Infusion of Roses

Infuse a quarter of an ounce of red rose-leaves in half a pint of boiling water for ten minutes; decant, sweeten with honey, and drink cold—fasting. This drink recommends itself by its efficacy in diminishing—if not entirely removing—certain cases of debility common to females. The conserve of roses is much used on the Continent, in the successful treatment of pulmonary diseases.
