Take this on going to bed ; repeat it every second or third night, and keep the bowels gently open. It is good to wash the face with warm water.

PINE APPLE CREAM. — Take about 10 ozs. of pine apple jam. Put a quart of cream into another basin, with the juice of a large lemon ; whisk to a strong froth; mix this with the jam, stirring well, Mix with it, at the same time, a little isinglass dissolved in a little warm milk and water.
