LIME WATER.

Take a piece of fresh, unslaked lime, about the size of a walnut. Pour over it two quarts of hot water. When it is slaked, which will occur in a few minutes, stir thoroughly, then allow to stand over night, pouring off all the liquid in a perfectly clear state, and bottle. The addition of more lime is not necessary, because the above will give a saturated solution. Lime water is usually administered in milk for the purpose of neutralizing the effects of an acid stomach. About a teaspoonful or a tablespoon- ful of lime water to a half pint of milk is the usual formula.
