    have a most beneficial action upon the digestive organs. This lozenge is manufac¬ tured from the juice obtained direct from the plant and specially pre¬ pared for us, and it will be found to give as good results as the fruit itself. One lozenge should be allowed to slowly dissolve in the mouth after each meal. It acts beneficially when the kidneys are out of order. It is also useful for young children who reject their food, as it prevents it from turning sour. CHAULMUGRA OTL. The pip of the orange-shaped fruit of Gyuocardia Odcrcita, a forest tree growdng in India, yields this wonderful oil, that has been used from time im¬ memorial on the battle-fields of India, and also by all the medicine doctors in China, Mongolia, Siberia, and Egypt. This pure oil will cure the worst cases of rheu¬ matism when properly imbibed. Always take it, or apply it, when the stomach is not empty, but full, or else it will probably produce sickness. Many people who desire a rapid result take as much as a teaspoonful of the oil at a time, some¬ times with a little brandy. In very bad cases of rheumatism I have often known poor men out at work again in four days. If the oil cannot be tolerated, owing to its smell (and yet it is known that beneficial results will follow on its being used), the oil can be wrarmed and rubbed on to the stomach. It is important that plenty of underdone meat should be eaten, and it is also well to take some good wine, Port or Burgundy, for this oil produces great appetite and improvement in spirits, if only the prejudice against the smell can be over¬ come. /-\ PAPAW.
