Dr. Fernie recommends lemon juice for nervous palpitation of the heart.

Lemon juice rubbed on to corns will eventually do away with them, and if
applied to unbroken chilblains will effect a cure.

Lemon juice is also an old remedy for the removal of freckles and
blackheads from the face. It should be rubbed in at bedtime, after
washing with warm water.


_Lettuce._

Lettuce is noted for its sedative properties, although these are not
great in the large, highly-manured, commercial specimens. It is very
easily digested, and may, therefore, be eaten by those with whom salads
disagree in the ordinary way.
