glazed or enamelled vessel,* until the liquid is reduced to 

 one-third. Then allow the whole to stand exposed to the 

 air for a whole night ; and early next morning strain and 

 squeeze the whole, and give it, all in one dose, to the patient 

 on an empty stomach. In bad cases, it is better to give a 

 similar dose again in the middle of the day. In that case, 

 double the above quantity should be prepared every day. 

 This remedy should be continued until the patient is quite 

 well. Instead of one lemon, you can use three limes similarly 

 treated, or half a large khatta orange, or Kumaon lemon, or 

 a Seville orange, or any similar quantity of any sour citrus. 



For intermittent fever, weakness, and cachexia after 

 intermittent fever, or for enlarged spleen of recent standing, 

 this decoction of lemon is very useful. For enlarged spleen 

 it is only equalled in my opinion by Fluoride of Ammonium.

Split the Seville oranges in quarters ; use a sharp knife to 

 cut out the fruity pulp from each quarter, without any of the 

 white pith left on it ; and, as this is effected, pick out all 

 the pips, and put the fruity portion in a basin, and the 

 quarters of the peel into a large pan containing water. 

 When this is completed, boil the quarters of peel in water 

 until they are soft to the touch ; they must be then drained 

 and put to soak in cold water for twelve hours ; they are 

 then to be again drained on sieves (or any basket work) for 

 two hours at least, to rid them of all unnecessary moisture ; 

 -after which, they must be cut up in thin shreds by means of 

 a sharp knife. Next, weigh the shreds and also the pulp, 

 placed in reserve in a basin. For every pound of the total 

 weight, allow three-quarters of a pound of white crystalline 

 sugar (Cossipore crystalline sugar is the best, being totally 



* Metallic vessels are objectionable for boiling acids in. Common 

 earthen vessels, without glaze, would absorb much of the liquid. In 

 Agra they make cheap glazed saucepans, much used by Mahomedans.
