours of labor on a
decorated dish, to know that it
would not break.
