The wonderful reputation of GEO. W. LAIRD'S " BLOOM OF YOUTH " is very justly deserved. P'or improving and beautifying the skin, it is undoubtedly the best toilet preparation in the world; it is composed of entirely harmless materi- als, and while the immediate effects are to render the skin a beautiful creamy white, it will after a few applications make it soft, smooth and beautifully clear; removing all blemishes and discolorations. This delightful toilet preparation has been severely tested by the Board of Health of New York City. Dr. Louis A. Sayres after carefully examining the analysis made by the above Board, pro- nounced "G.W. Laird's Bloom of Youth" HARMLESS AND ENTIRELY FREE FROM ANYTHING INJURIOUS TO THE HEALTH OR SKIN. Beware of Counterfeits. Ask your Druggist for Geo. W. Laird's "Bloom of Youth." The genuine has the United States Revenue Stamp engraved on the front label, and the name, " G. W. Laird," blown in the glass on the back of every bottle. Sold by all Druggists and Pancy G-oods Dealers. Valuable Recipes — Puddings and Pies.

Stir in half pint of the best white sugar, pow- dered, and half a gill (or four large tablespoonfuls) of molasses.

When all is done add a small teaspoonful of essence of vanilla, and transfer the mixture to shallow tin pans, slightly greased with very nice sweet oil.

Musk-Melon Pickles.— Take them when just ripe; pare and slice about an inch and a half thick; pnt them in alum-water ; let them stand one night. Take out and drain well. Allow three pounds of sugar to three pints of good vinegar; boil well and skim ; pour over the melons, drain oflf the sirup, heat and pour back nine mornings ; the last time add cinnamon and cloves to suit the taste. Boil the sii'up down just enough to cover the pickles. To Keep Tomatoes— Take fine ripe tomatoes, and wipe them dry, taking care not to break the skin. Put them into a stone jar with cold vinegar, adding a small thin muslin bag filled with mace, whole cloves and whole peppers. Then cork the jar tightly with a cork that has been dipped in melted rosin, and put it away in a dry place. Tomatoes pickled in this manner keep pefectly well, and retain their color. For this purpose use the small round button tomatoes, French Mustard— As prepared by Commodore Collins, U.S. Nary Boil together one quart good vinegar, one and a half tablespoonful salad oil, half teaspoonful salt, two or three cloves of garlic, for ten or fifteen minutes, strain and pour over one pound of ground mustard, while hot, and beat it until perfectly smooth and free from lumps, cover it up in glass vessel, it will keep for years and improve with age. To Mix Mustard.— Mustard should be mixed with water thafhas been boiled and allowed to cool ; hot water destroys its essential pro- perties, and raw cold water might cause it to ferment. Put the mustard in a cup, with a small pinch of salt, and mix with it very gradually sufficient boiled water to make it drop from the spoon without being watery. Stir and mix well, and rub the lumps well down with the back of a spoon, as mustard properly mixed should be perfectly free from these. The mustard-pot should not be more than half full, or rather less, if it will not be used for a day or two, as the mustard is so much better when fresh made. Horseradish.— It may not be generally known that if leaves or litter be placed on the tops of horseradish crowns two feet or so thick, the plants grow through them in the course of the summer, making small white roots the thickness of one's finger, which are as tender as spring radishes, and much to be preferred to the tough, stringy stuff usually supplied with our roast beef. Horseradish Sauce for Roast Beef.— The horseradish must Tbe well washed, brushed and scraped ; grate two tablespoonfuls and put into the tureen with a teaspoonful of salt, a teaspoonful of mustard in powder, and two tablespoonfuls of cream; when these are well mixed, add gradually four tablespoonfuls of vinegar. Horseradish Vinegar.— Put into a jar four ounces of grated horseradis, a teaspoonful of Cayenne, two teaspoonfuls of salt, and one tablespoonful of mustard ; pour over them a quart of boiling vinegar, and set the covered jar by the fire for a fortnight ; then boil up,the vinegar, let it cool, strain through a jelly-bag, and bottle. It is an excellent relish for salads, cold meats, etc. To Make Mustard.— Mustard is considered to be one of the most wholesome of condiments. It is always best to prepare it in small quantities, and send it up quite fresh. It should be smoothly blended with milk or cream, to which a small portion of salt may be added, till reduced to the proper consistence. If required piquant, vinegar or horseradish vinegar may be substituted for the milk. The only Antidote for Chills and Fever is Kress Fever Tonic. The proprietors warrant a cure or refund the money.

Tomato Catsup— Take ripe tomatoes and scald thena just suf- ficient to allow you to take otithe skin ; then let them stand lor a day covered with salt; strain theiu thoroughly to remove the seeds; then add to every two quarts three ounces of cloves, two of black pepper, two nutmegs, and a very little Cayenne pepper, with a little salt; boil the liquor for half an hour, and ihen let it cool and settle ; add a pint of the best cider vinegar, after which bottle it, corking and sealing it tightly. Keep it always in a cool place. Another Way.— Take one bushel of tomatoes and boil them until they are soft; squeeze them through a fine wire seive, and add half a gallon of vinegar, a pint and a half of salt, two ounces of cloves, quarter of a pound of allspice, two ounces of Cayenne pepper, three teaspoonfuls of black pepper, five heads of garlic, skinned and separ- ated. Mix together, and boil about three hours, or until reduced to about one-half; then bottle, M^lthout straining. Good Vinegar— To every gallon of wat*r,add one pound of brown sugar, one gill of yeast, mix the sugar and water together, and boil and skim well; then let it cool and add one gill of whisky and a piece of brown paper. Keep in warm place till sour. To Make Vineoar— Boil slowly, for one hour, three pounds of very coarse brown sugar in three gallons of water, work it with a little yeast, the same as you would beer ; then put it into a cask, and ex- pose it to the sun, paste a piece of brown paper over the bung-hole, it will soon become tine vinegar, fit for pickling or any other purpose. To Make Good Vinegar— One pint of strained honey, and two gallons of soft water. Let it stand in a moderately warm place. In three weeks it will be excellent vinegar. To Keep Cider Sweet— To every thirty gallons of cider add half a pound of unground mustard seed, either enclosed in a small cloth bag or loose. Another— To every forty gallons of cider add one pound of sulphite of lime. Add in both cases, the articles when the cider is worked to suit the taste. Receipt For Cttkr.\nt Wine.— Currants four pounds ; sugar three pounds ; water one gallon. Pla<;e the currants, steins and ail, in a tub and mash them well ; add the water ; set in a cool place, and stir occasionally ; continue the stirring for three days ; then drain the li- quor through a sieve, squeeze the pulp in a cloth, add the sugar, (stir- ring until it is dissolved,) and put into a barrel or cask, which should stand in a dry cool cellar. Wlien fermentation is over, bung up tight and leave all winter. Rack off in spring before second fermentation, and bottle after second fermentation. Blackberry Wine.— The following is said to be an excellent re- ceipt for the nianufacture of superior wine from blackberries ; Meas- ure your berries and bruise them, to every gallon add one quart of boiling water. Let the mixture stand twenty-four hoiu's, stirring occasionally, then strain off the liquor into a cask, to every gallon add two pounds of sugar ; cork tight, and let stand till following Octo- ber, and you will have wine ready for use, without any further strain- ing or boiling, that will make lips smack as they never smacked under similar influence before.

An Excellent Apple Jelly.— Cut two pounds of sweet apples into quarters, without peeling, throwing them into cold water as you cut tlieni. Then put them into a preserving-pan, with a quart of fresh cold water, and boil till they become a pulp, adding as the apples boil, one pound of loaf sugar, and a little extract of vanilla. Then run it tlirough a jelly bag; it must stand some hours to allow it to pass through completely. It must then be simmered over the fire twenty minutes, to jelly, and poured into the mould. Red Currant Jelly.— This most indispensable article of the store-room rarely fails to be successfully made by any tolerably care- ful cook, the process is so simple. Put the fruit, quite ripe, over the ftre in an enameled pan, and stir them till the juice begins to flow freely, then strain it tlirougli a jelly-bag, and return the juice to the pan; boil it for twelve or fifteen minutes, and add fine loaf sugar, one pound toeaclipint of juice; stir it till dissolved and five minutes longer then pour out the jelly into small pots or glasses. Strawberry or Raspberry Jelly .—Get fine-colored, fresh, ripe fruit, and put over the fire at a sufficient distance for the Juice to flow slowly; but do not allow it to run longer than it is perfectly clear, probably twenty minutes; then run it through a jelly-bag without pressing. If the juice is at all turbid, strain it again through muslin into the pan, and simmer it a quarter of an hour; then add one pound of fine sugar to each pint of the Juice, and boil it ten minutes longer. Strawberries, Preserved Whole.— Take equal weights of strawberries and loaf sugar, put the sugar into a pan with merely sufficient water to dissolve it, and let it boil till the surface is covered with small bubbles ; this will probably be in about twenty minutes ; then put in the fruit, with one pint of red currant juice to each pound of strawberries, which improves the color ; allow it to boil five minutes, then put into small jars. It is not necessary Xo use more sugar for the currant-juice, the strawberries being of themselves so sweet. Red currants or raspberries, with the addition of white cur- rant-juice, black currant, apricot, or other jams, may be made in this way. The advantage over the old process is, that the quantity of jam is greater, the color finer, and the flavor of the fruit perfectly retained. Peach Marmalade.— Pare, divide and stone the fruit, and boil for half an hour, stirring it continually ; then add three-quarters of a pound of sugar to each pound of the fruit, and one-fourth of the kernels blanched, and boil up for a quarter of an hour ; the m^arma- lade will then be ready for the pots. CEMENTS AISTD FUXJIT ^WAX. Cement for Sealing up Fruit.— Take rosin and brick dust, a sufficient quantity; after melting the one stir in the other. Be careful and not put in too much rosin, or the cement will not hold, and see that the brick dust is finely powdered. Transparent Cement.— A very strong, transparent cement, ap- plicable to wood, porcelain, glass, stone, etc., may be made by rubbing togetlier in a mortar two parts of nitrate of lime, twenty-five parts of water, and twenty parts of powdered gum arable. The surfaces to be united are to be painted with the cement, and bound together until completely dry. Engorgement produces inflammation.
