Rightly prepared can be used to great advantage in dis-
orders of the digestive organs, particularly the liver and
where there is starch poisoning. But the secret lies in
the preparation. Select medium-sized green cucumbers.
Wash each one of them and rub dry. Slip them gently
into a tub of boiling hot brine and leave them in for two
to three hours or until cold. (The brine must be heavy
enough that a raw egg will keep on top the water.) Now
put up the cucumbers in an earthenware crock or an old
whisky barrel, layer upon layer, starting with a layer ot
grape leaves, dill, then cucumbers, and so on, ending up
on top with a layer of grape leaves and dill. Bring the
same salt brine to a boil✪ Dill Pickles again. When ice cold pour into
the vessel filled with cucumbers. When filled to the very
top, place a porcelain or an earthenware lid on inside of
vessel and a heavy rock so as to keep contents tight
and to keep the scum which will form from touching the
pickles. Whenever scum forms it should be skimmed.
Vessel must be kept in a cool, dry, dark place. Properly
done, the dill pickles are ready for use in ten days. The
brine is used effectively in cases of constipation.
Dill pickles are of advantage to the physically based
during the cold season. May be used frequently. Where
used in excess mustard cucumbers must be used to
counteract organic disorders.
MUSTARD CUCUMBERS.
Select yellow, ripe cucumbers of a fair size. Peel them.
Cut crosswise into four to six strips each. Take out all
194
the seeds. Place them in layers and salt them well.
Leave them stand over night for eight to ten hours.
Take them out one by one and dry them with a scrup-
ulously clean towel. When thoroly dried place them in
earthenware crock in layers. Over each layer sprinkle
quite freely, but not too much, whole mustard seeds and
two bay leaves. When done bring to a boil selected fine
grape vinegar, just enough to cover the contents of crock.
Add to each pint of vinegar one tablespoonful of sugar,
four sticks of cinnamon, eight cloves✪ Mustard Cucumbers. Remove cinnamon
and cloves from vinegar before pouring on the contents
of the crock. A porcelain plate on top of the contents and
a clean cloth or heavy paper over top will suffice to keep
the mustard cucumbers wholesome. Can be put up in
glass jars. A few thin sliced onions, Bermudas and
Spanish, over each layer of cucumbers will add to the
relish.
Mustard relish may be used to an advantage by the
three bases, depending entirely upon the condition of the
trouble.
TEA FOR INVALIDS.
The intellectually based should use Japanese garden and
green tea, first picking.
The spiritually based Chinese or Oolong and Russian
tea.
The physically based will find India, Ceylon, Congou
and Souchong tea the better.
When out of sorts or under the weather, nervous or
negative, chew a pinch of tea leaves. When reduced to
a pulpy consistency expel. In case the pulp tastes weedy,
mousy and biting, it is because the tea is tainted and not
as represented. Use only selected teas for medicinal pur-
poses. Must be used without cream or sugar. Can be
used with lemon and rum, arac, or Cognac.
MILK DIET
Will be found of great aid in restoring organic disorders.
To gain good results one must abstain from all foods and
confine himself to one glass of milk every two hours,
