Hot Onions and Pneumonia.

Hot onions, according to a French
physician, are said to be sure cure
for pneumonia. The remedy is an fol-
lows: Take six or ten onions, accord
ing to size and chop fine; put in large
pan over a fire, then add the same
quantity of rye meal and vinegar
enough to make thick paste. In the
mean time stir it thoroughly, letting
it simmer for five or ten minutes.
Then put in a cotton bag large enough
to cover the lungs, and apply to chest
as hot as patient can bear. In about
ten minutes apply another, and thus
continue by reheating the poultices,
and in a few minutes the patient will
be out of danger. This simple reme-
DIV has never failed to cure this too
often fatal malady. Usually three or
four applications will be sufficient,
