The Cranberry. — All fruits have a medicinal value, and the cran- 

 berr5- ranks as an anti-scorbutic. It is a blood cleanser; bruised and 

 heated, not cooked, it has a healing effect on humors. One cut in half 

 bound on a corn will cure it in one or inore applications. It will be 

 found equally efficacious in the case of pimples. As an article of food 

 the cranberry is too little known. Many families know it only in the 

 form of sauce, but it may be served in inany other ways. A cool, re- 

 fresJiing drink may be made by boiling the berries in water double 

 the measure of berries. Boil until the juice has been thoroughly ex- 

 tracted, sweeten with one-half pound of sugar to thepint of juice 

 and bottle hot. — Greengrocer.
