54 CITRUS LIMONUM 



by Dr. Owen Rees as a remedy in acute rheumatism, and has 

 been highly spoken of by many practitioners in this disease, but, 

 according to Garrod, there is " as yet no good clinical evidence 

 proving its value in this disease. Many patients with acute 

 rheumatism recover pretty rapidly when taking lemon juice, but 

 many get well equally soon when taking coloured water/'
