Yet come to fruit, and the case is entirely different. To the question which is the finest fruit there can be but one reply—the lemon. Of all fruits the lemon is man’s best friend, declares “T.C.8.” in the Daily Mail. Ask the cook, the confectioner, the doctor, chemist, the manufacturer, or even the bar-tender. From all you will got the same reply The lemon is a medicine chest in itself, and there is no other fruit which is valuable in so many different ailments. The juice is of great use in diphtheria and gout, is an antidote against diabetes, and is regularly prescribed in cases of rheumatoid arthritis ■ Pure lemon drinks, cold, are good for biliousness, and hot for chills or coughs. Lemon drinks can also ho used with advantage for rinsing the mouth and throat. A few drops in a glass of cold water are excellent for strengthening the eyesight, while the raw juice is almost a specific for chilblains. If everyone took pure lemon drinks first thing in the morning instead of early tea the health of the nation would soon show a marked improvement. , It should always be remembered _ that it was lemon whirii saved the lives of thousands flf British seamen during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries from that awful scourge, scurvy. Lemon in one form or another is an ingredient of almost every cooling and refreshing drink known to man, and combines to perfection with whisky, brandy, gin, and other alcoholic drinks. The rind of the lemon is almost as valuable as the juice, for from it we get tho oil of lemon so much used in cookery. The peel is used raw by all cooks, and is also candied for use in cakes. Most of Britain’s lemons _ come from Sicily, the first fruit arriving in November. W’o also get, lemon's from Murcia and Malaga. London alone receives over 700,000 boxes of lemons each year, these boxes each containing between 300 and 400 fruit. Tho lemon 'tree has the peculiarity of bearintr almost all the year round, so that* you may see upon it at one and the same time flowers, miniature green fruit, and fruit that is fully ripe. The pure lemon beverages manufactured in this city have helped to a great extent to make *his fruit famous in Otago. IHE FINEST FRUIT.
