ONIONS AND HEALTH.
A scientific contemporary, harshly ignoring all the bliss which is popularly supposed to be connected with the “ sweet breath of love’s sweet kiss,” recommends the free use of onions. The writer says : Lung and liver complaints arc certainly benefited, often cured, by a free consumption of onions, either cooked or raw. Colds yield to them like magic. Don’t be afraid of them. Taken at night, all offence will bo wanting by morning, and the good effects will amply compensate for the trifling annoyance. Taken regularly they greatly promote the health of the lungs and the digestive organs. An extract made by boiling down the juice of onions to a syrup, and taken as a medicine, answers the purpose very well, but fried, roasted or boiled onions are better. Onions are a very cheap medicine, within everybody’s reach, and the} 7 arc not by any means as “ bad to take ” as the costly nostrums a neglect of their use may necessitate.
