When chilled and negative, or under the weather v/ith
a suggestion of foreign vibrations not in harmony with
perfect health, take a tablespoon ful of olive oil, two table-
spoonfuls of old wine, stir well; three pinches of salt and
one cupful of boiling water stirred in slowly, and sip.
There are carrots, turnips, beets and parsnips plenty
and galore to make nice salads from. With anise, celery
seeds and caraway or dill these salads always fill the bill.
Green pai;sley and some onions will the dish improve, and

adding peppers, green or red, the bowels will move. Snch
salads always the menu precede, so that if not in want of
food all other dishes may not nurse our greed. That is
the proper way to start a meal, as then you never wish
for a great deal. A little soup, a piece of bread, or an
entree of simple fare will all sufficiency to you declare.
The ordinary man requires four quarts of liquids a day
to keep well, which he receives thru his food and the drinks
that go with his meals. If he craves for liquids besides
those already consum.ed then it is because his dishes are
spiced and seasoned too heavily as well as wrongly com-
pounded, and do not suit his temperament and constitution.
When craving water use lemon juice in small quantities
quite frequently and until all taste for water is gone.
But correct your methods of living, as therein lies the secret
that points out the road to good health.
Grated apples with cream can be eaten even by those
who are acidulous. A dash of nutmeg, cinnamon or mace
will help to eliminate the acid.
The most wholesome cereal dish is freshly ground wheat,
sprinkled in boiling water and allowed to boil slowly,
while stirring, for ten minutes. A little batter or cream
will improve the taste. May also be eaten with nuts,
honey and fruit juices.
In case of colds or coughs, eat nothing for a day, and
when hungry take three pieces of loaf sugar, put in oven
to brown, and nibble while hot. Before retiring take the
juice of a large raw onion. If not agreeable, slice the
onion and over each layer spread a little sugar. Let stand
for half an hour and sip the juice slowly. Next day eat
a grated apple with fresh cream and a soft-boiled egg.
Eat fresh apples rather than the diverse dried fruits,
and pumpkins and squash where fruits disagree.
As long as grapes will keep, resort to them instead of
grape juice.
198
In colds, influenza, malaria, coughs and chest troubles
take the juice of one lemon beaten with one tablespoonful
of grape brandy and two tablespoonsful of sah. Imme-
diately after take one cupful of light jaborandi tea or
seven to ten drops of tincture of jaborandi to one cupful
of hot water and retire to a very clean bed.
