Chamomile Tea as a Strengthener

Use one pint of boiling water to about thirty chamomile flowers. Steep, strain, sweeten with honey or sugar, and drink a cupful half an hour before breakfast, to promote digestion and restore the action of the liver. A teacupful of the tea, in which has been stirred a full dessert-spoonful of sugar and a very little ginger, is an excellent tonic and stimulant for an old person, taken two hours before dinner.
