THINGS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW
FIFTEEN USES OF A LEMON.
Few people realize the value of lemons, which cannot be
overestimated; in cases of fever, sore throat or torpid liver
the medicinal qualities are excellent.
1. Two or three slices of lemon in a cup of strong tea will
cure a nervous headache.
2. A teaspoonful of lemon juice in a small cup of black
coffee will relieve a bilious headache.
3. The juice of half a lemon in a cup of hot water taken
on awakening in the morning is an excellent liver corrective
and successful substitute for calomel and other alterative
drugs.
4. A dash of lemon juice in plain water makes a cleansing
tooth wash, not only removing the tartar, but sweetening the
breath.
5. A lotion of lemon-juice and rose-water will remove tan
and whiten the skin.
6. Lemon juice and olive oil is far superior to vinegar
for a salad dressing — equal parts used for blending.
7. Lemon juice and loaf sugar is good for hoarseness.
8. Outward applications of the juice allay irritation
caused by insect bites.
9. A refreshing drink is made by adding a fresh-beaten
egg to lemonade, and
10. The same mixture when frozen makes a delicious ice.
11. If when boiling sago or rice a teaspoon of lemon-juice
is added the kernels will be whiter and a delicate flavor is
imparted.
12. An old-fashioned remedy for croup, we remember, is
honey, alum and lemon juice.

moving rust stains from white ffoods.
