Crust-coffee is very nourishing. A very simple means of refreshing the nurse, and a valuable disinfectant, if the nature of the invalid’s complaint does not forbid it—that is seldom the case—is to put some, pure, fresh-ground coffee on a saucer, or other dish, and in the center place a very small piece of camphor-gum, and touch a match to it. As the gum burns, allow sufficient coffee to consume to per- yade the atmosphere with the aroma; it is wonderful in its invigorating effects. ~~ vi Wh ca, peal Soa Maly ge abe Sst Ma a Pi dee eat ne me .

ROOD FOR THE SICK. 417 The following recipe makes a delicious, refreshing and cooling wash for the sick-room: oy Take of rosemary, wormwood, lavender, rue, sage and mint a large hand- ful of each. Place in a stone jar, and turn over it one gallon of strong cider vinegar, cover closely, and keep near the fire for four days; then strain, and add one ounce of pounded camphor-gum. Bottle and keep tightly corked. There is a French legend connected with this preparation (called vinaigre a quatre voleurs). During the plague at Marseilles, a band of robbers plun- dered the dying and the dead without injury to themselves. They were im- prisoned, tried and.condemned to die, but were pardoned on condition of disclosing the secret whereby they could ransack houses infected with the terrible scourge. They gave the above recipe. Another mode of using it, is to wash the face and hands with it before exposing one’s self to any infec- tion. It is very aromatic and refreshing in the sick-room; so, if it can ac- complish nothing more, it is of great value to nurses. ' FOOD FOR THE SICK.
