General Notes. 
THE VALUE OF LEMONS. 
Atwars keep lemons in the house, as they are sure to be in demand for more 
Perpores than one, and are very healthful. It is claimed where a large quantity 
=~ emons are purchased, and there is fear of their not keeping till wanted for 
; e, that if they are placed in a jar, covered with clear water, and the water 
ee anged every day, they will keep as long as desired, and are as fresh when 
‘moved from the jar as when first purchased. 
taken 1re are few things as efficacious for breaking up a cold as hot lemonade, 
€n Just before bed-time. It is best, to render this more effective, to bathe 
7 ge of the patient in hot water and mustard, just before retiring, then give 
Sr emonade to drink. Put the patient to bed almost immediately, there to 
s lain well covered until morning, when, unless there is something more 
Tous than a cold, the latter will have almost wholly disappeared. 
stig To make good lemonade, take a goblet of hot water, and into it squeeze the 
tate of one good-sized lemon, and sweeten to taste. This makes a strong 
; spite and may not be fancied by some; but it is one of this kind that will 
ae © most good when used as a medicine. For a cough, roasted or baked 
ate 18 good. Put a good-sized lemon in the oven, and let iv remain until 
queer which will be when the whole is very soft; then take out and add a 
keeping of sugar to make athick syrup. Take a teaspoonful of this frequently, 
hey e it warm, and, unless in a very obstinate case, it will effect a cure in a 
ime,
