WATER-CRESSES.

Water-cresses act as a gentle stimulant and diuretic; for these

purposes the expressed juice, which contains the peculiar taste and

pungency of the herb, may be taken in doses of an ounce or two, and

continued for a considerable time. It should be at the same time

eaten at breakfast, also at dinner, and for supper, to experience

benefit from the virtues of this herb.
