White-Wine Whey

Let a pint of milk come to a boil; add half a gill of white-wine; allow the whole to come to a boil, and pour into a basin to cool. When the curd has settled, the whey is excellent for coughs and colds. Hop Tea. This is considered good as an appetizer and strengthener of the digestive organs. Take one-half ounce of hops, upon which is poured a quart of boiling water; let it stand fifteen minutes; strain, and give a small teacupful half an hour before breakfast.
