CHAPTER XXIII.
DIETETICS.
In what thou eatest and drinkest, seek from thence
Due nourishment, not gluttonous delight,
So mayest thou live, till, like ripe fruit, thou drop
Into thy mother’s lap; or be with ease
Gathered, not harshly plucked; for death mature.
—Milton.
DRINKS FOR THE SICK.
LEMONADE.
Juice of half a lemon, one tea-spoon white sugar, one goblet water. Grate into it a little peel if desired.
