Onions are kind of al-round good
medicine, and every housewife knows this
without knowing why. She knows that a
solid red onion eaten at bedtime will by the
next morning break the SevcrpSu cold. Sne
also knows that onions make good pIaS-
ter to remove Inflammation and hoarSe-
ness. But She does not know why If
anyone would take an onion and mash it
so as To secure all the juice in it, he would
have a most remarkable smelling substance
that would quiet the most nervous person.
The strength of il inhaled for few mo-
mcuts will duh the sense of smell and
weaken the nerves until sleep is produced
from sheer exhaustion. II all comes from
one property possessed by the onion and
that is a form of opium.
