_Lavender._

It is very much to be regretted that the nerve-soothing vegetable
perfumes of our grandmothers have been superseded, for the most part, by
the cheap mineral products of the laboratory. Scents really prepared
from the flowers that give them their names are expensive to make, and
consequently high-priced. The cheap scents are all mineral concoctions,
and their use is more or less injurious. A penny-worth of dried lavender
flowers in a muslin bag is even cheaper to buy, inoffensive to
smell–which is more than can be said of cheap manufactured scents–and
possesses medicinal properties.

Lavender flowers were formerly used for their curative virtues in all
disorders of the head and nerves.

An oil, prepared by infusing the crushed lavender flowers in olive oil,
is recommended for anointing palsied limbs, and at one time a spirit was
prepared from lavender flowers which was known as “palsy drops.”

A tea made with hot water and lavender tops will relieve the headache
that comes from fatigue.

Dr. Fernie advises 1 dessertspoonful per day of pure lavender water for
eczema.

The scent of lavender will keep away flies, fleas, and moths.

_Orange._

The orange possesses most of the virtues of the lemon, but in a modified
form. But it has the advantage of being more palatable.

The juice of oranges has been observed to exert such a beneficial
influence on the blood as to prevent and cure influenza. Taken freely
while the attack is on they seemingly prevent the pneumonia that so
often follows. By far the quickest way to overcome influenza is to
subsist solely on oranges for three or four days. Hot distilled water
may be taken in addition.

The peel of the bitter Seville orange is an excellent tonic and remedy
in cases of malaria and ague. A drink may be prepared from it according
to the prescription under the heading “Lemon.”

The “orange cure” is used with great success for consumptive patients,
for chest affections of all kinds, for asthma, and some stomach
complaints. Oranges are taken freely at every meal. The “navel” kind are
generally used.

Herbalists sell dried orange pips to be crushed to a powder and taken in
the proportion of 1 teaspoonful to a cup of hot water. This is a
harmless sedative, and useful in hysterical affections.

_Marmalade Tonic._

A drink made with half a pint of hot water poured over a tablespoonful
of good, home-made marmalade will often give relief in cases of
neuralgia and pains in the head.

_Thyme._

The common garden thyme, used for flavouring, is credited with many
virtues. It is said to inspire courage and enliven the spirits, and for
this reason should be taken by melancholy persons. It is good against
nervous headache, flatulence, and hysterical affections. It is
antiseptic.
