And caused many to suffer with

The devil that you serve so well.
When he comes with hisdemons

And hind you in theregionsofhell.

And see the great need of salva

For the soul of so many that die.

Few people realizethe value
of lemons, which can not be
overe* mated; in casts 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
coiTec will relieve a bilious
bcadache.
3. Thejuice of half a lemon
in a cup of hot water taken
on awakening in the morning
IS an excellent liver cori’ective
nnd successful substitute for
calomel and other alterative
drugs.
4 A dash of lemon juice in
plain water makes a cleans
ing tooth ’wash, not only re
moving the tartar, but sweet
ening the breath.
5. A lotion of lemon juice
and rose water will remove
can and whiten the skin.
6. Lemon juice and olive
oil is far superior to vinegar
I'oT' a salad dressing—equal
parts used loi blending.
7. Lemon juice and loaf
sugar is good for hoarseness.
8. Outward applications
of the juice allays irritation
caused by insfct bites.
9. Refreshiogdrink is raatje
by adding a freshly.beaten
egg to lemonade, and,
10. The samcuiixturc when
frozen makes a delicious ice.
11. If when boiling sago or
rice a teaspoonful of lemon
juice is added, the kernels will
be white and a delicate flavor
is imparted.
12. An old fashioned reme
dy for croup, we remember, is
honey, alum and lemon juice.
13. We all know the value
of salt and lemon juice for re-
movingrustfitainsfrora white
goods.
14. After the juice is ex-
