Three teacupfuls of coarse, clean wheat-bran, three of sifted flour, one heaping teaspoonful of cream-tartar, one-half of soda, one of salt, seven of sweet butter. Mix with cold milk, and roll into thin biscuit; and bake thoroughly in a moderately hot oven. They should be from one fourtb to one-third of an inch thick, and be cut with a small biscuit-cutter.

Great care must be taken that they do not burn, and at the same time that they get thoroughly baked. They will keep a long time if kept in a tight tin box; and they should be eaten at each meal. - From Mr. Leonard Scott, after twenty years' experience.

Cure, No. 2

Drinking a glass of cold water at night and in the morning helps many persons. Eating fruit is also good. 214

Persons having this trouble should eat vegetables, meats, hominy, oatmeal, and coarse breads. They should also take a great deal of exercise.
