WHAT DR, LEMON WILL DO.
Do you want to know the name of one of tho beat all-round household doctors, and certainly the cheapest that can be found in any country ? It is Dr. ! emon. Yes, an ordinary, sour, yellow lemon. Here are some of the things Dr. Lemon will do for you if you give him a chance : — Squeeze him into a glass of water every morning and drink him with very little sugar. He will keep your stomach in tbe best of order, and never let Mr Dyspepsia, whom he hates cordially, get into it. If you have dark hair and it seems to be falling out, cut off a slice of the doctor and put him on your scalp He will stop that little trouble promptly. Squeeze him into an equal quantity of glycerine, and rub your hands with the mixtute before going to bed. If you don't mind sleeping with gloves on that is better still, and helps the doctor considerably in his task of whitening ynur hands. In the morning wash your hands thoroughly in warm water and apply the doctor pure, but only a few drops of him this time. You must not keep this up too long, or your hands will show such a dazzling whitenees as to make all the other young ladies in the vicinity jealous. If you have a bad headache, cut Dr. Lemon into slices and rub these along your temples. Ths pain will not be long in disappearing—or at le<ut, in growing easier to bear. If a bee or an insect stiugs you, clap a few dropa of the doctor on to the spot, and you will find yourself the better for it. Besides all this the doctor is always ready to sacrifice himself in the cause of Russian tea—slice him without sugar—or in the preparation of old-fashioned lemonade, than which no drink is more wholesome. Altogether Dr. Lemon is an individual few people can afford to get along without.
