 EECEIPTS, &C. 
 
 Peach Jam, or Marmalade. — The fruit for this preserve must be quite 
 ripe and perfectly sound. Pare, stone, Aveigh, and boil it quickly for 
 three-quarters of an hour, and do not fail to stir it often during the 
 time ; draw it from the fire, and mix with it ten ounces of well-refined 
 sugar, rolled or beaten to powder, for each pound of the peaches ; clear it 
 carefully from the scum and boil it briskly for five minutes; add the 
 strained juice of one or two good lemons ; continue the boiling for three 
 minutes only, and pour out the marmalade. Two minutes after the 
 sugar is stirred to the fruit add the blanched kernels of part of the 
 peaches. 
 
 Apple Custard Pies. — Grate, or stew to a pulp, twelve large apples ; 
 to this add a tablesponful of salt, sugar, nutmeg, three eggs well beaten, 
 a pint of cream or milk and a teaspoonful of melted butter, the grated 
 rind of two lemons and the juice of one ; pour the mixture into plates 
 lined with rich paste, and arrange strips in a network over the top ; 
 bake a light brown, and sift over them powdered sugar. 
 
 Derby Short Cake. — Rub half a pound of butter into one jDound of 
 flour, and mix one egg, a quarter of a pound of sifted sugar, and as 
 much milk as will make a paste. Roll this out thin, and cut the cakes 
 with any fancy shapes or the top of a wineglass. Place on tin plates ; 
 strew over with sugar, or cover the top of each with icing, and bake for 
 ten minutes. 
 
 To Increase the Sharjyness and Strength of Vinegar. — Boil two quarts 
 of good vinegar till reduced to one ; then put it in a vessel, and set it 
 in the sun for a week, Now mix the vinegar, with six times its quantity 
 of bad vinegar, in a small cask ; it will not only mend it, but make it 
 strong and agreeable. 
 
 Death to House Flies. — The following mixture is recommended as 
 "sure death" to house flies : Half a spoonful of black pepper in powder, 
 one teaspoonful of cream and a teaspoonful of sugar ; mix them well 
 together, and place them in a room where the flies are troublesome, and 
 they will soon disappear. It Avon't cost much to try it. 
 
 Removing Grease Spot.s out of Silk. — Take a lump of magnesia, and 
 rub it wet over the spot ; let it dry, then brush the powder off", and the 
 spot will disappear; or, take a visiting card, sejiarate it, and rub the 
 spot w'ith the soft internal part, and it will disappear without taking the 
 gloss off" the silk.

 Stop gulping down pills, and use Hambaugli's Cathartic and Liver 
 Syrup, which is pleasant to take, and much better in its results. 
 
 A Owe for Low Spirltsi. — Exercise for the body, occupation for the 
 mind ; these are the grand constituents of health and happiness, the 
 cardinal points upon which everything turns. Motion seems to be a 
 great preserving principle of nature, to which even inanimate things are 
 subject ; f r the winds, waves, the earth itself, are restless, and the wav- 
 ing of trees, shrubs, and flowers is known to be an assential part of their 
 economy. A fixed rule of taking several hours' exercise every day, if 
 possible, iu the open air, if not, under cover, will be almost certain to 
 secure one exemption from disease, as well as from attacks of low spirits, 
 ennui — that monster who is ever waylaying the rich indolent. 
 "Throw but a stone, the giant dies." 
 
 Low spirits cannot exist in the atmosphere of bodily and mental 
 activity. 
 
 To Care RlieumatlnDi. — This awful disease is soon alleviated, and al- 
 most invariably cured by the use of "Hambaugh's Celebrated Plan- 
 tation LiNiBiENT." The body should be kept warm by wearing a 
 goodly quantity of woolen clothes, and the afilicted parts well saturated 
 with the Liniment at least twice or three times a day. And as often as 
 convenient, heat the medicine well in with a hot iron or fire shovel. 
 This receipt will cure ninety-nine cases out of a hundred. 
 
 Corn Beer. — Take a pint of corn, boil it until soft, and add to it a 
 gallon of water sweetened with a pint of brown sugar. Cork it tightly 
 and set it in a warm place, and put into it a small quantity of yeast if the 
 weather is cold. In warm weather omit the yeast. Add a few roots of 
 bruised ginger, and a few sliced lemons. The same corn will answer for 
 a year. When you j^our out a pitcherful of beer, put in one of sweet- 
 ened water. 
 
 Blachherrij Wine. — The following is said to be an excellent receipt for 
 the manufacture of superior wine from blackberries: Measure your 
 berries and bruise them, to every gallon adding one quart of boiling 
 water ; let the mixture stand twenty-four hours, stirring occasionally ; 
 then strain off the liquor into a cask, to every gallon adding two pounds 
 of sugar ; cork tight, and let stand till the following October, and you 
 will have wine ready for use, without any further straining or boiling, 
 that will make lips smack as they never smacked, under similar influ- 
 ence before. 
 
 Baked Pears. — Take half a dozen fine pears ; peel, cut them in halves, 
 and take out the cores, put them into a pan with a little red wine and 
 some cloves, half a pound of sugar and some water ; set them in a 
 moderate oven till tender, then put them on a slow fire to stew gently ; 
 add grated lemon-peel, and more sugar, if necessary ; they will be suffi- 
 ciently red. 
 
 Sore Throat. — The worst case of Sore Throat may be cured in one 
 night, by using a gargle made by heating together in a cup, 1 table- 
 j spoonful of honey, 2 tablespoonfuls of vinegar, 1 tablespoonful of but- 
 ter, and water enough to make half pint. Also add one red peper : steep

 awhile on the fire and use. After which rub the neck thoroughly with 
 Plantation Liniment, and you are cured. In fact, the gargle is seldom 
 if ever necessary, as the Liuiment itself will cure it. 
 
 Corn Starch Pudding. — Stir three or four tablespoonfuls of starch into 
 a pint of boiling milk, and when quite thick take it from the fire and 
 set it aside to cool. Then mix with it half a pound of sugar, a quarter 
 of a pound of butter, and eight eggs beaten separately and light, and 
 beat all well together. Season with essence of lemon. 
 
 Kempton Pudding, — One pint of sour milk; half a cup of cream ; 
 one egg; one cup of blueberries ; a little salt and saleratus; flour 
 enough to make a stifl' batter; steam two hours. 
 
 Frozen Peaches. — Pare and slice close. Beat rich cream (or condens- 
 ed milk) with powdered sugar and white of an egg, first beaten to froth. 
 Put peaches in freezer, pour prepared cream over. Leave as in making 
 ice-cream. A delicious dish. 
 
 Bottle Cement for Wines and Cordials. — Take half-pound of black 
 rosin, half-pound of red seaiiug-wax, and a quarter of an ounce of bees- 
 wax. Melt them all together in a pipkin, or iron pot. When it froths 
 up before all is melted, stir it with a tallow-candle, which will settle the 
 froth until all is melted and fit for use. 
 
 Corn Beer. — Boil a pint of corn till it is soft and add to it one ])iut of 
 molasses and one gallon of water. Shake them well together in a jug 
 and set it in a warm place. In twenty-four hours a nice beer will be 
 produced. When this is gone add more molasses and water. The corn 
 will answer for several weeks. A little yeast occasionally forwards fer- 
 mentation. 
 
 To Cure Neuralgia. — To cure Neuralgia, all that is necessary, is to 
 make a free use of Hambaugh's Plantation Liniment. 
 
 Straivherry Jam. — Allow equal vv'cights of pounded loaf sugar and of 
 strawberries; mash them in the preserving pan, acd mix the sugar well 
 with it; stir, scum, and boil it for twenty minutes. 
 
 JoJuwij Calcc. — There are as many johnny cakes as there are cooks. 
 Hundres of corn messes are made up, and called by their makers johnny 
 cake, every one as like a genuine johnny cake as a mud-turtle is like a 
 king — not much more so. 
 
 To construct a legitimate, good corn cake of this name, scald coarsely 
 ground yellow corn-meal. Stir in an even teaspoonful of salt and two 
 spoonfuls of any cooking fat to each pound of meal. jMake the batter 
 so stift' that it will lift heaping on a spoon. Have a dripping-pan as hot 
 as it can be handled, and well greased. Lay in the batter an inch thick, 
 and bake in a quick oven till the crust is a rather dark, rich brown. 
 
 How they Wash. — In the way of getting uj) linen and other dainty 
 fabrics, there are none who can beat the Dutch. In their own country 
 they use no machines — borax is the magic word. This article, refined, 
 is liberally employed as a powder instead of soda, in the proportion of

 Dyspepsia, Indisgestion, Liver Complaint, Affections of the Kidney 
 and Bladder, Spleen &c., are cured by Hambaugh's Cathartic and Liver 
 Syrup. Try it. 
 
 Cleaning Tinware. — No acids shoulds be employed to clean tin-ware, 
 because they attack the metal and remove it from the iron on which it 
 forms a thin coat. We refer to articles made of tinplate, which consists 
 of iron covered with tin. Rub the article first with rotten stone and 
 sweet oil, then finish with whitening and a piece of soft leather. Arti- 
 cles made wholly of tin should be cleansed in the same manner. In a 
 dry atmosphere planished tin-ware will remain bright for a long period, 
 but they soon become tarnished in moist air. 
 
 Night Air. — An extraordinary fallacy is the dread of night air. 
 What air can we breathe at night, but night air? The choice is between 
 pure night air from without and foul air from within. Most people 
 prefer the latter. An unaccountable choice. What will they say, if it 
 is proved to be true that fully one-half of all the disease we suffer from 
 is occasioned by people sleeping with their windows shut? An open 
 window, most nights in the year, can never hurt any one. This is not 
 to say that light is not necessary for recovery. In great cities, night air 
 is often the best and purest air to be had in the twenty-four hours. 
 I could better understand shutting the windows in town during the day 
 than during the night, for the sake of the sick. The absence of smoke, 
 the quiet, all tend to make night the best time for airing the patient. 
 
 One of our highest medical authorities on consumption and climate, 
 has told me that the air in London is never so good as after ten o'clock 
 at night. Always air your room then from the outside air, if possible. 
 Windows are to open, doors are made to shut — a truth which seems ex- 
 tremely difficult of apprehension. Every room must be aired from with- 
 out — every passage from within. But the fewer passages there are in a 
 hospital, the better. 
 
 How to Prevent a Coiv from Kicking while Milking. — Take a linen 
 cloth, wet it in cold water, and just before you commence milking, lay it 
 on their loins wet. Those who have tried it say that a cow will not kick 
 so long as the cold wet cloth remains on her back 
 
 A Cooling Drink. — As nearly every person is inquiring for some cool- 
 ing drink during this hot weather, we give the following recipe for a 
 refreshing and invigorating beverage, which has been recommended by 
 an eminent physician. It is an effervescing drink, but far better than 
 soda-water, as the effervescene is much more slow : Two ounces of tar- 
 taric acid, two pounds of white sugar, the juice of half a lemon, and 
 three pints of water. Boil them together five minutes, and when nearly 
 cold add the whites of three eggs, well beaten, with half a cup of flour, 
 and half an ounce of wintergreen or other flavoring. Bottle and keep

 of water, and add one quarter of a teaspoonful of soda, stir it and then 
 drink. 
 
 Hamhaugli's Cathartic and Liver Syrup Cleanses the system, purifies 
 the blood and sets the machinery of the human body in good repair, and 
 starts it to going. And all that is necessary to keep it in motion, and in 
 a healthy condition, is to occasionally resort to this Syiup. The afflicted 
 should all try it and test its magic virtues. 
 
 Broiled Mutton Cutlets. — Take the best end of a neck of mutton, 
 which will give seven chops, saw four inches off the end of the upper 
 rib bone ; the piece thus trimmed oflT is used for broiled breast of mut- 
 ton. Saw off the chine bone, and cut the seven chops, clearing the meat 
 an inch off the end of each bone. Flatten them with a bat, and remove 
 the gristle from round the lean, and pare away the meat and skin from 
 the inside of each bone; this is to give the cutlets the required shape. 
 Sprinkle the cutlets on each side with two pinches of salt and one of 
 pepper, oil them slightly and put them on a gridiron over a brisk fire ; 
 cook them four minutes on one side and three on the other; dish up in 
 a circle and serve." 
 
 A Good Way to Keep Hams. — Wrap them in good, sweet hay, then in- 
 close them in a tight bag, and hang in the granary. The nicest cold ham

 cribed. 
 
 Neiv Potatoes, a la Francaise. — Skin, wash, and wipe dry some early 
 potatoes ; melt some butter in a stewpan ; when it is quite hot place the 
 potatoes in it, simmer them slowly, turn them occasionally, and when 
 done take them up and place them in another stewpan, with sufficient 
 fresh butter to form a sauce, shake them over the fire merely till the but- 
 ter is melted, arrange them in a dish, pour the butter over them and 
 strew a little fine salt upon them, serve as hot as possible. In Italy olive 
 oil is employed instead of butter, and is really preferable. 
 
 Cauliflower Omelette. — Take the white part of a boiled cauliflower after 
 it is cold, and chop it very small, and mix with it a sufficient quantity of 
 well-beaten egg, to make a very thick batter, then fry it in fresh butter, 
 in a small pan, and send it to the table hot. 
 
 Cholera Morbus. — This is a disease common to warm climates, and is 
 characterized by vomiting, purging coldness and cramps of the extrem- 
 ities, and violent griping. The following is a good receipt for its cure. 
 One tablespoonful of ground black pepper, one-half tablespoonful salt, 
 warm water one-half tumblerful, one-third tumblerful of cider vinegar. 
 Dose a tablespoonful every 15 to 20 minutes, until all is taken, or the 
 disease checked. Stir and mix well before taking each time. 
 
 Ocean Cake. — To one cup of milk add two cups of sugar ; one half 
 cup of butter ; the whites of five eggs, well beaten ; three cups of flour ; 
 two teaspoonsful of cream of tartar, and one of soda. Flavor to your 
 taste.

 Philosophical happiness is to want little and enjoy much ; vulgar hap- 
 piness is to want much and enjoy little. 
 
 Ice Cream. — We give the following as an excellent recipe for making 
 ice cream : Fresh cream one-half gallon ; rich milk one-half gallon ; 
 white sugar one pound. Dissolve the sugar in the mixture, flavor with 
 extract to suit your taste, or take the peel from a fresh lemon and steep 
 one-half of it in as little water as you can, and add this — it makes the 
 lemon flavor better than the extract — and no flavor will so universally 
 please as the lemon ; keep the same proportion for any amount desired. 
 The juice of strawberries or raspberries gives a beautiful color and flav- 
 or to ice creams; or about one-half ounce of essence or extracts to a 
 gallon. Have your ice well broken ; one quart of salt to a pail of ice. 
 About half an hour's constant stirring and occasional scraping down 
 and beating together, will freeze it. The old fashioned freezer will make 
 very smooth and nice ice cream. 
 
 Home C heerf Illness. — Many a child goes astray, not because there is a 
 want of prayer or virtue at home, but simply because home lacks sun- 
 shine. A child needs smiles as much as flowers need sunbeams. Chil- 
 dren look little beyond the present moment. If a thing pleases they are 
 apt to seek it ; if it displeases they are prone to avoid it. If home is 
 the place where faces are sour, and words harsh, and fault-finding is ever 
 in the ascendant, they will spend as many hours as possible elsewhere. 
 Let every father and mother, then, try to be happy. Let them talk to 
 their children, especially the little ones, in such a way as to make them 
 happy. 
 
 Wi7iter Bales. — Never go to bed with cold or damp feet. In going in- 
 to a colder air, keep the mouth resolutely closed, that by compelling the 
 air to pass circuitously through the nose and head,' it may become warm- 
 ed before it reaches the lungs, and thus prevent those shocks and sudden 
 chills, which frequently end in pleurisy, pneumonia, and other serious 
 forms of disease. Never sleep with the head in the draught of an open 
 door or window. Let more covering be on the lower limbs than on the 
 body. Have an extra covering within easy reach in case of a sudden 
 and great change of weather during the night. Never stand still a mo- 
 ment out of doors, especially at street corners, after having walked even 
 a short distance. Never ride near the open Avindow of a vehicle for a 
 single half-minute, especially if it has been preceeded by a walk; valu- 
 able lives have thus been lost, or good health permanently destroyed. 
 Never put on a new boot or shoe in the beginning of a walk. 
 
 Erysipelas, Chronic Eruptions, Chilblains, Corns, Tetter and Ring- 
 worms are all easily cured by using Hambaugh's Plantation Lini- 
 ment, the Lion of Medicines. 
 
 For the Sick — Restorative Jelbj. — Take a leg of well-fed pork, just as 
 cut up, beat it, and break the bone. Set it over a gentle fire, with three 
 gallons of water, and simmer to one. Let half an ounce of mace, and 
 the same of nutmegs, stew in it. Strain through a fine sieve. When 
 cold, take off" the fat. Give a chocolate cup the first and last thing, and 
 at noon, adding salt to suit the taste. This is very valuable in all cases 
 of debility where animal food is admissible.

 Hambaugh's Plantation Liniment is the Lion of Medicines. 
 
 Vegetable Soup. — Take one potato, one turnip, and one onion, with a 
 little celery or celery seed. Slice and boil for half an hour in one quart 
 of water. Salt to the taste, and pour the whole upon a piece of dry 
 toast. This forms a good substitute for animal food, and may be used 
 when the latter would be improper. 
 
 Lying in Bed. — It is often a question among people who are unac- 
 quainted with the anatomy and physiology of men, whether lying with 
 head exalted or on a level with the body is the most unwholesome. 
 Most, consulting their own case on this point, argue in favor of that 
 which they prefer. Now, although many delight in bolstering up their 
 heads at night, and sleep soundly without injury, yet we declare it to be 
 a dangerous habit. The vessels in which the blood passes from the heart 
 to the head are always lessened in their cavities when the head is rest- 
 ing in bed higher than the body ; therefore, in all diseases attended with 
 fever, the head should be pretty nearly on a level with the body; and 
 people ought to accustom themselves to sleep thus, and avoid danger. 
 
 Hambaugh's Champion Grease Exterminator is considered the very 
 best now in use. It extracts grease, paint and spots, from the finest 
 silk or linen, without coloring it in the least. No lady or gentleman 
 should be without it. And in itict every family should keep it in the 
 house. For sale by all Druggists and Grocers. 
 
 Ch.im Acacia Restorative. — Take two ounces of pure white gum Arabic, 
 procure the lump, the powdered is very apt to be adulterated — pulverize 
 it well, and dissolve by the aid of a gentle heat in a gill of water, stir- 
 ring constantly. When it is entirely dissolved, add three tablespoonfuls 
 of pure strained honey. Let it remain over the fire until it becomes of 
 the consistence of a jelly. The heat must be very gentle; it must not 
 boil. If desirable, flavor with lemon or vanilla. This will be found a 
 very pleasant article of diet for delicate stomachs. When the articles 
 used are pure, it will be transparent and of a light golden color. This 
 will be borne by the weakest stomach, when every thing else is rejected. 
 It is highly nutritiov.s. . ' 
 
 Sponge Cake. — No better recipe for ordinary use can be obtained than 
 the following: one cup of sugar, one cup of sweet milk, one egg, two 
 teaspooufuls of cream of tartar, one third cup of butter, and two cups 
 of flour. Flavor with one half teaspoonful of the essence of lemon. 
 
 Lemon Extract. — Both lemon and orange rinds make good extracts — 
 allow two ounces of strongly flavored rinds to half a pint of alcohol ; 
 adding a few drops of the oil will greatly improve the extract. 
 
 Corn Pudding. — Can't any one make "mush ?" Yes, very likely, 
 after a fashion ; at least we should think a great many of the meal 
 messes we have tasted were manufactured by parties not overstocked 
 with wisdom in that direction — lumpy, salvy, slushy, scorched stuff, tast- 
 ing like raw corn slightly smoked. That is not pudding such as Chris- 
 tians ought to eat. To make it good, the meal should first be mixed 
 with warm water into a thin batter, and vigoi'ously stirred until no

 Passion is the drunkenness of the mind, and therefore, in its present 
 working, not always controllable by season. 
 
 symptom of a lump remains. Having the water in your kettle boiling 
 moderately, pour in the batter gradually, stirring vigorously all the 
 while, and continue the stirring for a quarter of an hour ; then set the 
 kettle back, and cook slowly another hour. Then you will have good 
 pudding. 
 
 The Lion of Medicines. — Hambaugh's Celebrated Plantation Liniment, 
 is justly and properly termed the "Lion of Medicines." Its wide 
 spead reputation is fast sweeping over our continent, and it is becoming 
 a household word throughout our whole land. Disease and corruption 
 flee before it and writhe within its grasp, as do the victims of the fero- 
 cious Lion of the African forest. Mr. Hambaugh warrants every bot- 
 tle to give entire satisfaction, or he will return the money. 
 
 Dressing for Slaw. — Boil half a pint of cider vinegar with a lump of 
 nice fresh butter, ^the size of an egg ; cut in four bits, and roll it in 
 flour. When boiled, pour into it the beaten yolks of three eggs, and 
 pour hot over finely chopped cabbage ; add salt and peper. 
 
 Ginger Cookies. — One cup molasses; one cup sugar; one cup butter; 
 one half cup lard ; one half cup butter milk ; one and a half large tea- 
 spoonfuls soda ; one egg ; one tablespoonful ginger ; knead soft, cut in 
 squares, and bake in a quick oven. Excellent. Try it. 
 
 Apple Custard Pie — The Nicest Pie ever Eaten. — This recipe is hardly 
 in season, but our readers can keep it for reference when needed. Peel 
 sour apples and stew until soft and not much water left in them ; then 
 rub them through a cullender ; beat three eggs for each pie to be baked, 
 and put in at the rate of one cup of butter and one of sugar for three 
 pies; season with nutmeg. One egg for each pie will do very well, but 
 the amount of sugar must be governed somewhat by the acidity of the 
 apples. Bake as pumpkin pies, which they resemble in appearance. 
 Dried apples are very nice by making them a little more juicy. You 
 can frost them, aud return them to the oven for a few moments, which 
 will improve their appearance. 
 
 Headache. — Headache is almost instantaenously cured by the use of 
 Hambaugh's Plantation Liniment. Try it. 
 
 Foul Cisterns. — The annoyance of foul smelling cistern- water is known 
 to most people. No "cleaning out" of the cistern seems to avail long 
 against it. It comes from decaying vegetable or animal matter from 
 the roof, and a simple and inexpensive remedy is found in the applica- 
 tion of an ounce of permanganate of potassa for every fifteen gallons of 
 water, which insures the chemical destruction of the offensive elements. 
 
 Corn Meal Pudding in Paste. — Beat the yolks of six eggs well ; add 
 to them three-quarters of a pound of butter which has been creamed, the 
 rind of one lemon and juice of two, sugar and nutmeg to your taste, 
 and two pounds of mush moderately warm. Bake in paste as lemon 
 pudding. It is very nice with preserves on the paste. 
 
 Variegated Pound Cake. — Beat to a cream three-fourths of a pound

 of butter and one pound of white sugar. Mix in with them the well- 
 beaten whites of sixteen eggs, and stir in gradually one pound of sifted 
 flour. Flavor Avith rose-water or lemon. Pulverize one drachm of 
 cochineal, the same quantity of alum, a drachm of soda and one of 
 cream of tartar ; pour over them two tablespoonfuls of boiling water, 
 and strain through a piece of thin muslin. Incorporate this thoroughly 
 with one-eighth of the batter. Pour into a buttered mould a layer of 
 white batter, and then a thin layer of the rose-colored batter, and pro- 
 ceed thus until all the batter is in. Finally pass a knife-blade four or 
 five times through the batter to variegate it finel}'. This quantity of 
 coloring is sufficient for two pounds of cake. 
 
 Ciirrant and Almond Cake. — A pound and a half of sugar, the same

 their own juice ; boil fifteen minutes, and season with butter and pep- 
 per; after taking up the hash, thicken the gravy with a yolk or two 
 of eggs. 
 
 Montgomery Pudding. — Take thin slices of sponge cake, and put into 
 a deep dish until it is half full. Grate over the cake the rind of a 
 lemon, squeeze the juice into the dish, and jwt in wine or brandy enough 
 to moisten the cake well. Then make a custard with milk, eggs and 
 sugar, and fill the dish, and set into a moderate oven and bake a light 
 brown. When it is done and cold, make an icing of whites of eggs and 
 sugar, as for cake, and spread over the top of the pudding thickly, and 
 brown it in the oven. Serve cold. 
 
 Gelatine Jelly without Boilijig or Straining. — To a package of gelatine 
 take a pint of cold water, the juice of three lemons, and the rind of one. 
 Let it stand an hour, and then add three pints of boiling water, a pint 
 of wine, and two pounds and a quarter of white crushed sugar. A wine- 
 glassful of brandy will improve the flavor. Pour into moulds, and set 
 in a cool place. 
 
 Hambaugh's Champion Grease Exterminator is pronounced the very 
 best cleanser now in use. It should be in every family. 
 
 Red Currant Pudding, Baked. — Red currant pudding may be made in 
 the usual way, with a pudding crust and boiled ; or it can be made by 
 pressing the fruit through a sieve, so as to free it from the pipes, which 
 are very disagreeable ; then, to a pint of pulp add two ounces of bread- 
 crumbs and a quarter of a pound of sugar ; put it into a tart-dish with 
 a rim of pufi*-paste ; serve with cream or custard. White currants may 
 be treated in the same manner. 
 
 Orange Cream. — Dissolve one ounce of isinglass and six ounces of 
 loaf-sugar in a pint of boiling milk, having first rubbed off' the rind of 
 five oranges with some of the lumps of sugar. Extract the juice of the 
 oranges, and then strain the isinglass and other ingredients into it ; add 
 one gill of cream, and the yolks of four eggs, which must be well beaten. 
 Pour the whole into a saucepan, warm it over the fire, but do not allow 
 it to boil ; pour into a basin and stir it until cold, before you put it into 
 a mould. 
 
 A receipt for coloring brown from materials which can be procured in

 goods ; add a very little copperas ; dip in the articles to be colored ; let 
 them remain about ten minutes ; wring them out, and then dip them into 
 a very weak lye — previously prepared — wring them out immediately, 
 and wash them in soap and soft water. 
 
 Sponge Pudding. — Three eggs, the weight of the eggs in sugar, butter, 
 and flour. One teaspoonful of cream tartar, and half teaspoonful of 
 soda dissolved in a little lemon. To be eaten with wine sauce.

 across the hand to get rid of the water. AVhen they are nearly dry,

 bucket of the slaked lime, and add one pound of whitening. Stir all 
 well together. A little "blue water" made by squeezing the indigo bag, 
 or a little pulverised indigo mixed with water, improves it. 
 
 Hambaugh's Plantation Liniment,^ alleviates more pains and aches, than 
 any other medicine manufactured in the world. Try it ! Try it ! ! 
 
 3fulled Tf me.— Take a bottle of Madeira or sherry wine, a pint and a 
 half of water, and put it to boil in a tea-kettle ; while the wine is boil- 
 ing, beat up the yolks of twelve eggs ; add one pound of fine white 
 sugar, and a grated nutmeg ; stir it all together ; beat the whites to a 
 froth, and beat it into the yolks ; when the wine is boiled, hold the tea- 
 kettle as high as possible, and turn the wine on, stirring the eggs con- 
 stantly ; then turn it from one pitcher to another until it is all mixed. 
 
 To Protect Horses' Hoofs.— Gntta, percha may be used to protect the 
 feet of horses from tenderness and slipping. It is first cut into small 
 pieces, and softened with hot water, then mixed with half its weight of 
 powdered sal ammoniac, and the mixture melted in a tinned saucepan 
 over a gentle fire, keeping it well stirred. When required for use, melt 
 in a glue pot, scrape the hoof clean, and apply the mixture with a knife. 
 
 Excellent Bread.— lAi^ seven pounds of best flour with three pounds of 
 pared boiled potatoes. Steam off the water and leave them a few min- 
 utes on the fire, mash them fine, and mix them whilst quite warm in the 
 flour with a spoonful or more of salt. Put a quart of water, milk warm, 
 with three large spoonfuls of yeast, gradually to the potates and flour. 
 Work it well into a smooth dough, and let it remain four hours before 
 it is baked. 
 
 How to Keep Butter Sweet for Fears.— The butter must be well churn- 
 ed and worked, and packed hard and tight in kegs of seasoned white 
 oak ; the head is then put in, leaving a small hole, in which brine is

 poured to fill the vacant space ; and of so much importance is it deem- 
 ed to prevent any bad taste, that the plug for the hole must not be made 
 of cedar or pine, but of cypress or bass wood ; as otherwise it would be 
 injured. After which, these kegs are placed in hogsheads well filled 
 with brine of full solution, that will bear an egg, which is then headed 
 up tight and close. By adopting this process, butter may be made to 
 keep in any climate. 
 
 Beautiful Experiment. — Fill a wide-mouthed glass jar with water, and 
 cover it over with a piece of "foundation" (the ladies will understand 
 this) ; cover that over with a layer of peas, pressing it down so that the 
 peas will lie in the water. They will then swell and sprout, the roots 
 growing down into the water, their fine fibres presenting a beautiful ap- 
 pearance. Set this in a window and vines will grow up which can be 
 conducted to the sill. The whole is very handsome.

 Good to Remember. — Our readers will do Avell to remember that Mr. 
 Hambaugh does not weary the public mind by putting before them a 
 long list of testimonials in regard to his Medicines. There has been, 
 and still is being so much fraud practiced in that direction, by quacks 
 and humbugs, that Mr. H. deems it beyond his sphere to follow in their 
 footsteps, and aspires to a more honorable and noble way of making 
 customers : which is by guaranteeing satisfaction in every instance ; 
 and by refunding of the money where parties are dissatisfied. Many 
 thousands of bottles of his preparation have been sold already on these 
 terms, and not the first instance has yet occured where he had to refund 
 the money. 
 
 Hooping Cough. — Take powdered cantharides, powdered camphor, of 
 each one scruple ; extract of bark, three drachms. Rub these well to- 
 gether, and divide into powders of eight grains each. Dose — one every 
 three or four hours. To be used only in advanced stages of the disease. 
 
 Short Crust for Sweet Pastry. — Work very lightly half a pound of 
 butter into one pound of flour, breaking it quite small ; add a little salt,

 two ounces of finely pulverized sugar, and sufficient milk to make it into 
 a perfectly smooth paste. Bake it slowly and keep it pale. 
 
 To Remove Tartar from the Teeth. — 1. Use the tooth-brush night and 
 morning, 2. Once every day rub the brush lightly two or three times 
 over a piece of soap ; then dip it in salt, and with it well clean the 
 teeth. 3. Eat freely of cress (the same as used with mustard), and 
 with salt only. If used for two or three consecutive days it will effectu- 
 ually lessen the tartar of long standing. 4. The same effect is pro- 
 duced by eating strawberries or raspberries. 
 
 For a Cough. — Roast a large lemon very carefully, without burning 
 it ; when it is thoroughly hot, cut and squeeze it into a cup, upon three 
 ounces of sugar, finely powdered. Take a spoonful whenever your cough 
 troubles you. It is as good as it is agreeable to the taste. Karely has 
 it been known to fail of giving relief. 
 
 Don't fail to try Hambaugh's Champion Grease Exterminator and 
 Cleanser. 
 
 To Cure Harns. — Take half a pound of bay salt, a quarter of a pound 
 of saltpetre, half a pound of common salt, two pounds of foot sugar, 
 half a pound of cake salt-prunella — mixed well together ; rub the hams 
 well, and keep them in pickle a month. 
 
 Bitters. — Take half an ounce of the yolk of fresh eggs, carefully 
 separated from the white ; half an ounce of gentian root ; one and half 
 drachms of Seville orange peel ; and one pint of boiling water. Pour 
 the water hot upon the above ingredients, and let them steep in it for 
 two hours ; then strain, and bottle for use. 
 
 Mnlled Ale. — Boil one quart of good ale with some nutmeg, beat up 
 six eggs, and mix them with a little cold ale, then pour the hot ale to it, 
 and return it several times to prevent it curdling; warm, and stir it 
 till sufficiently thick ; add a piece of butter, or a glass of brandy, and 
 serve it with dry toast. 
 
 Mustiness in Wine. — This is easiest removed by violently agitating the 
 wine for some time with a little of the sweetest olive or almond oil. A 
 little coarsly powdered fresh burnt charcoal, or even some slices of 
 bread, toasted black, will frequently have a good efiect. 
 
 To Clean and Polish Loohing Glasses. — Looking Glasses and glass 
 over pictures, can be cleaned with Hambaugh's Greas e Exterminator 
 and Cleanser, better than by any other known process. Saturate a piece 
 of sponge or cloth with the Cleanser and after rubbing the glass thor- 
 oughly, dry it ofl^ with soft paper.

 A Good Plum Cake. — An e(|ual weight of butter and flour, a quarter 
 of a pound of cut peels and citrons, double the weight of butter in cur- 
 rants, the grating of three lemons, and half a nutmeg, half an ounce 
 of pudding spice, one glass of brandy, and the same quantity of eggs 
 as the weight in butter ; beat your butter as for pound cake ; put in a

 contain one grain of calomel. Dose — from two to four early in the

 Simple Cholera Preventive. — An eminent physician says the surest pre- 
 ventive of the Asiatic cholera is sulphur; put half a teaspoonful of 
 flour-of-sulphur into each of your stockings and go about your business; 
 never go out with an empty stomach ; eat no fresh bread nor sour food. 
 This is not only a preventive in cholera, but also in many other epid- 
 emic diseases. 
 
 To Clean Marble. — Take two parts of common soda, one part of pum- 
 ice-stone, and one part of finely powdered chalk ; sift it through a fine 
 sieve, and mix it with water ; then rub it well all over the marble, and 
 the stains will be removed ; then wash the marble over with soap and

 THIS GREAT MEDICINE IS JUSTLY TITLED 
 
 THE LION OF MEDICINES 
 
 From the^^fact that it contain? the quintessonco of all otiier preparations as a pain killer, dis- 
 ease eradieator, Ac, and is truly one of the most wonderful medical diseoreries of the age; be- 
 ing the most perfect and elFectual remedy ever before offered to the public, for all diseases to 
 which a liniment is applicable. Its action upon the orsanization is indeed wonderful. Its 
 volatile, penetrating, soothina: and healingr properties ditfuse themselves to the very bone. It 
 enters the pores of the system, and penetrates immediately to the scat of the diseaae, and 
 Rives a new impulse to the whole nervous sv.'ftera, stimulates the absorbents and secretions, and 
 thus assists nature to throw off and ri<i herself of any diseased action of nerves, muscles, or lig- 
 aments, making it equally applicable to sores of any kind, rheumatism, &c , and from a dis- 
 eased action of any of the structural portions of the system whatever. Possessing these pecu- 
 liar powers, is the reason why it is efficacious in so many different cases. 
 
 The proprietor, in bringing this Liniment before the public, asks only a fair and unpreju- 
 diced trial of the same, feeling confident from the unprecedented reputation which it has al- 
 ready attained through the different parts of the country wherein it has been introduced, that 
 those who use it will be much benefitted and doubly satisfied therewith. 
 
 This medicine is eiiually beneficial in all diseases of horses and other animals, and is war- 
 ranted to GIVE ENTIRE SATISFACTION in every instance, or money refunded. 
 
 Let all who have not used this wonderful medicine, give it a trial, and test the magic in- 
 fluence of its virtues.

 A MOST REMARKABLE PUriGATIVE AND LIVER MEDICINE ! 
 
 Stop Gulping Down Pills and Use This Syrup. 
 
 For Dyspepsia, Headache, Jaundice, Costiveness, Camp Dysentery, Sick Head- 
 ache, Chronic Diarrhoea, Affections of the Bladder and Kidneys, 
 Fever, Nervousness, Chills, Diseases of the Skin, 
 Impurity of the Blood, Melancholy or 
 Depression of Spirits, this 
 Medicine is 
 
 Most of the ailments here emimcrated have their origin in a diseased Liver, which is the 
 most prevalent affection in this country, and as iu many eases the patient is not within reach 
 of a physician, it requires that some remedy should be provided that would not in the least 
 impair the constitution, and yet be active and safe. That such is the character of Hambaugh's 
 Litre Syrup, there can be no doubt, which the testimony of hundreds will establish. 
 
 SYMPTOMS OF A DISEASED LIVER. 
 
 Pain in the side. Sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade ; is sometinjes mis- 
 taken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appetite and sickness, 
 bowels in general are costive, sometimes alternating with lax; the head is troubled with pain, 
 accoinpanied with a dull, heavy sensation. There is generally a considerable loss of memory, 
 accompanied with a painful sensation of having left undone something that ought to have 
 been done. A slight, dry cough is some times an attendant. The patient complains of weari- 
 I ness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a 
 prickly sensation of the skin ; his spirits are low, and although satisfied that exercise would be 
 beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he dis- 
 trusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend tlie disease, but cases have oc- 
 curred when few of tliem existed, yet examination of the body after death has shown the Liver 
 to have been extensively deranged. 
 
 It should be used by all persons, old and young, whenever any of the foregoing symptoms 
 appear. It is purely a vegetable compound, is not injurious to the most delicate constitution, 
 and will keep the Liver in healthy action if used properly- _ 
 
 Persons living in unhealthy localities may avoid all billious attacks by taking a dose occa- 
 sionally to keep the Liver iu healthy action. 
 
 For children complaining of colic, headache, or sick stomach, a small amount will give 
 relief. Children, as well as adults, eat sometimes too much supper, or eatsomething which does 
 not digest well, producing sour stomach, heartburn, or restlessness; a good dose will give re- 
 lief. This applies to persons of all ages. 
 
 Many persons, from eating too much, arc restless at night, or in day time are fidgety, wool- 
 gathering, can't understand what they read, can,'t keep their thoughts on any subject so as to 
 reason well, or become fretful. One or two tablespoonfuls will give relief. 
 
 Jaundice. — Take enough Syrup after eating each meal to produce one full action from the 
 bowels every day. 
 
 Pregnant ladies will find sure relief from their headache, costiveness, swimming in the 
 head, colic, sour stomach, restlessness, etc, etc. Prepared only by
