SICK ROOM COOKERY.
"-^-TfaiaJOQQaoor-T-
There is no subject connected with health deserving of greater
attention then the food we eat. The healthy and robust may-
eat with impunity, what others, with less strong digestive
organs, could not bear. It becomes, therefore, important to
everybody, to know what kind of food may be eaten without
injury to themselves, and which will serve to fortify the body
against disease, instead of paving the way for nature's maladies
to attack the system. With the sick and bed-ridden (and with
the young infant deprived of natural food), not only proper food,
but food properly prepared, is more essential to their health
than the best medicines ; and yet there is no subject that
perplexes a kind nurse so much as to know what food to cook
for the invalids or the baby, aud how to cook it.
We have, in the following pages, selected for her guidance,
such receipts and other information as will, we trust, prove a
great boon to the nurse, and a blessing to the patient.
What People Injuriously Eat.
They consume too much carbonaceous food — such as fats, oils,
butter, lard, sugar, pork, fritters, dough-nuts, greasy griddle
cakes, pies, and pastry. Carbon dwarfs the soul. It imparts
an unnatural addition of flesh. It possesses no strength-giving
power. It obscures the mind, so that we see as "through a
glass darkly." In many diseases it interferes with the digestion,
clogging up the system, and hastening destructive disintegration.
The Annual.
Wife to Husband. — Charles, I wish,
when you are in the village to-day,
that you would step into the Druggist's
and buy a bottle of the Pain-Killer.
Be sure and get the genuine, made by
"Perry Davis & Son."
Husband. — What on earth do you intend doing with the Pain-
Killer, my dear?
Wife. — Freddy caught a severe cold last night, can hardly
speak, he is so hoarse, and George has had the too hache since
yesterday morning, and yourself with the Rheumatism. If what
everybody says can be believed, the Pain-Killer will cure
these complaints, and such a house as this is we are always in
trouble, and it would be a perfect God-send if we could find
something to ease our lesser afflictions.
Husband. — Well, Mary, anything for a quiet home ; we will
try the Pain-Killer.
Husband (returned from the village.) — Mary, here my dear;
I have just returned from town and brought with me your entire
list — Tea, Coffee^ Sugar, Calico, and in short a waggonful of —
Wife (hastily) — And forgot the Pain-Killer?
Husband. —Oh! no ; couldn't forget that; it's the most prominent
object in every store in town ; and besides, the fences and stones
and buildings all have "Pain-Killer" painted or pasted on
them to remind one of it every minute. The store-keeper says
that the Pain-Killer should be in every house, and where one
can put their hand on it in the dark, if need be.
Wife. — It must be valuable, else the Parson's wife wouldn't
praise it to the skies as she does.
Husband. — And what does the Parson's wife say about it ?
Wife.^AVhy, it does everything but impossibilities ; she cures
Sore Throat, Canker Rash, Croup, Coughs, Colds, Bowel
Complaints, Cramps, Neuralgia, Rhuematism ; in fact, she is a
host of Doctors all in herself, if she has a bottle of Pain-Killer
with her.
Husband. — She needs to be ; I never saw such children as
hers are, they are always cutting their fingers, spraining their
ankles, and falling down stairs.
Wife. — Yes, and the Pain-Killer is magical when used for
Sprains, Bruises and Fresh Cuts. That reminds

Coffee and Tea.
Coffee may be used with benefit by laboring men; but black
tea is the best drink for sedentary persons.
Smoking.
In Consumption, Catarrh, and Nervous Exaltation of the
system, moderate smoking is always beneficial.
Health Aphorisms.
I. — Rise early, and take a good walk or ride before breakfast.
II. — Do not eat breakfast immediately on rising. The stomach
is not in a condition to receive food.
III. — There is a great virtue in fasting early in the day, and at
evening.
IV. — Let the breakfast and the supper be light — reserving
strong food, as meat, etc., for the middle of the day.
V. — A good rule would be : rise at 7 — breakfast at 8 or £ —
dinner at 1 — a light tea at 6.
VI. — Eat slowly, masticate thoroughly, and drink in sips.
Very little fluid during meals. Liquids should be taken an hour
after meals — then they assist digestion.
The Annual,
his finger awfully this morning; I will hasten and put some
Pain-Killer on it.
Husband. — You have great faith, Mary, in the Pain-Killer.
The Parson's wife and Mrs. Judge Jones are very positive in
favor of it ; but I am inclined to think that if did all it professes
to do sickness and death would soon be out of fashion, for it
cures everything.
Wife. — The Parson's wife and Mrs. Judge Jones are not the
only ones that I have heard strongly recommend the Pain-
Killer ; everywhere 1 go they have it and everybody praises it ;
all the Liniments, Cholera Mixtures and Pain Medicines have
disappeared since Perry Davis' agent came round. (To little boy)
George, does your tooth still ache, my dear!
George. — No, Mother, Pain-Killer stopped it.
^T^j?jj||. Wife to Husband. — The Pain-Killer does
T jet "^"i^vixjl not Profess to cure everything, either in
U^,,, [iiiii^t; ._ ' tne Directions about the bottle or in the
^^^^@t4^^^^ "Annual" ; I have read them carefully. It
jl!|g|g^|jfl^g|~ '"pglnl claims to be the best Family Medicine in
^ existence. Perry Davis & Son do not say
Xj&*~/~~f y^r^l w^at ^ can do, but prove what it has done
^MBiiiifrfstj1^' ky giying certificates from reliable persons,
^•^^^fiHHin^ whose testimony cannot be doubted.
Husband.— Do you think these certificates are bona fide ; I
believe they are made up to sell the goods.
Wife. — Judge Jones was as incredulous as you till he wrote
to Perry Davis & Son and was satisfied ; they sent him a quire
of certificates, received from parties within five miles of his own
house.
Husband. — What do these certificates amount to ?
Wife. — They prove that Perry Davis' Pain-Killer is safe to
use under any circumstances ; that it is not only a Liniment to
rub on Bruises, Cuts, Scalds, Burns and external complaints,
with unfailing relief, but that it has done miracles in curing
Colic, Cramps, Spasms, Heartburn, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Sour
Stomach, Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, and also it was the Pain-
Killer that cured John Sparkler of the Fever and Ague ; you
know he had it for over a year.
Husband. — Did it cure any Rheumatism about here ; I am
more interested in that than I am in fever and ague.
BROTHS AND MEAT TEAS.
Mutton Broth.
Take the scrag end of a neck of mutton, chop it into small
pieces, put it into a saucepan filled with water, and set it over a
fire. When the scum begins to rise, skim it off, add a little
nutmeg, French barley, or a crust of bread to thicken it ; boil
the mutton till it will shake to pieces, then strain your broth
through a hair sieve, skim off the fat, and send it up with dry
toast.
Chicken Broth.
Skin a small chicken and split it in two parts, boil one half
in three half-pints of water, with a blade or two of mace (or a
little nutmeg), a small crust of white bread ; boil it over a slow
fire, till it is reduced to half the quantity ; pour it into a basin,
and take off the fat, and send it up with a dry toast.
All Meat Broths are made in the same manner. «
A. Andrews, of the Bruce Reporter (Kincardine) says : " I think
very highly of the Pain-Killer as an excellent remedy, and have
no hesitation in strongly recommending it."
Extract of Meat.
Cut lean juicy beef or mutton in small bits, fill a quart bottle
three-fourths full. Cork and wire tightly, and put the bottle in
a kettle of cold water ; let it boil gently one hour ; when it is
removed, press the meat to obtain the juice which may yet
remain in the meat.
A VERY NICE PAIR.
Two magpies sat on a garden rail,
As it might be Wednesday week ;
And one little magpie wagged his tail
In the other little magpie's beak.
And doubling, like a fist, his little claw-hand,
Said this other, " Upon my word,
This is more than flesh and blood can stand,
Of magpie or any other bird."
So they pecked and they scratched each other's little eyes,
Till all that was left on the rail
Was the beak of one of the little magpies,
And the other little magpie's tail.
The Annual,
Wife. — You had better go over to Judge Jones and see the
certificates for yourself; there is no question but what they are
convincing, and I don't think he has returned them yet to
Providence, R. I., where Perry Davis & Son's head office is.
Husband. — I am really getting interested in the Pain-Killer,
my dear, and I will call on the Judge to-day, for my*Rheumatism
is quite unbearable.
Husband (returned from a call on Judge Jones). — Well,Mary,
I have examined those certificates and found them straight as a
string; there are so many imitations and counterfeits sticking,
like barnacles, to every good medicine, that I have learned to
look upon the good and bad as one and alike. It is very wrong,
however; this Pain-Killer of Perry Davis has stood the test of
time. Doctors and Druggists have not been able to hush it up ;
it's as you say, Mary, in everybody's house, and I am astonished
to find it has been doing such a world of good about here, and
we have known nothing about it.
Wife. — It must have cured somebody's Rheumatism or you
would'nt have been converted so easily.
Husband. — Converted ! Why it lias cured a dozen of (jases
about here within a year : Simon Tinkler, who, you know, used to
be such an awful sufferer with it and was laid up half the time —
why it was this same Perry Davis' Pain-Killer that cured him.
George Trotter, who Doctor Squills used to pity so much and
call such a great sufferer, he, too, was cured with the P ain-Killer,
and what's more, he writes that he paid Doctor Squills over one
hundred Dollars for attending him and was growing worse all
the while ; here, my dear, rub some of it on my shoulder at once.
I am through with Doctor Squills ; if Pain-Killer can't cure
me, nothing will — I am convinced of that.
Wife to Husband — (Rubbing the Pain-Killer on his Rheumatic
shoulder briskly) — Its a great pity such a good medicine as
SlcJc Room Cookery,
Real Extract of Beef, No. 2.
Have ready a bright bed of ccal, rub a thick juicy steak with
a very little salt; broil quickly, and press out all the juice as it
gathers ; it may be made boiling hot or used as it leaves the beef.
If used without cooking, however, it will be more strenghtening
than if changed by heat.
Chicken Tea.
Cut the meat from the bones, put it in a bottle with a little
water ; cork and wire the bottle and put it in cold water and boil
one hour.
Sage Tea.
Dried leaves of sage, half an ounce ; boiling water, one quart.
Infuse for half an hour, and strain, add sugar and lemon juice as
required by the patient. Balm and other herb teas are made in
the same manner.
The above infusions form agreeable drinks in fevers.
Malt Tea.
To one pint of ground malt add three pints of scalding water;
that is, water not quite brought to the boiling point ; infuse two
hours and strain ; add sugar, and flavor to suit the taste. An
excellent preparation in inflammatory fevers.
The following ode is by "one of the good old stock" : —
" That seat is engaged," said a pretty young maid,
As I entered a carriage one day ;
" To whom ? " " A young gentleman," pouting, she said.
" Then where is his baggage, I pray?"
Her ruby lips opened, like rosebuds in spring,
Her face in deep blushes was dyed,
As muttering crossly " You hateful old thing !
Why, I am his baggage," she cried.
Herb and Root Teas.
All herb and root teas should be made with the same care as
green tea. Steep them in earthenware teapots, tightly closed,
and use them while fresh ; the infusions loose life by long steeping
and exposure to air. Strain the tea before serving.
Beef Tea.
Lean beef, cut into shreds, one pound ; water, one quart. Boil
for twenty minutes, taking off the scum as it rises. When it
grows cold, strain.
The Annual.
Perry Davis' Pain-Killer is not more extensively used ; just see
what a world of good it has done even since we have had it.
George don't have the toothache any more ; it has saved Freddy
a severe attack of Fever ; it has cured me of Dyspepsia, and I
know it will relieve you of Rheumatism.
Husband. — You are right, Mary, the Pain-Killer seems to fire
up the cold corners of my shoulder and put new life into it ; it
certainly does act instantaneously. I do think, my dear, I am
cured already. (Meditatingly.) Well, well, all I have heard said of
it is true ; my shoulder is free from pain the first time for these
two months.
Wife. — It is strange we never have been induced to try it
before; I should have thought you would have been often
advised to try it.
Husband. — I have had the Pain-Killer recommended many
times ; but between the Doctors and Druggists, they have always
succeeded in keeping me from using it, by suggesting other trash
that has done me no good.
Wife. — People seem to enjoy paying the Doctor five to ten
Dollars every now and then to experiment on them, when a
twenty-five cent bottle of Pain-Killer would give them far
more relief ; and then the Druggists are so obliging, it is very
hard to say "I want Perry Davis' Pain-Killer, and nothing else
will do," and thus refuse to buy their trash.
Husband. — I shall know them better hereafter. Druggists and
Storekeepers are doing not only themselves a great deal of
harm, but their customers also, by inducing them to buy an
article unknown and without merit. Perry Davis' Pain-Killer
has been before the public for over thirty years : it is known in
every quarter ot the earth, and is sold by every Druggist and
most storekeepers and grocers. As a Cholera specific and
Diarrhoea medicine, its reputation has no parallel. I am surprised
that we have lived so many years without it.
Wife. — Charles, the reason is you have been taking whatever
the storekeeper would recommend; we have always had a bottle
of Pain Cure or Reliever or Pain Remedy, or some such trash in
the house ; we have tried them over and over again.
Husband. — And that is just the reason I objected to try the
Pain-Killer on my Rheumatism ; I thought it was like those
other things — a humbug.
SicJc Koom Cookery.
GRUELS.
Incfian Meal Gruel.
Put into a spider one quart of cold water ; stir in a teacup of
cold water a large table spoonful of sweet Indian meal, stir this
in the water; add a little salt, and boil it gently fifteen minutes,
stirring constantly for five minutes. It can be enriched by a
spoonful of sweet cream, sweetened or spiced to suit. For a
convalescent boil raisins in the gruel, add sugar, nutmeg and a
little butter — break into the gruel a nice cracker or toasted
bread.
Oatmeal Gruel.
Take one spoonful of oatmeal, boil it in three pints of water
till it is fine and. smooth, then take it off the fire and let it stand
and settle, then pour it into a bowl, and add white wine, sugar
and nutmeg to your taste ; serve it up hot with buttered toast on
a plate.
Flour Gruel.
Tie a teacup of flour in a strong cloth and boil it six hours ;
when it is done it will be a hard cake of flour ; dry it and grate a
large table spoonful, mix it in paste with cold water and stir it in
boiled milk ; let the gruel boil gently for ten minutes and add
salt. This is excellent for patients suffering with bowel
complaints.
Arrowroot Gruel.
Arrowroot one table spoonful ; sweet milk half a pint ; boiling
water half a pint — to be sweetened with loaf sugar. Excellent
diet for children when the bowels are irritable.
Sago Gruel.
Sago two teaspoonfuls ; water one pint ; boil gently until it
thickens, frequently stirring. Wine, sugar, and nutmeg may be
added, according to circumstances.
Barley Gruel.
Boil pearl barley till tender — reduce it to a pulp — pass it through
a seive ; add water until of the right consistence ; boil fifteen
minutes, and season to suit the taste.
Caudle.
Make a smooth thick gruel with groats or Indian meal, stir it
while cooling, and add nutmeg sugar and wine to suit the taste.
The Annual.
Wife.— I wish I could but speak to every mother in America,
especially those who live in the country places, or far from a
good Physician. I would (like the Parson's wife) insist on their
buying a bottle of Perry Davis' Pain-Killer. If they could not
afford to buy, I wish I could present them with a bottle ; but
few, very fcw indeed, but could find a quarter of a Dollar to buy
it if they culy knew the benefits and comfort it would afford
them.
Husband— "For children the Pain-Killer is invaluable. Aches
and pains arc as nothing with them, if they have the Pain-
killer at htnd — it acts so quickly. For you it has been
invaluable ; inured you of Dyspepsia, and for me I cannot express
my thankfulnes since my terrible Rheumatism has left me.
Wife. — I mui be sure and tell the Parson's wife what a
blessing this P^n-Killer has proved, and what a good work
she is doing in teling its merits everywhere she goes.
For the Sick Room.
The following recoe makes a delicious refreshing wash in the
sick room, and cools he aching head :
Take of rosemary, v>rmwood, lavender, rue, sage, and mint, a
large handful of each. Place in a stone jar, and turn over it
one gallon of strong cior_vinegar, cover closely, and keep near
the fire for four days, thi strain, and add one ounce of pounded
camphor-gum. Bottle &i keep tightly corked.
There is a French le^id connected with this preparation,
(called vinaigre d, quat voleurs). During the plague at
Marseilles, a band of robb.a plundered the dying and the dead,
without injury to themselvi. They were imprisoned, tried, and
condemned to die, but wereardoned on condition of disclosing
the secret whereby they con ransack houses infected with the
terrible scourge. They gave^e above recipe.
Another mode of using it i&o wash the face and hands with
it before exposing one's self tc,ny infection.
It is very aromatic and refining in the sick-room ; so, if it
can accomplish nothing moreu is of great value to house-
keepers.
Sick Moom Cookery.
Water Gruel.
Take one spoonful of oatmeal or corn meal, boil it in three

A DOZEN REASONS
Best Family Medicine of this Age
And why it should be kept always near at hand : —
1st. Pain-Killer is the most certain Cholera cure that medical
science has produced.
2nd. Pain-Killer, as a Diarrhoea and Dysentery remedy, is
unequalled. It seldom if ever fails.

system. A single dose usually effects a cure.
4th. Pain-Ktiier will cure Dyspepsia and Indigestion, if used
according to directions.
5th. Patn-Kiiler is an almost never-failing cure for Sudden
Colds, Coughs, &c.
6th. Patn-Killer has proved itself a Sovereign Remedy for
Fever and Ague, and Chill Fever : it has cured the most
obstinate cases.
7th. Pain-Killer as a liniment is unequalled. For Frost
Bites, Chilblains, Burns, Bruises, Cuts, Sprains, &c, no
Physician can do more than it.
8th. Pain-Killer has cured cases of Rheumatism and Neuralgia
after years stand, r .
9th. Pain-Killer win destroy Boils, Felons, Whitlows, Old
Sores and Swelled Joints, giving relief from Pain after
the first application.

keep and to use in every family. The simplicity attending its use,
together with the great variety of diseases that may be entirely
eradicated by it, and the great amount of pain and suffering
that can be alleviated through its use, makes it imperative upon
every person to supply themselves with this valuable remedy,
and to keep it always near at hand.
The Pain-Killer is now known and appreciated in every
quarter of the Globe. Physicians recommend it in their practice,
while all classes of society have found in it relief and comfort,
Side Room Cookery.
Coffee Milk.
Boil a dessert spoonful of ground coffee in nearly a pint of
milk, for a quarter of an hour ; then put into it a shaving of
isinglass and clear it. Let it boil a few minutes and set it
beside the fire to clarify ; sweeten with loaf sugar.
Barley Milk.
Boil pearl barley in milk until it becomes as thick as thin
cream flavor ; to suit.
SOUPS.
Physicians do not now consider soups as nourishing as
formerly. Teas made from meats are much more so ; and nothing
in the form of food can be found more stimulating than the Extract
of Beef, when properly prepared in the form of Tea. (See receipt.)
Neudle Soup.
Six eggs well beaten ; a teaspoonful of salt and flour to make
a paste to roll. Roll it as thin as paper; fold it and shred it
fine. Boil it in a gallon of any meat broth, and season with salt
and pepper. For an invalid boil it in milk and water, slightly
thickened if desired.
Chicken Soup.
Cut up the fowl, cut each joint, and let it boil one hour, then
stir in powdered crackers, pepper, and salt, to season ; let it boil
up fifteen minutes, and serve.
Vegetable Soup.
Take one turnip, one potatoe, and one onion, let them be
sliced and boiled in one quart of water for an hour; add as much
salt as is agreeable, and pour the whole upon a slice cf dry
toast. This forms an agreeable substitute for animal food, and
may be given when the latter is inadmissible.
Caution. — Never enter a sick-room in a state of perspiration,
as the moment you become cool the pores absorb. Do not
approach contagious diseases with an empty stomach, nor sit
between the sick and the fire, because the heat attracts poisonous
vapors.
ALLEN'S UJm BALSAM
FOB THE CUBE OF CONSUMPTION
and all diseases that lead to it, such as COUGHS, NEGLECTED
COLDS, BRONCHITIS, PAIN in the CHEST and Diseases of
the LUNGS and THROAT, Alien?* Lung Balaam, is unequalled
and has established for itself a
WORLD-WIDE REPUTATION.
Physicians recommend it in their practice, rnci the formula
from which it is prepared is highly commended by Medical
Journals. The Clergy and the press have complimented it in
the most glowing terms, and it stands the very first among the
popular Cough Remedies of the age.
ftfg§*' Caution. — As there are numerous Cough mixtures sold
under appellation of Cough Balsam, Specifics, &c, intending
purchasers will be careful and not be deceived; procure only
ALLEN'S LUNG BALSAM ; remember that the genuine has
the signature of J. N. Harris & Co. on the outside wrapper, and
"ALLEN'S LUNG BALSAM" is blown in the glass.

DRINKS FOR INVALIDS.
Barley or Corn Coffee.
Get common barley, wash it in several waters ; dry and brown
it without burning. Grind the barley, mix it with egg, and pour
over it boiling water ; let it boil a few moments and strain it
clear. Season as the patient likes. This is excellent drink for
persons troubled with bowel complaints. Corn coffee is made in
the same manner, and is used to settle the stomach.
j Crust Coffee.
Toast slowly one or two slices of brown or white bread, pour
boiling water over it, sweeten to suit the taste and drink hot or
cold, according to preference.
Suet Ptisan.
Sheep suet two ounces, milk one pint, starch half an ounce,
boil slowly for half an hour. This may be used as a common
drink in Dysentery.
g^^The popularity of the Pain-Killer has induced others to
imitate it to a great extent. Purchasers should be careful and
buy none but the genuine.
An Irishman put his head into a lawyer's office, and asked the
inmate, " An' what do you sell here?" "Blockheads," replied
the limb of the law. " Och, thin, to be sure," said Pat, " it must
be a good trade, for ye have but one of them left."
A Missouri farmer being asked if raising hemp was a good
business, answered, " I can't sartin say ; but it is surely better
than being raised by it."
Lemonade.
Fresh lemon juice about four ounces, thin lemon peel half an
ounce, white sugar four ounces, boiling water three pints. Let
them stand till cold and strain. When used in fevers, a little
spirits of nitre may be added. It may be further diluted to suit
the taste of the patient.
The New York Examiner says : — Every mother and house-
keeper must often act as a physician in the many illnesses and
accidents that occur among children and servants. For many
of these cases, I have used Davis' Pain-Killer, and consider it an
indispensable article in the medicine box. In Diarrhoea, it has
been used and effected cures. For cuts and bruises it is
invaluable.

Port Burwell, Ont., March 23rd, 1869.
Gents, — I am pleased to notify you of the benefit which I
have received from your Allen's Lung Balsam. Having been
troubled with an occasional cough, at times very severe, during
years past, I have found your Balsam to relieve my cough more
readily than anything I ever tried. My wife has also used it
with most satisfactory results.
Yours truly,
Capt. D. FOSTER.
West Farnham, Que., Jan. 21, 1871.
Messrs. Perry Davis & Son,
Gents, — I have had a bad cough for several years past, and
every time I took a little cold, my cough increased. I had
consulted several Physicians without obtaining from them
anything to relieve me. I, at last, was induced to try Allen's
Lung Balsam by one of your agents, which I found to help me.
I continued its use until I was entirely cured. I can safely
recemmend the Lung Balsam as a valuable family medicine, and
one every family should keep at hand.
Your respectfully,
E. H. RIPLEY.
MOTHERS, — Have you delicate, weakly children, who are
always taking cold, and subject to Croup? Remember, there
never was a case of Croup which did not originate in a Cold !
And when your child goes to bed, wheezing and coughing, you
know not that, before morning, Croup may not set in, and ere
you can get a physician, your dear child may be beyond the
reach of help. "We beseech you, therefore, as you value the lives
of your children, keep Allen's Lung Balsam by you in the
house. Let every Mother, especially, heed well these remarks,
that she may not hereafter, when mourning over the early blight
of some cherished blossom, have occasion bitterly to reproach
herself for her criminal neglect. It is an old adage, that "to be
forewarned is to be forearmed. " Parents, so let it be in your
case.

Apple Water.
Cut two large apples in slices, and pour a quart of boiling
water on them. Or pour the same amount of water on roasted
apples. In two or three hours strain and sweeten, also add
grated nutmeg.
Barley Water.
To make good barley water choose the best pearl barley, boil
it for a few minutes, then throw away the water, and add fresh,
in the proportion of a pint to an ounce of barley. Boil quickly
in a tin or earthen vessel, and then let it simmer for an hour ;
strain and sweeten ; flavor with lemon, or according to taste. It
is a very mucilaginous drink, and beneficial to invalids.
Barley Negus.
One pint of barley water, half a pint of wine, a tablespoonful

Worthington, Ohio, May 22nd 1866.
Dear Sir: — I bear willing testimony to the sterling merits of
Allen's Lung Balsam for all Pulmonary troubles. I had a very
distressing cough, and the Balsam gave me immediate relief and
permanent benefit. I have had a severe attack of Pleurisy and
by its aid was relieved and cured. I am satisfied that all that
is necessary to convince any one of its merits, would only be to
make a trial of it, and I cheerfully recommend it to all whose
condition demands anything of this nature, asking for it an
impartial trial, and believing they will, and hoping they may
be benefitted as much as I was myself,
I am respectfully, &c,
S. R. TAYLOR.
Bice Water.
Rice two ounces, water two quarts, boil an hour and a half in
a tin or earthen vessel, and add sugar and nutmeg. Rice, when
boiled for a considerable length of time, becomes a kind of jelly,
and mixed with milk is a very excellent diet for children. It
has in some measure a constipating property, which may be
increased by boiling the milk.
CONSUMPTION CURED!
Convincing Testimony.
Don't experiment with new and untried mixtures — you cannot
afford it — but try at once this invaluable article. It can be
found in any Drug Store and at most general stores. It is
warranted to break up the most troublesome Cough in a few
hours, if not of too long standing. It is warranted to give entire
satisfaction in all cases of Lung and Throat difficulties.
Kead the statement of Dr. Scovill, of Cincinnati, who is
extensively known throughout the United States.
J. N. HARRIS & Co. :
Gents — This is to certify that my sister was attacked with a
cough, to which, at first, she paid but litle attention; but, after
a little time, it became dry and hard, and she could not expec-
torate the phlegm. This went on, she thinking it would wear
itself off in a short time. Finally, the lungs became sore and
painful. The exertion to raise seemed to increase the irritation.
She had one of the ablest physicians in the country, who attended
her for a long time, but he gave only temporary relief. At this
time what she raised was of a yellow and thick matter ; the cold
chills and night sweats followed ; the system prostrated ; the
bowels constipated ; the appetite poor; the hands and feet cold
and clammy ; the eyes glassy, with all the attending symptoms
of being in the last stage of consumption. Tubercles had
formed and rotted off one of the veins, which caused hemorrhage
of the lungs. She bled more than a pint at a time. The
physicians, on examining her lungs, found a tubercle as large as
a hen's egg. At this crisis, she commenced the use of the
LUNG BALSAM, which she took freely at first, as directed,
until she raised large quantities of phlegm. When this matter
was once thrown off, she felt greatly relieved. As she inhaled /
air into her lungs, it seemed to produce new life to the system.
She now began to have hopes of getting well again. She
bathed over the chest and back, used stimulating drinks, diet,
and tonics, which the directions recommend. The cough rapidly
decreased; the sores on the lungs began to heal; the appetite
became stronger; the cold chills and night sweats stopped, and
the strength returned, until she has entirely recovered her
health ; and now, at this time, she is as likely to die of any
other disease as that of Consumption. I have known this
BALSAM to be used in many other cases, which the physicians
and friends had given up all hopes of getting better. They
appeared to be in the last stages of consumption. They had
cold night sweats, attended with a diarrhoea, tubercles formed
and ulcerated; yet they were cured, and now apparently enjoy
good health. I have also found it to be one of the best Cough
Medicines that I have ever used.
Respectfully, yours,
Dr. A. L. SCOVILL.

Mr. Samuel Lewis, an old esteemed resident of Cincinnati
for many years, writes us as follows : — On the 22nd of November
last, I sent you a statement of the great benefit that I had
received from ALLEN'S LUNG BALSAM, at which time, I was
not altogether cured ; but now I am happy o say I have recovered
my health. Previous to using the BALSAM, I was exceedingly
low ; my friends thought I could not possibly get well. I would
cough for hours at a time, and would raise large quantities of
phlegm, mixed with corrupted matter. I would recommend all
those afflicted with the last stages of Consumption, to give this
BALSAM a trial. In truth, I may say it has saved my life.
Chicken Water.
Take half a chicken divested of all fat, and break the bones,
add to this a half gallon of water, and boil for half an hour, season
with salt.

Put two slices of lemon, thinly pared, into a. teapot, a little
bit of the peel and a bit of sugar, pour in a pint of boiling water
and cover it close for two hours.

Raw Egg and Milk.
Beat a yolk very light, add it to a tumbler three-fourthsful of
milk, beat until it foams, add sugar and flavor ; a little Port wine
may be added if desirable.
ALLEN'S LUNG BALSAM contains no opium in any form.
It is perfectly harmless for the most delicate child. It is every-
where in good demand and gives good satisfaction.
Raw Egg and Wine.
Drop an egg in wine, and drink it without breaking the egg or
beat the yolk, add it to the wine, beat them together, flavor to
suit the taste. Beat the whites as light as possible, and then
beat them through the yolk ; wine, sugar and spices, and drink
immediately. This forms a delightful beverage, and is excellent
to be taken when Moovering from slow fevers.
S. & J. H. Walford, of Renfrew, Out., write, dated Feb. 28th,
1871:— "We have sold ALLEN'S LUNG BALSAM for several
years, and have often received verbal testimonies to its efficacy in
curing Whooping Cough and other Throat and Lungs diseases."
James Bissel, of Chatham, Ont., writes, under date Feb. 27th,
1871 : — "I was afflicted with a severe Cold and Cough. I tried
various remedies without effect. I afterwards used ALLEN'S
LUNG BALSAM, and after using two bottles I was cured. I
would strongly recommend this Balsam to those suffering with
severe Coughs and Colds."

Sick Hoom Cookery.
Wine Whey.
Milk-two thirds of a pint, water one-third of a pint, Madeira
or other wine one gill, sugar one dessert spoonful. Place the
milk and water together in a deep pan on the fire, and at the
moment when it begins to boil pour in the wine and the sugar,
stirring assiduously whilst it boils for twelve or fifteen minutes.
Lastly strain through a sieve. This is excellent in all forms of
Fever, given in small quantities. It may be drunk either cold or
tepid, a wine-glassful at a time.
Vinegar Whey.
Milk one pint, vinegar one table spoonful, boil for a few
minutes and separate the curd.
Mustard Whey.
Bruised mustard seed one table spoonful, milk one pint, boil
together for a few moments and separate the curd.
This has been found a useful drink in Dropsy, a teacupful
may be taken at a time.
Milk Whey.
Steep a piece of rennet, an inch and a half square, in a teacup
of hot water for four or five hours, then strain the water into two
quarts of new milk : when the curd has well formed, put it
gently in a sieve, until the whey and curd are separated. May
be drank warm or cold.
Nitre Whey.
Pour into a pint of boiling milk, a table spoonful of sweet
spirits of nitre, strain and sweeten : let it be drank warm. It is
used to promote perspiration, and is good in cases of severe
cold.

for which I gave trial to a number of Cough Medicines, but

Dear Sirs, — The Allen's Lung Balsam has arrived. I would
not like to be without it, for it has saved my life. I took a bad
cold, and a cough, and linally consumption was seated upon me.
I was in a very bad state. I tried everything that was recom-
mended, and spent a great deal of money and got no help. I
had the Allen's Lung Balsam for sale, but knew nothing of its
merits. I did not like to take it without knowing more about it ;
I had not sold a bottle. When your agent called on me I told
him I could not sell a medicine I knew nothing about. He
Urged me to try it myseif. I did so, and, to my great surprise,
the first bottle stopped my cough, and before the third bottle was
taken my lungs were healed and well, and I can now speak
knowingly to my friends and customers of the good qualities of
Allen's Lung Balsam.
I remain yours respectfully,

respected resident of Middlebury :
Middlebury, Vt., November 10, 1866.
Mr. Editor : It is only to subserve the interests of humanity
that I request a short space in your valuable paper to inform the
public what Allen's Lung Baslam is sure to do. Two years
ago I was attacked with a severe cold ; it settled in my throat,
which so affected the organs of speech that I could not speak
aloud for nearly six weeks. I got through the winter, coughing
nights almost incessantly, with cold night sweats, with increased
irritation which extended into the bronchial tubes, and which
kept me coughing all summer. I was at Shoreham, on a
professional visit, the past October, when the " Good Samaritan "
came along, introducing Allen's Lung Balsam into New
England. I procured a bottle and took it according to directions,
and found immediate relief. I have now taken two bottles,
which has entirely cured me. For the last two years, or during
the time of my affliction, I was in a state of constipation, which
the Balsam has most effectually regulated. No family should
be without this valuable medicine.

Hours op Sleep. — The hours of sleep must be regulated by
the constitution. An old rhyme has it :
" Nature requires five,
Custom gives seven:
Laziness takes nine,
And Wickedness eleven."
Tapioca Cream.
Three tablespoonsful tapioca, cover with water, and soak four
hours, pour off the water, put one quart of milk over the fire ;
when it boils, stir in the yolks of three eggs and a little salt, stir
till it begins to thicken. Make a frosting of the three eggs, and
spread over the top. Flavor with vanilla.
Soft Custard.
One pint milk, two eggs, half a teacupful of sugar ; add the
sugar to the milk, and set it over the fire until it comes to a boil,
then stir in the eggs, first beating them thoroughly ; let the
custard remain over the fire till it thickens, constanly stirring it.
Flavor with vanilla or almond, to suit the taste.
Custard Pudding.
Boil a quart of milk, beat up six eggs light, sweeten the milk
to your taste, add the eggs, flavor it, and bake it in a pudding
dish, or in cups, grate a little nutmeg over it.
To make an Oatmeal Custard.
Take two teaspoonsful of the finest Scotch oatmeal, beat it up
into a sufficiency of cold water in a basin to allow it to run
freely. Add to it the yolk of a fresh egg, well worked up ; have
a pint of scalding new milk on the fire, and pour the oatmeal
mixture into it, stirring it round Avith a spoon, so as to incorporate
the whole. Add sugar to your taste, and throw in a glass of
sherry to the mixture, with a little grated nutmeg. Pour it into
a basin, and take it warm in bed. It will be found very grateful
and soothing in cases of colds or chills. Some persons scald a
little cinnamon in the milk they use for the occasion.
Milk Porridge.
Wheat flour, cornmeal, or oatmeal two tablespoonsful, milk
one pint, water one pint, mix the flour or meal with cold water
to form a thin paste ; put the milk and water over the fire, and
when they come to the boiling point add the paste, carefully
stirring ; boil half an hour or longer.
French Milk Porridge.
Stir some oatmeal and water together, let the mixture stand
to clear, and pour off the water, then put more water to the
meal, stir it well and let it stand till the next day. Strain
through a fine sieve and boil the water, adding milk while so
doing. The proportion of water must be small. With toast this
is a good preparation for a weak person.

What the Doctors say :
Amos Woolly, M. D., of Koscuisko Co., Indiana, says : — "For
three years past I have used Allen's Lung Balsam extensively
in my practice, and I am satisfied that there is no better
medicine for lung diseases in use."
Isaac K. Doran, M. D., of Logan Co., Ohio., says :— " Allen's
Lung Balsam not only sells rapidly, but gives perfect satisfaction
in every case within my knowledge. Having confidence in it,
and knowing that it possesses valuable meaical properties, I
freely use it in my daily practice and with unbounded success.
As an expectorant it is most certainly far ahead of any
preparation I have ever yet known."
Nathaniel Harris, M. D., of Middlebury, Vermont, says : —
" I have no doubt it will soon become a classical remedial agent
for the cure of diseases of the Throat, Bronchial Tubes and the
Lungs."
Dr. Lloyd, of Ohio, Surgeon in the army during the war, from

hesitation in stating that it was by the use of your Lung Balsam
that I am now alive and enjoying health."
Dr. Fletcher, of Missouri, says : — "I recommend your Balsam
in preference to any other medicine for Coughs, and it gives
satisfaction."

Sick Moom Cookery,
To Cook Sago or Tapioca.
Cleanse it in several waters and soak it in water an hour
then boil it in water until clear ; season to suit the taste.
Jelly of Rice or Tapioca.
Boil until they form a mass ; pass through a sieve ; season
to suit the taste and mould.
Rusk of Barley or Corn.
Brown barley or corn ; grind in the coffee mill, and eat it in
milk. It is excellent.
"Wine Jelly.
Dissolve one ounce of isinglass in a half pint of water : add
nutmeg, cinnamon, mace, cloves — a very little of each ; simmer
gently half an hour without scorching; strain it and set it away
to cool ; take a pint of wine, cut into it the jelly; simmer in an
earthen ja*r until the jelly dissolves; add sugar, another pint of
wine, warm altogether, strain and put into mould.
Cakes for the Sick.
Sponge cake and simple cookies are the best cakes for an
invalid. Eich cakes should be avoided.
Invalids' Biscuits.
Melt three-fourths of a pound of butter in a pint of new milk,
and pour it on three-fourths of a pound of white sugar ; when
cool, put in half a dessert-spoonful of yeast, and a whole one of
caraway seeds ; add flour sufficient to make it into a stiff paste
to roll thin ; prick and cut into shapes, and bake them.
A very nice way of making Eread.
Take one cup of Indian meal, and two of flour ; scald with a
pint of boiling water. When cool, add two cups of milk, one
of yeast, and flour sufficient to mould. The more it is kneaded
the better. When risen sufficiently, bake.
Bice Biscuits.
Two tablespoonsful of rice flour, three of wheaten flour, two of
powdered sugar, a piece of butter the size of a walnut, to be
rubbed into the flour, as much boiling milk as will scald the
mixture. Beat with the rolling pin till short, roll out very, thin,
and cut into rounds as large as the top of a tumbler. Bake in
a very slow oven.
Side Room Cookery.
Rusks.
Rusks and the top crusts of loaves have long been used as
foud for children. They are recommended by Dr. Underwood, in
his valuable work on the " Management of Infants," published
nearly a century ago. The rusks may be bought, or may be
made and reduced to a panada, as follows: Tear into pieces the
crumb of a newly-baked loaf, and brown them, without burning
in an oven. Boil in water for an hour, beat them into a fine
pulp, then add warm milk, a little loaf sugar, and a few grains
of salt
Top Crust.
The top crust of a light and well baked loaf may be prepared
in the same manner as rusk food, by boiling in water for an
hour and beating into a fine pulp. Mix with warm milk, and
add a little loaf sugar, with a few grains of salt.
Bread Panada.
Soak a few thin slices of stale, light, and well baked bread in
hot water, so as to form a pulp of suitable consistence. Simmer it
gently, with some little addition of water from time to time as it
thickens ; then add two or three tablespoonsful of warm milk, a
little loaf sugar, and a few grains of salt. The objection to
this bread pap, as commonly used, is, that nurses are sometimes
apt to make it too thick. It should not be given with a spoon
until the infant is twelve months old.
No. 2. — Cut thin slices of bread into a basin ; cover the bread
with cold water ; place it in an oven for two hours, to bake ;
take it out — beat the bread up with a fork, and then slightly
sweeten it This is an excellent food.
No. 3. — If the above should not agree with the infant (although
if properly made, they most always do,) grate boiled flour. (See
flour gruel.)
No. 4. — Another way : bake flour (biscuit-flour) in a slow oven,
until it is of a light fawn color. This food will sometimes
produce constipation, if so, add to the flour a little prepared
oatmeal; or Robertson's Patent Greats; add in the proportion
of one part oatmeal to two parts flour; one tablespoonful mixed
with a quarter of a pint of milk or milk and water ; well boiled
and sweetened produces a thick and nourishing food for infants
or invalids.
In nothing is poor Richard's proverb, " a stitch in time saves
nine," truer than in what concerns our health, for a little timely
care or medicine, promptly used, not only preserves or restores
health, but often saves life.
MEAD! READ!! HEJlD ! ! !
DR. PERRIN'S FUMIGATOR,
FOR
Catarrh, Asthma, Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat, etc.
Neglected catarrh invariably terminates in consumption.
The putrid secretions emanating in the head, oozing from the
mucous lining, descend into the throat, and during sleep fill the
stomach and lungs with decomposed and offensive secretion,
which, by constant contact with those delicate organs so
important to life, soon start decay and suppuration; which
always terminates in death. To arrest this disease in its early
stages, and completely avert so dire a calamity, is the object of
PERRIN'S FUMIGATOR. This remedy enjoys a reputation
for the cure of catarrh, and diseases of the head and throat,
leading to incipient and incurable consumption, that has com-
manded the attention of the medical world. This remedy, in
the form of a medicated air or vapor, penetrates every cavity,
exerts a wonderful curative power on the mucous lining, shrinks
up, so to speak, the membrane, and deodorizes the putrid, deadly,
and offensive discharge, which, by being retained in the system,
works so much mischief to the animal economy. How very-
successful this remedy is, let the thousands it has cured speak in
living praise of its matchless power over a disease which is the
scourge of our whole' country. The ingredients from which it
is manufactured embrace a class of herbs, balsams, barks, etc.,
heretofore excluded from the list of curatives, and by botanists
considered inert and of no earthly importance. But as
knowledge is all-powerful, and new discoveries are constantly
being made, we rejoice that the healing of the sick and
investigation of new and powerful medical agents march on,
hand in hand, and we sometimes think outstrips the more
abstruse sciences. It is enough to know, however, that in the
discovery and use of PERRIN'S FUMIGATOR a chord was
struck that convulsed the medical world and set gray-headed
doctors smelling and tasting this matchless compound. Nor is
the effect more wonderful than its mode of administration is
novel. It is nothing to be taken inwardly. It is smoked in a
common pipe, and by blowing the medicated fumes through the
nostrils, this insidious remedy penetrates as if by magic the
secret ambush of the disease, and exterminates it at once and
forever.

Sick Moom Cookery.
Bread Panada.
White bread o>ie ounce, ground cinnamon one teaspoonful,
water one pint, boil them until well mixed and add a little sugar
and nutmeg. Wine or butter may also be added, if desirable.
An old bachelor says that giving the ballot to women would
not amount to anything practically ; because they would insist
that they were too young to vote until they got too old to take
any interest in politics.
If you ever should have the misfortune to " let the cat out of
the bag," never try and stuff her back again ; it's such a mistake ;
you only make, inevitably make, matters forty times worse.
Bread Panada with Wine.
Boil equal parts of wine and water, grate bread crumbs and
thicken the wine with them, beat constantly while boiling and
season to suit the taste. A bread panada may be made with
the juices of fruit and water in the place of the wine and water.
" Are the jury agreed ? " asked the judge of a court attache
whom he met on the stairs with a bucket in his hand. " Yes, "
replied Patrick, "they have agreed to send out for half a gallon."
Meat and Bread Panada.
Mince so small that it will pass through a coarse sieve the
white meat of a cold chicken, beef or mutton ; boil broth or
water, season with salt and thicken with the meat, stir it
constantly while boiling, and serve with nice toasted bread
broken in bits.
TO PHYSICIANS.
Physicians having Consumptive patients, and having failed
to cure them by their own prescriptions, if they desire to try
ALLEN'S LUNG BALSAM, by writing to the proprietors, they
will send a formula, which will enable them to judge whether
the ingredients are of a superior compound or not. The medical
properties are extracted by a chemical process. The apparatus
by which some of them are extracted cost many thousands
of dollars.
SYMPTOMS OF LIVER COMPLAINT.
A sallow or yellow color of the skin, or yellowish brown
spots on the face and other parts of the body ; dullness and
drowsiness, with frequent headache ; bitter or bad taste in the
mouth, dryness of the throat and internal heat; palpitation of
the heart ; in many cases a dry, teasing cough, with sore throat ;
unsteady appetite ; sour stomach, with a raising of the food, and
a choking sensation in the throat, which is often attributed to
worms ; sickness and vomiting ; distress ; heaviness or a
bloated and full feeling about the stomach and sides, which is
often attended with pains and tenderness ; aggravating pains in
the sides, back or breast, and about the shoulders ; restlessness
at night, with a tired and sore feeling of the whole body on
rising in the morning; colic, pain and soreness through the
bowels, with heat; constipation of the bowels, alternating with
frequent attacks of diarrhoea ; piles; flatulence; nervousness;
all-gone feeling ; thick, turbid, or high-colored urine ; coldness
of the extremities ; rush of blood to the head, with symptoms of
apoplexy ; numbness of the limbs, especially at night ; tenderness
and fullness in right side, which often extends to the left ; cold
chills, alternating with hot flushes ; female weakness and
irregularities ; fainting fits, etc.
All of the above .symptoms indicate more or less derangement
of the liver, and are so characteristic that few can be misled.
Of course it is not be supposed that all of the above symptoms !
will be found in any one case. In many instances only a very
few of them may be manifested.
It depends much upon the length of time the difficulty has been j
existing, organization of the particular system affected, climate, I
general habits, occupation, sex, etc.. etc. Of course, the longer or i
more severe the derangement, the more numerous the symptoms or I
external manifestations of the internal discord and complication. !
If nature, in her salutary struggles to relieve the blood from its j
poisonous qualities, throws or deposits the greater portion of it
upon the delicate organs called Lungs, there is at once more ,
or less cough as the result, with, eventually, all the Jong tram
of symptoms of Consumption. If the bowels receive the most '
of the poisonous deposit, diarrhoea, dysentery, piles, bilious
colic, etc., are the result. If the stomach receive it instead,
dyspepsia, cholera morbus, cramps and pains in the stoma en
sick-headache, heartburn, and many other unpleasant symptoms j
are the result. If the poisonous bilious matter is thrown to the
skin, all kinds of eruptions and skin diseases are quickly
induced.
For over a quarter of a century have HERRICKS SUGAR-
COATED PILLS been used with remarkable success in the
treatment of diseased liver ; and from their immense sale, and
unsurpassed virtues as a medicine, no one afflicted with any of
the symptoms enumerated above should fail to use them.
Sick Koom Cookery.
Slippery Elm Poultice.
Stir ground slippery elm bark into hot water and let it swell.
This is a very soothing poultice for irritable sores.
Onion Poultice.
Boil the proper quantity of onions till they are quite soft,
strain off the water, mash them to a pulp, and add a little lard,
or sweet oil to prevent them getting hard, then spread. This
is quite stimulating and induces indolent sores to maturate
more freely.
Carrot Poultice.
Boil the proper quantity of carrots till they are quite soft,
strain off the water, mash them to a pulp, and add a little lard,
or sweet oil to prevent them from getting hard, then spread. A
good application for malignant and offensive sores.
Flax Seed Poultice.
Put boiling water in a basin, and stir in flax seed meal to
make a thick paste, spread on linen and apply.
SLY THOUGHTS.
" 1 saw him kiss your cheek ! "
<"Tis true"
" 0 Modesty ! " « 'Twas strictly kept :
He thought me asleep ; at least I knew
He thought 1 thought he thought I slept ! "
JESSE SMITH writes, January 11th, 1866, to Mr. R. Wood,
Druggist, at Erin, Ontario, and says : — I have been afflicted
with bronchial affections for several years, have used various
remedies, but they produced no good effects until I tried Allen's
Lung Balsam, from which I derived much good. I would
recommend its use to all parties suffering from similar troubles
or bronchial diseases.
Fresh Am —Give your children plenty of fresh air. Let them
snuff it up until it sends the rosy current of life dancing joyfully
to their temples. Air is so cheap and good, and so necessary
withal, that every child should have free access to it. To put
children on a short allowance of fresh air, is as foolish as it
would have been for Noah, during the deluge, to have put his
family on a short allowance of water.
DR. HERRICK'S
KID STRENGTHENING PLASTERS
are a combination, of Vegetable Gums, Balsams, Juices, and
Resins, with IRON, the whole formed to make a plaster that
will be pliable, and, therefore, comfortable to wear on the person.
One of the principal recent improvements Dr. Herrick claims
over all other plasters is the addition of IRON, which his
plasters, and no others, contain. It is conceded by all intelligent
physicians that the principal vital force of the human system is
the IRON contained in the blood. This is derived chiefly from
the food we eat ; and if, from any cause, the necessary quantity
of IRON is not taken into the circulation, the whole system
suffers. This is a positive proof of the great value of IRON, and
is the great secret of the wonderful success of Dr. Herri ck's
Plasters in curing so many diseases, apparently unlike, by the
simple application of a plaster on the skin, the IRON being
taken into the system by absorption, and its magnetic influence
and electricity developed thereby.
First. — It is preeminently a great strengthening plaster, and
therefore used with most certain success in all cases of
debility, etc.
Second.— It is not a Porous Plaster, it is a great Absorbent
Plaster, causing a copious perspiration, which thus enables
the innumerable pores of the skin to absorb its virtues, and by
this means cures every kind of Pain and Aches, Acute and
Chronic Rheumatism, Lameness and Stiffness of the Joints,
Pains in the Side, Back, or any part of the Body, and in
Spinal Complaints it is used with the most surpassing success ;
and even in Curvature of the Spine it has done wonders. In
Hip Complaints its effect has been almost magical. Liver
Complaint, with the assistance of one or two doses of Herrick's
Sugar-Coated Pills, it has never been known to fail in producing
a cure.
Third. — It is a Nervine Plaster, possessing all the wondrous
and unparalleled virtues of IRON and its magnetic influences,
and will, therefore, be found of surpassing value in all nervous
complaints, such as Neuralgia, Tic Douloureux, Nervous
Tremors, deficiency of Physical Energy, and all complaints
arising from a derangement of the nervous system.
Fourth. — In the combination of IRON with its other invaluable
ingredients, it is self-evident that it must be of unrivalled benefit
in Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Oppression of the Lungs, Weakness
of the Chest or Back, and all those dangerous complaints that
lead to Consumption.
Lastly. — To Delicate Ladies, for weakness and many of
those distressing complaints to which Females are especially
liable, Herrick's Iron Plasters are invaluable, which will be
evident on reflection, as no preparation or article is so necessary
in all cases of Female Weakness as IRON.
Herrick's Iron and Galbanum Plasters will maintain their
virtues for years, and keep unimpaired in any climate.
FOOD FOE INFANTS.
In laying before our readers so large an infant's dietary to
choose from, we beg to remind them babies require simplicity in
food — a child a greater variety. If you find any one of the many
articles or diet given below to agree with the babe, keep to it.
Great care andattention should be observed on preparing any of
these articles of diet. A babies stomach is very delicate, and
will revolt at either ill-made or lumpy or burnt food.
Boiled Crumbs of Bread.
Boil the crumb of bread for two hours in water, taking
praticular care that it does not burn ; then add only a little lump
sugar (or brown sugar if the bowels arc costive) to make it
palatable. When the babe is five or six months old, mix a little
new milk — the milk of one cow — with it. Gradually, as the
Child grows older, increase the quantity until it is nearly all
milk, there being only enough water to boil the bread : the
milk should be poured boiling hot on the bread.
Prepared Rice.
The following is a good and nourishing food for a baby :
Soak, for an hour, some best rice in cold water : strain, and
add fresh water to the rice ; then let it simmer, till it will pulp
through a sieve ; put the pulp and the water in a saucepan, with
a lump or two of sugar, and again let it simmer for a quarter
of an hour. A portion of this should be mixed with one-third
of fresh milk, so as to make it of the consistency of cream ;
when the baby is five or six months old, add new milk. If a
child's bowels are relaxed and weak or if the motions are
offensive, the milk must be boiled. For such a child put into five
large spoonsful of pure water one dessert spoonful of fine flour,
rubbed smooth; set over the fire five spoonsful of new milk,
and put two bits of sugar in it; the moment it boils pour it
into the water and flour, and stir it over a slow fire for twenty
minutes. Where there is much emaciation genuine arrowroot,
made with good fresh milk, slightly sweetened, and a small
pinch of salt, is excellent.
Baked Crumbs of Bread.
Crumb some bread on a plate, put it a little distance from the
fire to dry ; when dry, rub the crumbs in a mortar, and reduce
them to a fine powder ; then pass them through a sieve. Having
done which, put the crumbs of bread into a slow oven to bake
until they are of a light fawn-color. A small quantity of this
baked crumb of bread must be made into food, in the same way
as gruel is made, and should then be slightly sweetened with
lump sugor. This excellent food for a child is recommended by
Mr. Cnavasse, in his tl Advice to a Mother "
HARVELL'S CONDITION POWDER.
The great reputation Harwell's Horse and Cattle Powders
have gained amongst Horsemen and Stock Raisers, warrant us
in saying tiiat the consumer will find, upon trial, 1bat they
contain a larger quantity of VALUABLE MEDICINE than
there is in any other Powder offered for sale. Tweniy years
ago, Dr. Herrick & Co. commenced manufacturing those
Condition Powders. The satisfaction they have g ven, the
popularity they have obtained, and the estimation in which
they are held by stock-dealers is such that ninety thousand
dozen are annually required to supply the market. These
celebrated powders are a compound of vegetable remedies, so
combined that horses and cattle love them ; and when sick
will eat wet oats or provender, when these Powders are mixed
with them, which they would otherwise fail to touch.
Harvell's Condition Powder will cure all cases of
Worms— Loss cf Appetite— All Coughs and Colds— Recent Founders-
Horse Distemper— Hide Bound— Botts— Scurvy— Colic— Roughness
of Hair or Coat— Stoppage of Water and Bowels— Inflammation
of the Lungs and Bowels— Swelling of the Glands of the
Throat— Loss of Cud— Horn Distemper— Black Tongue-
Gripes— Gapes and Cholera in Poultry— Will backen
the Heaves, and in recent cases effect a cure.
Also first stages of Glanders and Farcy.
g@f° Harvell's Condition Powder may be used successfully in
all diseases of Horses, Cattle, Mules, Sheep, Hogs, Poultry, etc.,
by regulating the dose from a table-spoonful to a greater
quantity, according to age, condition, and severity of the case.
