IL one needs sIlmulant there is
nothing so beneficial as hot coffee. 1t
Is even recommended for drunkards.
If they have craving for their drink
make a good cup Of strong coffee for
hem, aud make them take it while
piping hot. 1t will often satisfy the
craving, and warm the stomach.
But coffee must be made properly
to do the best good, aud to be agree
able. This is tic rule recommended
by physicians; Two ounces of coffee
should be used to each pint Of water
The water must come to a good boil

do not boil it for any length of time,
