One suffering from pimples should- ea£ liberally of watercress. There is no better blood purifier. Watercress iB rich ib iron, and is very good for those who are in- y clined to be anaemic. To alleviate burns, place immediately oa the injured part equal parts of lime-water and linseed oil. This mixture takes away all redness and the blisters which inT»riably attend burns. . To relieve a sprain, wormwood' boiled in. vinegar and applied as hot as can be borne on a sprain or bruise is- an invaluable remedy. The affected member should afterwards be roiled in flannel to retain the h«ai. . When palpitation is very troublesome take eight drops of oil of carraway_ on a. little lump sugar, and use the stairs or steps as little as possible. Also a drink of coid water, or, better still, soda-water, with a good pinch of salt m it is a very good thing. .

Place in a wide-necked jar, add three tablespoonfuls of castor sugar, cover loosely, and keep in a warm place for about 36 hours. During this time the vessel must be shaken frequently. This liquid undergoes a partial fermentation, and is a fair substitute for koumiss.
