THE MICROBE OP CIDER 75 



Old cider is decidedly anti-bilious. A person 

 troubled with biliousness will be benefited by 

 taking a glass with, each meal. 



Old cider is also the natural remedy for jaun- 

 dice. The acid is really the antitoxine for this 

 disease. As soon as taken, drink from one to two 

 quarts of cider every day. It is the best, if not the 

 only, cure in the world. 



One thing more : Out of new cider may be made 

 a beautiful cider wine. Get pure new cider. If 

 you buy it of a peddler, it may be adulterated with 

 water. Take a barrel, 32 gallons, of the pure 

 apple juice. Let it work one week. Then rack it 

 off. Rinse the barrel. As you put the cider back 

 into the barrel, mix with it forty-five pounds of 

 sugar and three dozen eggs well beaten. The mix- 

 ture will work powerfully. Keep the barrel full 

 with new cider not a drop of water. It will 

 work about four months. When it becomes quiet, 

 draw it off again. Rinse the barrel. Put the 

 wine back into the barrel, and bung airtight. It 

 will keep indefinitely, and grow better with age. 



Here you have a home-made, delicious and spar- 

 kling wine, containing about twenty per cent, of 

 alcohol. Taken in small quantities with meals, it 

 is appetizing and wholesome.
