Now is your time to eradicate rheumatic and all diseases of the kidneys and the bladder by taking long walks in the morning and a sun bath before the noon hour. Eat green peas, beans, corn, carrots and potatoes. Use all the savories of the season. Take a handful of plantin leaves ; bruise them ; pour one pint of hot water upon them (rain water preferable) ; let it stand all day and at night use this with three to four quarts of hot water in your colon-flushing. After the flushing inject two tablespoonfuls of pure almond oil. Rectal troubles as well as complications of the intestines will be eliminated thru this treatment. New, small potatoes boiled in their skins and eaten with clabber will be beneficial even to an invalid. Grated raw beets, turnips and carrots, seasoned with lemon juice or rhubarb juice, are in order and will prove a cooling food. Any kind of fruit with bread and a glass of buttermilk or lemon milk will make a delicious dish. Lemon milk is made by gradually beating the juice of one lemon into a bowl of sweet milk. We use the egg beater in this case very successfully. When your little ones ail or show symptoms of laziness it is because they are robbed of opportunities to express freedom of thought and action. Go out with them into the fields and set unto them an example which they will soon follow. That is by far better and serving the Lord more intelligently than to confine them to the musty Sunday-school room and sit in a pew, entertaining all kinds of ideas but those approaching heaven. Walk along the still waters of the pond or the roaring flow of torrents and let Nature wash away the accumulations of waste from your feet. Then let the soft and gentle breezes of the air and the ever-searching rays of sunlight breathe the perfume of liberty upon your feet. While yet contemplating turn to your lunch basket, take from it your little crust of bread and spread upon it cottage cheese, mixed with finely cut chives, onion tops, parsley, green tansy, watercress and wild mustard leaves, with additional cream. People suffering from indigestion, dyspepsia, rheumatism and constipation should eat no bread or cereals, no cheese or potatoes this month. Use plenty of raw foods as Nature ofifers them. Cucumbers, but not cucumber salads, will prove of great value. Raspberries should not be fed to children except as jams. Now is your time to get rid of all those bunions and frost boils by wearing sandals and at night bathing your feet in hot water, then applying raspberry juice to those blemishes. Like magic these boils will disappear. AUGUST. Watermelon will drive out epilepsy and yellow fever. Well ripened gooseberries will prove an excellent liver tonic. Do not mix with other fruit at same meal, and do not use buttermilk with them. Hot peppers are in order for consumptives, and all those suffering from bronchial and membranous troubles. Care must be taken that the bowels are kept open. Water should not be used unless made into a drink by using a cupful of bran to. every quart of water, well stirred, and allowed to stand for at least one-half hour. Abstain from water. When thirsty and desirous of a cooling drink take lemon, grape or orange juice, two tablespoonfuls to every glass of water.
