A correspondent furnishes the fol-
lowing receipt as a new cure for lung
trouble: "Put a dozen whole lemons
in cold water and boil until soft (not,
too soft), roll and squeeze until all the
juice is extracted, sweeten the juice
enough to be palatable, and drink.
Use as many lista dozen a day. Should
they cause pain or looseness of the
bowels, lessen the quantity, and use
five or six a day until better, then be-
gin and use a dozen again. By the
time you have used five or six dozen
you will begin to gain strength and
have an appetite. Of course ars you
get better, you need not use so many.
Follow these directions and we know
you will never regret it if there is any
help for_ you. Only keep it up faith-
fully. We know of two cases where
both the patients were given up by the
physicians, and were in the last stages
of consumption yet both were cured
by using letnons according to direc-

Hicks' Forecasts for December.
A reactionary storm period is cent-
ral on the 27th, 28th and 20th. The
general cold leading into these days
will partially break up, the high ha
rometer will relax into lower pressure
and renewed squalls of rain, snow 9.nd
wind will visit many sections of the
country in their progressive sweep
frotn west to east, on and touching the
27th, 28th and 211th. These storms
promise to be moderate in comparison
with those of the preceding period,
due in such force, especially over the
northeast part of the United States,
Canada and the Atlantic Ocean, as to
cause risk to shipping and discomfort
to man and beast. High barometer
and much colder will close December
in most parts of our country.
