An Article of True Merit. Brown’s Bronchial Troches are the most popular article in this country or Europe tor Throat Diseases anu Coughs, and this popularity is based upon real merit, which cannot he said of many other preparations in the market which are really but weak imitations of the genuine Troches. 6 A BOM TOM MERCHANT, Having passed several sleepless nights, disturbed by the agonies and cries of a suffering child, and becoming convinced that MRS. WINSLOW’S SOOTHING SYRUP was just the article needed, procured a supply for the child. On reaching home and acquainting Iris wife with what he had done, sne refused to have it administered to the child, as she was strongly in favor of Homoeopathy. That night the child passed in suffering and the parents without sleep. Returning home the day following, the father found the baby still worse, and while contemplating another sleepless night, the mother stepped from the room to attend to some domestic duties, and left the father with the child. During her absence he administered a portion ef the Soothing Syrup to the baby, and said nothing. That night all hands slept well, and the little fellow awoke in the morning bright and happy. The mother was delighted with the sudden and wonderful change, and although at first offended at the deception practiced upon her, has con- tinued to use the Syrup, and suffering crying babies and restless nights have disappeared. A single trial of the Syrup never yet failed to relieve the baby, and overcome the prejudices of the mother. Sold by all druggists. 8 PUDDINGS AND PIES. IRISH POTATO PIE.

From the Medical Director of tho General Hospital, Benton Barracks, near St. Louis, March 8, 1862. “ Messrs. John I. Brown & Son, Boston, Mass :—Use of your far-famed and most serviceable 1 Troches ’ is being made in the hospital of whieli I have charge, and with very beneficial and decided results in allaying bronchial irritation.” CURRANT AND RASPBERRY TART. For a tart, line the dish, put sugar and fruit, lay bars across and bake. 10 PUDDINGS AND PIKS. Sure to Regulate the Bowels. Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing- SYRUP is the only thing that mothers can rely upon for their children. It corrects acidity of the stomach, regulates the bowels, and gives rest, health and comfort to mother and child. During the process of teething, its value is incalculable. It softens the gums, reduces inflammation, and allays all pain, thereby giving rest to the child, and comfort to the mother. CUSTARD FTE WITHOUT EGGS. Place a quantity of new milk, as much as desired, over a slow lire, and allow it to heat slowly until it boils, taking pains not to scorch it, as that imparts a disagreeable taste. For every quart of milk take four table- spoonfuls of flour, beat it well with cold milk to prevent it from being lumpy, and as soon as the milk boils, pour in the thickening, and stir it well until it boils again; then remove it instantly from the fire. Sweeten to suit t le taste, and flavor with nutmeg or cinnamon, and it is ready for use, either cold or hot. Prepare the crust as usual for custard pies, till them with the above preparation, and bake them an hour in an oven moderately hot. When sufficiently cooked, they will resemble, in appear- ance, a genuine egg pie, and will scarcely be distinguished by the taste. Custards may be made the same way, and if baked until the whey starts from them, they will be nearly equal to those pi-epared with eggs. Rice and other puddings may be made without eggs, by boiling and thicken- ing the milk in this way, and if they are well baked, will prove excellent. FRENCH TAPIOCA CUSTARD. Five dessert-spoons tapioca, one quart milk, one pint cold water, three eggs, one heaping cup sugar, one teaspoon vanilla, liotle salt. Souk the tapioca in the water live hours. Let the milk boil (in a farina kettle or in a kettle set into boiling water;) add the tapioca and water, and a little salt. Stir until boiling hot, then add the beaten yolks and Bugar. Stir this constantly about five m antes, but do not let it get too thick, or the custard will break. Pour into a bowl, and add the whites of the.eggs pre- viously beaten to a stiff froth ; stir them in gently. Flavor and set aside in a glass dish till cold. Serve with canned orbrandied fruits ; it is a very delicious dessert. A Neglected Cough, Cold, or Sore Throat, which might be checked by a simple remedy, like BROWN’S BRONCHIAL TROCHES, if allowed to progress may terminate seriously. For Bronchitis, Asthma, Catarrh, and Consumptive Coughs, the Troches are used with advantage, giving oftentimes immediate relief, fingers and public speakers will find them also excellent to clear the vc ice and render articulation won- derfully easy. RICE PUDDING. GOOD. One coffee cup rice, two quarts milk, eight tablespoons sugar, one tea- spoon salt. Let the rice souk in a pint of the milk two hours.

BROWN’S VERMIFUGE COMFITS, OR WORM LOZENGES. Much Sickness, undoubtedly, with Children and Adults, attributed to othor causes, is occasioned by worms. The “"VERMIFUGE COMFITS,” although effectual in destroying worms, can do no possible injury to the most delicate child. This valuable combination has been successfully used by physicians, and found to be safe and sure in eradicating worms, so hurtful to children. Children having worms require immediate attention, as neglect of the troublo often causes prolonged sickness. SYMPTOMS OF WORMS IN CHILDREN. The symptoms of Worms are quite obscure, except an intolerable itch- ing within tin anus, which generally indicates Pin-Worms. In Children Worms are in heated by paleness, itching of the nose, grinding of the tooth and -tart ing in sleep, irregular appetite, bad breath, swelled upper lip, picking of the nose, hard swelled stomach, and one cheek constantly flushed. The combination of ingredients used in making BROWN'S VERMIFUG-E COMFITS, is such as to give tbe best possible effect with safety. Messrs. John I. Brown & Sons, As I have used your “WORM COMFITS” in my practice for two yearn past with always good success, I have no hesitation in recommend- ing them as a very superior preparation for the purpose for which they arc intended. As I am aware they do not contain any mercury or other injurious substances, I consider them perfectly safe to administer even in the most delicate cases. AUVAH HOBBS, M.D. Boston, Jan. 27, 186-1. CHILDREN OFTEN LOOK PALE AND SICK from no other cause than having worms in the stomach. Brown's Vermifug-e Com- fits will destroy Worms without injury to the child, being perfectly WHITS, and free from all coloring or other injurious ingredients usually used in worm preparations.

It relieves the child ffcm pain, corrects aeidity and wind colic, and by giving the infant quiet natural sleep, gives rest to the mother. A WOOD SALAD. A correspondent of The. Gardener's Chronicle, says:—“Here is a salad that will delight those whs oat cucumber with bread and cheese : Take a tomato, not over-ripe, and cut it into slices, as you would a cucumber; take a small onion, and cur it up as fine as you can ; sprinkle it over the tomato slices, add salt, pepper and vinegar at discretion, and you will have a salad which, as a relish, puts the cucumber to shame. COi.D BOILED BEEF. Melt about three ounces butter, over a slow fire, into a tablespoonful of flour, and when they have simmered a little, add some chopped onion, and a dessert spoonful of shred parsley. When the whole is browned, season with pepper, and add half or three-fourths of a pint, of good stock or gravy; mince the meat finely, put it in with the rest, and let it heat gradually ; when near boiling, thicken with a small tablespooaful of flour, and just before serving, add a tablespoonful of catsup. TEAL CROQUETTES. Take very finely minced veal, moisten it with cream and a beaten egg ; season with salt, sweet marjoram and a little pounded mace; form in!o small cones either by hand or in a wine glass; crumb the outside and fry, or else set into the oven and bake, basting frequently. POTATO BALLS. Four large mealy potatoes, cold; mash them in a basin with two ounces of clarified fresh butter, a pinch of salt, a verjr little cayenne, a table- spoonful of milk or cream, and the beaten yolk of one egg; rub it to- gether in a mortar for five minutes, shape mixture into balls the size of a walnut—cover them with an egg well beaten, and the finest sifted bread- crumbs; fry them in boiling butter, lard, or bacon-fat—not dripping. WATERCRESS SALAD. Watercresses, as a salad, are best served simply w-ith a sauce of lemop juice and olive oil poured over them in a salad bowl; but, if preferred, may be served with the addition of a little grated horse-radish, sliced looks, and sliced hard-boiled eggs. Public Speakers and Sing-ers will find Brown's Bronchial TROCHES beneficial in clearing the voice before speaking or singing, and relieving the throat after any unusual exertion of the vocal organs, having a peculiar adaptation to affections which disturb the organs of speech. For Coughs and Colds the Troches are effectual. MISCELLANEOUS. TO REMOVE SPOTS FROM SILK. It is said that spots may be removed from silks by pouring a few drops of spirits of turpentine on the soiled parts. The spirit, on exhaling, takes off with it the oil that causes the spots; and grease may be extracted by scraping French chalk and putting on the soiled part, and then holding it near the fire or over a warm iron. The grease, by this process melts, and the French chalk absorbs it. Brush or rub off the chalk, and if the stain is not effectually removed, repeat the operation, if necessary. Ink cannot be removed from a light silk without applying chemicals that are apt to injure the texture and color of the silk. Brown’s Bronchial Troches, for Pulmonary and Asthmatic Disorders, have proved their efficacy by a test of many years, and have received testimonials from eminent men who have used them. Those who are suffering from Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Sore Throat, etc., should try THE TROCHES, a simple remedy which is in almost every case effectual. SCARLET FEVER AAD SHALL POX. Dr. W. Fields, of 'Wilmington, Del., says:—Having much experience in the cure of scarlet fever and small pox of the most malignant type, I -would thank you, for the sake of humanity, to publish a recipe, which, if faithfully carried out, will cure forty-five cases out of every fifty, without calling on a physician : Scarlet Fever.—For adults, give one tablespoonful of brewer’s yeast in three tablespoonfuls of sweetened water, three times a day ; and if the throat is much swollen, gargle with the yeast, and "apply the yeast to the throat as a poultice, mixed with Indian meal. Use plenty of catnip tea, to keep the eruption out on the skin for several days. Small Pox.—Use the above doses of yeast three times a day, and milk diet throughout the disease. Nearly every ease can be cured without leaving a pock mark. BED-BUG POISOX. One ounce of quicksilver beat up with the whites of two eggs, and put on with a feather, is the cleanest and surest method of destroying bed- bugs. What remains should be thrown away, as it is exceedingly poisonous. The Best and Surest Remedy in the World for all Diseases ■with -which children are afflicted during the process of teething, is MRS. WINSLOW’S SOOTHING SYRUP. It not only relieves the child from pain, but invigorates the stomach and bowels, cures wind colic, aDd by giving quiet sleep to the child, gives rest to the mother. 23 24 MISCELLANEOUS. Never-Failing: Success. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup is a certain remedy for all diseases with which children are afflicted during tho process of teething. It has stood the test of thirty years. Never known to fail. Gives rest to the mother and relief to the child. Cures wind colic and regulates the bowels. TO KILL WEEDS. Take one pound flour of sulphur and ten of quicklime, boil them in an iron vessel with water; let the liquor settle, draw off the clear part, dilute it according to circumstances, and with it water alleys and pavements where weeds are growing. They will not re-appear for several years after this treatment, which is successfully practiced in Europe. TO MAKE WASHING EAST. Take one-half pound of hard soap, cut fine an . dissolved, one-half pound of soda; dissolve each by itself, and when so done, put them to- gether and boil, adding one teaoupl'ul of strained lime-water. Put this in to boil the clothes. Boil them twenty minutes. This will serve several boilers full. The clothes must be previously soaked, and soap rubbed on the stained spots. You can wash the finest material with this ; and colored clothes boiled in this will not fade. MAKING HARD WATER SOFT. Put cold water to about four quarts of good, hard wood ashes and bring to a boil; then add more cold water, and let it settle ; pour this off, and add still more cold water to tho ashes ; the result should bo about a pail of good lye, which strain and pour into a barrel of water; let it stand over night, when there will be found a deposit in the bottom of the barrel, which should not be disturbed in dipping off the water. This water will be found to make a suds as readily as rain water, (if it does not, there is not sufficient lye,) and does not injure the clothes in the least; if tho lye is too strong, it may make the hands sore, but that will bo the only evil re- sult. A Slig-M Cold, Coughs. Few are aware of the Importance of checking a Cough or “ slight cold,” in its first stage; that which in the beginning would yield to a mild remedy, if neglected, soon attacks the lungs. BROWN'S BRONCHIAL TROCHES give sure and almost imme- diate relief. The Troches have proved their efficacy by a test of many years, and have received testimonials from eminent men who have used them. TO MAKE TOUGH BEEF TEN'DEB. To those who havo worn down their teeth masticating poor, old, tough cow beef, we will say that carbonate of soda will be found a remedy tor the evil. Cut your steaks the day before using into slices about two inches thick, rub them over with a small quantity of soda, wash off next morn- ing, cut it into suitable thicknesses, and cook to notion, the same process will answer for fowls, legs of mutton, etc. Try it, all who love delicious, tender dishes of meat. THE MOTHER’S MISSION. A great emperor once asked one of his noble subjects what would secure his country the first place among the nations of the earth. The noble- man’s grand reply was, “ Good mothers!” Now, what constitutes a good mother 1 The answer is conclusive: she who, regarding the future welfare of her child, seeks every available means that may offer to promote a sound physical development, to the end that her offspring may not be deficient in any single faculty with which nature has endowed it. In infancy there is no period which is more likely to affect the future disposition of the child than that of teething, producing, as it does, fretfulness, moroseness of mind, &c., which, if not cheeked, will manifest itself in after days. MRS. WINSLOW’S SOOTHING SYRUP is unquestionably one of the greatest remedial agents in existence, both for the prevention and cure of the alarming symptoms which so often manifest themselves during the teething period; such as griping in the bowels, wind-colic, convulsions, &c. It is also the best and surest remedy in the world in all cases of dysentery and diarrhoea in children, whether arising from teething, or from any other cause. A BEAUTIFUL SIMILE, “The poor wren, the most diminutive of birds, will fight for the young ones in her nest against the owl ”—and so will the doting mother fight against those fell diseases which threaten for a while to despoil her of the object of her love. Trying and critical indeed is the teething period, but relief is afforded by the timely use of MRS. WINSLOW’S SOOTHING SYRUP. All who have ever used it, are delighted with its operations, and speak in terms of commendation of its magical effects. It greatly facilitates the process of teething, by softening the gums and reducing all inflammation. It will allay all pain and spasmodic action, and is sure to regulate the bowels. Mothers may depend upon it. 26 MISCELLANEOUS. Physicians say that almost every Child i3 Troubled more or less by worms. They seem to be the. curse of infancy. But since the in- troduction of BROWN’S VERMIFUGE COMFITS or Worm Lozenges, there is no necessity for their annoying presence. Inquire of your druggist, and he will tell you they are the best. 25 cents a box. RESTORING DAMAGED VELVET. The Moniteur de la Salud publishes the following method of restoring velvet to its original condition. It is well known that when velvet lias been wet, not only its appearance is spoiled, hut it becomes hard and knotty. To restore its original softness, it must be thoroughly damped on the wrong side, and then held over a very hot iron, care being taken not to let it touch the latter. In a short time the velvet beeomes, as it were, new again. The theory of this is very simple. The heat of the iron evapo- rates the water through the tissue, and forces the vapor out at the upper side; this vapor, passing between the different fibres, separates those which adhere together in hard bunches. If the velvet wore ironed after damping, an exactly opposite result would be obtained. It is, therefore, n - cessary that the substance should not come in contact with the heated iron. WHEREVER THESE RECEIPT BOOKS ARE DISTRIBUTED, MRS. WINSLOW’S SOOTHING SYRUP, BROWN’S BRONCHIAL TROCHES, BROWN’S VERMIFUGE COMFITS, BROWN’S HOUSEHOLD PANACEA and Family Liniment, and BROWN’S Camphorated Saponaceous DENTIFRICE, Will be found in some store in the vicinity. TO TAKE INK STAINS OCT OE MAHOGAN^. Tut a few drops of spirits of nitre in a teaspoonful of water, touch the spot with a feather dipped in the mixture, and on the ink disappearing, rub it over immediately with a rag wetted in cold water, or there will be a white murk, which will not bo easily effaced. HOW TO FATTEN TURKEYS. Feed them'generously with Indian corn and potatoes, or what is better, with corn meal, mixed up with skim milk, and fed to them fresh; vary this with carrots and purple-topped turnips. Turkeys will fatten soon in this way. The hen will fatten easier, and is more tender than the cock. Turkeys lose about one-third in dressing; that is, a turkey that will weigh fifteen pounds alive, will weigh ten pounds when dressed. Where one is favorably located for raising turkeys, and is near a good market, the raising of them pays well. Colds and Coughs. Sudden Changes of Climate are Sources of Pulmonary and Bronchial affections. Experience having proved that simple remedies act speedily when taken in the early stage of disease, take at once BROWN'S BRONCHIAL TROCHES, let the Cold', Cough, or Irritation of the Throat be ever so slight, as by this precaution a more serious attack may bo warded oft-. MISCELLANEOUS. 27 If Life and Health can be Estimated by dollars and cents, MRS. WINSLOW’S SOOTHING SYRUP, ior all the diseases with which children are afflicted, is worth its weight in gold. It relieves the child from pain, invigorates the stomach and bowels, cures wind colic, and carries the infant safely through the critical period of toothing. TO MAKE YELLOW BITTER IN WINTER. Pnt in yolks of eggs just before the butter comes, near the termination of the churning. This has been repeatedly tried, and makes very fine sweet butter. It is kept by many as a groat secret, but its great value requires publicity. SAMP MAXHfG. Take a jack-plane, put one end In a milk pan or half bushel, with tho face up ; take an ear of corn in the right hand, holding tlxe plane with the left, and in five minutes you can prepare samp enough for a ineal, of the best kind, free from all grit or dirt. A FEW HINTS FOR HARD TIMES. Ruta Bagas, grated and prepared as you do cabbage, make an excellent substitute for that article. Pumpkin pies can be made without milk, by using w-ater instead, and we think they are as good as when made of milk. Custards can also be made with water, instead of milk, that will pass very well; also puddings, as the baked Indian pudding, by the addition of a little piece of butter. BOILING POTATOES. Not one housekeeper out of ten knows how to boil potatoes properly. Here is an Irish method, one of the best we know of, Clean wasii the potatoes and leave the skin on; then bring the water to a boil and throw them in. As soon as boiled soft enough for a fork to be easily tlirust through them,, flash some cold water into the pot, let the potatoes remain two minutes, and then pour off the water. This done, half remove the pot lid, and let the potatoes remain over a slow fire till the steam is evap- orated ; then peel and set them on the table in an open dish. Potatoes of a good kind, thus cooked, will always be sweet, dry and mealy. A covered dish is bad for potatoes, as it keeps the steam in, and makes them soft and watery. TO CLEAN HAIR BRUSHES. Melt a piece of common soda in hot water, and put it in a large basin, and when nearly cold, dip your brush in, with the back upward (do not let the water get over the hack ;) shake it in the water till it becomes clean, then pour cold water over the back ; tako it out of the water, shake as dry as you can, and then let it dry in the air without any rubbing with a cloth, which spoils the bristles. Brown’s Household. Panacea and Family Liniment, which has wrought such wonders, is a purely vegetable preparation, It cures Cramp in the limbs and stomach, Rheumatism, Dysentery, Tooth-ache, Sore Throat, Bilious Colic, Cholera,Colds, Bums, and all kindred maladies. PICKLES, PRESERVES, &c. WATERMELON PRESERYES. Cut a watermelon in two, take out all the soft inside, leaving only the firm white rind, scrape oil the green outside, and cut into any fancy shape you choose, hearts, squares, crescents, or the like. Boil these bits in water enough to cover them, with fresh lemon skins to color them yellow. When the pieces are tender, take them out in dishes to cool. Make a syrup of a pound of sugar and teacup of water to each pound of melon. When the j sugar is dissolved and hot, put in the melon, and let them boil till clear. Put in slices of lemon to flavor. When the melon looks transparent take out with a skimmer, and Ixfil the syrup down till thick, then pour over the fruit previously put into jars. Cure for Cough or Cold. As soon as there is the Slightest uneasiness of the Chest, with difficulty of breathing, or indications of Cough; take during the day a few BROWN’S BRONCHIAL TROCHES. Containing demuleent ingredients, they allay Pulmonhry Irritation. Military Officers and Soldiers should have them in readiness upon the first appearance of a Cold or Cough. r TO CAN PEACHES, PEARS AND APRICOTS. As you peel, halve and seed thorn, drop thorn into cold water to prevent discoloration. Prepare your syrup in the proportion of one pound of white sugar to a quart of water; place your syrup on the fire, let it boil live minutes, then put in your fruit Let it remain in the hot syrup until it is thoroughly heated through, then fill your pans with the hot fruit; then pour on the syrup. Screw them up immediately, each one,as you fill, as firmly as you can with the hands, and as they cool oil' apply the wrench. This we call a very simple process. We have followed the above receipt for years, and have never lost a jar. We use the glass jar with a Japanned cover, and a rubber ring around its edge. Great care is necessary to can fruit with neatness and success. To l>o successful, a careful observance of the following rules is all that is required:—1. The fruit used should he fresh and perfectly sound, and free from spot or blemish. 2. Be sure your 'ruit is heated through and through. 3. Have your jars filled with hot water to warm them; pour out the water, and dip the boiling fruit rapidly info the jar, until brimful. Then pour on the hot syrup. Screw up im- mediately, and the work is done. The Poor Little Sufferer will be Immediately Relieved by using MRS. WINSLOWS SOOTHING SYRUP for children teething. It softens the gums, reduces inflammation, cures wind colic, allays all pain, and gives the child quiet, natural sleep, from which it awakes invigorated and refreshed. 28 PICKLES, PBESKKVE8, KT8. 29 TO PRESERVE CURRANTS.

Put tho quince? over the fire with just water enough to cover them, and simmer till soft, but do not let them cook till they break. Take out the iruit and spread on dishes to cool; add the parings and cores to the water in which the quinces were boiled, and stew it an hour; t-aen strain through a jelly-bag, and to each pint o: this liquor, allow a pound of sugar. Boil and skim this, then put in the fruit, and boil fifteen minutes. Take all off the lire, and let it stand in a deep dish twenty-four hours. Then drain off the syrup, and let it boil, put in the quinces and boil fifteen minutes. Take out the fruit again and spread on dishes ; boil the syrup down to a jelly nearly. Put the fruit info jars two-thirds full, and cover with the syrup. The quinces will be a line deep red color. RIPE TOMATO PRESERVE. Seven pounds round yellow tomatoes peeled, seven pounds sugar and juice of three lemons; let them stand together over night. Drain off the syrup and boil it, skimming well; then put in the tomatoes and boil gently tyventy minutes. Take out the fruit with a skimmer, and spread on dishes. Boil the syrup down till it thickens, adding, just before you take it off the fire, the juice of the lemons. Put the fruit into jars aud fill up with tho hot syrup. When cold, seal up.

Winslow's Soc-thing1 Syrup as Invaluable for the purposes lor which it is designed, and would have it if(it» prize were double what it now is. We shall do all in our power to introduce i! among our friends and acquaintances.—[Henry A. Hitchcock, Sturbrifige, Mass.] It relieves thjc child ffoyi pain, softens the gums, reduces infium ination, cures wind &>lic, anil*sure to regulate the bowels; gives rest and health to the chS 1, and comforts the mother. TOMATO CATSUP. Wash and drain two bushels of fair, ripe tomatoes; cut out the stem and nrjy imperfect spot; pa 1 the fruit into a kettle, giving each one a squeeze to break tjic skin as you throw th m in (a brass kettle, scoured perfectly bright, is the best, as being less likely to burn on the bottom than the porcelain kettle.) Cut up twelve ripe bell-peppers and as mai*y onions, and put with the tomatoes. Set the kettle over the fire and let the fruit cook two houri, stirring often from the bottom to prevent the tomatoes sticking or burn- ing. Then strain through a wire sieve, or better still a patent scoop and sieve combined, made of tin, with a crank of handle to turn the paddle, which easily presses the juice and moat through the strainer at the bot- tom, leaving seeds and skins inside. When strained, add one and one-half pint of salt, a quart of vinegar, three tablespoonfuls of ground cinnamon, three of black pepper, two of cloves, two of allspice, two of mace, and one of ginger. Boil slowly twelve hours. Of course it cannot be finished in one day, but at night must be emptied from the kettle into large wooden or earthen bowls, covered over closely, and left to stand till morning. The brass kettle should be well cleaned and dried as soon as emptied, that no verdigris may form in or around it, and to be all ready tor use the next day. In the morning, put the catsup into the kettle again, and boil slowly all day, or till as thick as rich cream, so that no clear liquid will rise' to the top. Stir often from bottom ; as it thickens, it will stick to the bottom if not carefully stirred, and scorch very easily. ThatVill spoil the whole.
