LEMONADE FOR AN INVALID.

466. Squeeze the juice out of a fine lemon, pour over it as much boiling water as will make it palatable, and add sugar to the taste. Stand it away to cool; when cold it will be found quite as good as that made with cold water, and is generally preferred by physicians, as the boiling water destroys the unhealthy qualities of the lemon.
