MEDICINAL VALUE OF LEMONS.

" While you are giving people simple rules for preserving their health, why don't you tell them about the use of lemons V an intelligent professional man asked me the other day: He went on to say that he had long been tronbled with an inactive liver, which gave him a world of pain and trouble, until recently he was advised

by a friend to! take a glass of hot water, with tho juco of a lemon squeezed into it, but no sugar, night and morning, and see what the effect would be. He tried it and found himself better almost immediately. .His daily headaches, which medicine had failed to cure, left him, his appetite improved, and he gained several pounds in weight within a f«w weeks. After a while he omitted the drink, either at mght or in tho moruing, and npw at times does without either of them. "lam satisfied iroui experiment," said he, "that there is no better medicine for persons who aie troubled with bilious and liver complaints than the simple remedy I have given, which is far more efficacious than quinine or any other drug, while it is devoid of their injurious consequences. It excites tho liver, stimulates the digestive organs, and tones up the system generally. It is not unpleasant to take, either ; iudeed one soon gets used to liking it." — Chicago Journal.
