USE OF LEMONS

THEY WILL CLEAR YOUR SKIN. Dietitians tell us that lemons contain quantities of vitamin C, and that if we -wsire good health our systems must absorb this vitamin. And in what more pleasant manner ; can this be accomplished than by means of lemon drinks. They are cooling to the blood, they help the kidneys throw poisons from the body, they have a most excellent action on the liver, and they will keep our skin free from minor blemishes. If the lemon drink is a trifle sour, do not add sugar for sweetening purposes, as some doctors have the belief that this helps to destroy some of the benefit which it is desired to obtain. A better sweetening method is by the addition of one or two teaspoons of honey. First place the honey in a glass and dissolve it with a little warm water, then add the. juice of one or ,two lemons, fill the glass with water, and sip slowly. If this lemon drink is taken each morning it will be found to be most energising and skin-clearing. And, in spite of the popular belief that lemons thin the blood, doctors state that this is not the case, and that nothing but good can ensue from the daily lemon drink.
