mix the juice of one good lemon with one pound of honey, 
stir thoroughly, and take of this one or two teaspoonsful 
frequently in connection with the following soothing and 
always beneficial treatment. At night, upon retiring to 
rest, fold a large linen handkerchief, and wring it out of 
tepid water ; lay this right round the throat, and over that 
several folds of dry flannel. The latter keeps up internal 
warmth and materially assists in the speedy restoration of 
a normal condition of the throat. Do not remove the 
throat packing until rising, and then wash thoroughly with 
soap and water, cold by preference, but tepid if the person 
has a weak constitution. 
For Bronchitis in Adults, 
and in serious cases of night coughing, take the lemon 
honey night and day, and upon retiring to rest procure a 
jug holding about two quarts of boiling water. Sit up in 
bed and inhale the steam with the mouth open, continuing 
for ten or fifteen minutes, according to the strength of the 
patient, who must at the time be completely covered with 
a blanket, or mackintosh sheet by preference, that the 
steam may be retained. Wipe dry after, and lie down; 
repeating the process each night until relieved. Use the 
wet pack for the throat if that is troublesome. 
For Influenza ; Bronchitis in Children ; 
for severe cold, on the lungs especially, the supplementary 
treatment should be:—Bran poultices on back and chest, 
put on not too hot, and changed every twelve hours for the 
first day or two; then use them only each night. It is 
imperative that several folds of dry flannel be wound
