This is a dia mistake, every kind of stain requires a differ- k ent process, as every disease has its own ah remedy. We think it will be very useful to the: the reader to give below the manner of re- pla moving such stains as are most commonly tht met with. an For oil or butter stains take alcohol (3G or 38 per cent) saturated with camphor. 2 ?. 3 Wax stains, concentrated alcohol, or eiiiw. For stains of pitch, rosin or turpentine, use alcohol, genuine Eau de Cologne, or ether. For paint or varnish stains use benzine. For tar stains smear the stain in the first place with fresh melted butter, then remove the butter by means of alcohol saturated with camphor. For soot, grease with beef marrow, then use salts of sorrel to remove the stains. For coffee stains first wash, then expose the spot to sulphur vapors, which may be pro- duced by burning sulphur under a metallic or paper cone. To renew black clothing . removing all grease and drying use the following mix- ture : Logwood 4oz.,gum arabic 2 oz, sulphate of iron 2 oz. Boil the first two articles to- gether in seven gallons of water for half an hour, strain and allow it to cool before ad- ding the sulphate of iron. After twenly-four hours apply the mixture to the material with a brush always brushing in the direction of the nap. Then iron the cloth taking care to place a piece of thin dry cotton at first over the material, then replacing the dry cloth by a wet one and repeating the ironing process. 4 DR. SET’S REMEDY. Vit great French Remedy for dyspepsia, Bilious affections, constipation and all disea- ses of the stomach, liver and bowels. Almost all diseases arise from disorders of the digestive organs, those enjoying perfect digestion are never sick. This can be easily understood by considering the role of diges- tion in the human economy. It is through digestion that alimentary substances are converted into blood, flesh, muscles, nerves and bones ; and it is by means of digestion that the human system is nourished. If the bowels, stomach or liver, which are the principal organs of digestion, are out of order, lack of nutrition necessarily follows; and this defective nutrition is the cause of a host of diseases which often spring up in organs far removed, such as the brain, kid- neys, &c. This explains why dyspeptics are subject to sick-headache, neuralgia, consti- pation, and troubles of the urinary organs. At present it is admitted by Physicians, that diabetes and Bright’s disease generally arise from a derangement of the liver. It is then of the greatest importance to keep these digestive organs all in good order and to promptly remedy any disorders which may 5 arise. Dr. Sey’s Uemedy, (of Paris) is un- doubtedly the best known remedy for the prevention of any derangements of the diges- tive organs and the curing of any affections to which they may be subject. It is a remedy composed of the purest aromatics which sti- mulate the digestive organs, and which, far from weakening like most medicines, impart tone to, and strengthen the system. Further it contains a substance which acts directly on the bowels, so that in small doses, it prevents and cures constipation ; and in larger doses it acts as one of the best purga- tives. It is important to note that Dr. Sey's Remedy can be taken in any dose without disturbing the habits or regime of those who take it. DR. SEY’S REMEDY. Opinio?is of the French Press ...Experience has shewn that Dr. Sey"s Remedy cures all diseases of the stomach, liver and bowels which are not due to orga- nic affection. — U Univers. ...Those who are still dyspeptic, are so because they wish it as Dr. Sey's Remedy disperses all digestive troubles. — La Repu- hlique francaise. 6 'PiiA hp< 5 t. remedy for indigestion, and Opinions of the Canadian Press. jj. .. .Those who suffer from dyspepsia disor- ^ ders of the stomach or liver, constipation bile or wind on the stomach, are strongly recommended to make use ot Dr. Sey s Be- medy.

To do justice to Dr. Sey's Remedy, I should say that of all the medicines which I have used, none have given me so much sa- tisfaction as his preparation. Believe me your very devoted servant. Leon Ste. Marie. Mr. S. Lachance.— Sir, for several years I have suffered from violent attacks of head- ache arising from imperfect digestion. To day, after having used several bottles of Dr, Sey's Remedy, I am entirely cured of these attacks and my stomach digests well. I have also used the same remedy in my family, for indigestion, colics and flatulency ; and that always with success. Dr. Setfs Remedy is also an excellent purgative which acts with- out causing paiif, and which does not pre- vent one from going about their ordinary oc- cupations. D. C. Brosseau, 42, Notre Dame Street, Montreal. St. Benoit, County of Two Mountains, Feb. 1st. 1882. Mr. S. Lachance.— Sir, a thousand thanks for Dr. Sey's Remedy^ which I bought at your 8 Drug Store, it is a medicine which is worth ten times the prize you sell it for. With a sin- gle bottle, I cured myself of an affection of the stomach which prevented me from working ; I have in addition cured three of my children who suffered from bile and indi- gestion. it is the best purgative I have ever seen. Widow Joseph Leduc. M. Lachance.— Sir, it is with pleasure that I certify that Dr. Sey's Remedy which you sold me, has cured me of chronic constipation which had caused me much suffering. In addition,! have for some time suffered from heaviness of the head, Ac., due to my age ; these symptoms have disappeared after a few doses of the remedy . For ladies at the turn of life, there certainly is not a better me- dicine.

We hope the reader will acknowledge our readi- ness to furnish him with the means of mak- ing a superior tonic wine for the small sum of thirty cents for a pint and a half bottle containing 48 doses. Take a 25cts packet of Indigenous Bitters which can be had of all Druggists in the Do- minion, infuse it ip three half pints of boiling water : when cool strain and pass through the marc which remains in the strainer three bottles of sherry wine at from $1.75 to $2.00 per gallon. This wine is very valuable on account of its medicinal properties. It strengthens the stomach, increases the appetite, prevents or arrests nauseas, regulates the bowels and invigorates the whole system. If care be had to take it regularly in doses of at least one table spoonful before, or after meals it will prove of wonderful service to all whose sto-. 10 machs do not perform their proper and every one knows the importance of Iho stomach in the human orgauism.,As the In- digenous Bitters are only composed of planU, roots and barks, and contain no mineral drug nor any dangerous medicine ^liatsoever tills tonic wine may be administered wiAout the slightest inconvenience alike to the weaK '^^MpurfmTnolioe.—^o not lake aoV *•''‘"8 in place of the Indigenous Billers. If your Druggist has none ask him to get them for vou.*Without the true “ Indigenous Bitters, this receipt is worthless. And they are not sold by weight but only in 25 cts. packets. To make a cheap GLUE or cemenl of supe- rior qualily, which will remain perfeclly li- quid when cold and always ready for use.— Dissolve by the aid of a water bath (a vessel immersed in boiling water, but "Ot direct- lY over the fire) one pound of gelat me in a pint of water taking care to rep ace the water, lost by evaporation, by a >dtle hot water. When dissolved add httle by little 3 ounces (by weight) of nitric acid, 3G«. Before withdrawing from the Are allow all Ibe red- dish vapour to escape. Then bottle it. A very line white glue may thus be made by using superior gelatine, and a commoner quality for large articles may be made by using inferior gelatine or common glue. 11 To render leather impervious to snoip or water. — Dissolve together over a slow fire in an earthen pot, one ounce of yellow wax and half an ounce of nice mutton suet. When well mixed remove from the fire and while still hot, (but not boiling) spread it with a sponge, or a soft brusli on your boots, which should be left over night exposed to a gentle heat in order that the mixture may penetrate the leather. The next morning remove with a piece of flannel whatever has not been ab- sorbed by the leather after which you can blacken your boots ; after several days the leather will become as bright as it was before using this preparation. A new domestic beverage which is hecom- ing daily more and more popular. — Water as often met with is very unhealthy. But even when good, too much should not be taken, as there is danger of colic, which makes one regret not having been more abs- temious. However it is necessary to drink at times, and when the weather is very warm, the more one drinks the more one wants to drink, without being able to quench thirst. We give here a beverage easily made, and which costs next to nothing, one which quen- ches the thirst without producing any un- pleasant results ; on the contrary it makes a very healthy drink, and one which will save you much in the way of doctor’s bills. 12 To every 3 or 4 pints of cold water, steep ^ for a short while before drinking, a teaspoon- ful of the Indigenous Bitters. These Bitters c (if the Genuine, and not an imitation) contain ^|. roots of a warming nature, which render the water harmless. A 25 ctF. packet of the Indigenous Bitters will thus give you several hundred drinks, ^ agreable to the taste, and much more health- - ful than pure water as instead of injuring, - they stimulate the appetite, regulate the bowels, and strengthen the stomach, espc- cci dally when used regularly. To cool Water j and even freeze it in Sum- liiis — Wrap wet linen clothes around your fit water pitcher or caralTe, place it in a dish Is£ filled with water, so that the linen clothes will come into contact with the water : the evaporation of the liquid, even in the sun, will produce a continuous cooling of the water in i ^ the pitcher or carafie. The water in the dish must be renewed from time to time. If an intense degree of cold is ro:}uired in summer, the following refrigerant mixtures will readily produce the same : ■8 parts of sulphate of soda, in 5 parts of muriatic acid produce a temperature of 17® below zero. 2 parts of chopped ice (or snow), with one of ordinary salt give a temperature of 18® below zero. G of sulphate of soda, 7 of nitrate of am- 13 raonium and 4 of nitric acid, give a tempera^ ture of 26® btlow zero. 9 of phosphate of soda, and 4 of nitric acid, diluted with water, give a temperature of 29® below zero. On plonging a metallic vessel containing water into these mixtures, the water becomes congealed, and ice is formed. A NEW METHOD OF SAVING : — After reading so much matter of a serious nature since we commenced this book, we think a little amu- sement would not be amiss. Apropos of this I would like to make you acquainted with a very original method of saving which I saw published lately in a paper. “ There are two ways of saving, it is said, either surplus, or by avoiding losses. IVothing could prevent you from applying this prin- ciple to diet, if you are the father of a family or keep a boarding house. As far as the first method goes it IS too well known to need mention here. As lor the second which consists in the avoidance of losses, I wish to give you such advice as in the experience of many has been of groat service- Be careful, in the presence of your boarders, never to breathe a word, even a single word about “Indigenous Bitters,” because if they find out that there are any in your would bo desirous of trying them and if,unfortunately for you, they should happen to take them, :^u would behold your provisions melting away. That is a loss which you should avoid.” I, like yourself perhaps, followed this passage quite seriously up to the fatal words “ Indigenous - Bitters.” Arriving at this 1 grasped llie idea. Is not this an original method of making known the marvellous pro- perties of some preparation ? Whether or no, the axiom is very true, unfortunately lor those boardinghouse keepers who allow the famous “ Indigenous Bitters,” which are met with every where, to ceme under their roof. Were it an attempt to speak in favour of an article but little known, it might be allowable to play such a joke on the public ; but when it refers to a preparation so universally known as the “ Indigenous Bitters,” it is a clear case of malice. And shall we say that newspaper editors tolerate the like ? An easy method of combining the useful and agreabl©.— 1 clip again from the columns of a newspaper, another receipt which bears a certain analogy to the preceding one ; this one however contains no malice but is on the contrary, one from which some good may be drawn. I reproduce it : “ How often, dear reader, have you been warned not to take certain liquors for the sake of drinking and without any benefit to yourself ? Well there is a very easy method of rendering your beverage both useful and agroable whether it be a svrup or any other liquor. The secret is this Put, (or cause to be put) into each glass a teaspoonful or more of an infusion of “ Indigenous Bitters ” These Bitters which are only composed of roots and indigenous plants have the inestimable property of developing the appetite, facilitating the digestion and imparting strength to the stomach. They give a flavour to li- quors at first peculiar, but one which becomes most 15 agroable, as one becomes accustomed to it. This is then a good method of combining the useful with the agreable. ” “ That which makes this receipt even more valua- ble, is that the process required is the most oeono- mic possible, as you may see : The infusion of Indigenous Bitters is prepared as follows : Buy at your Druggists, for 25 cts. a packet of “ Indigenous Bitters ” Genuine) with which by heating like tea you can make three or four large bottles of Bitters similar to those which sell for a dollar at the Drug Stores, so that each bottle con- taining three half pints, will only cost you six or eight cents and with the money that you would pay for one bottle ready prepared you can yourself pre- pare twelve or fifteen. If you wish to try this receipt, insist upon having the genuine “ Indigenous Bitters, ** which are sold all over the Dominion. Try them and you will be sa- tisfied. ” In fact why should we not try them ? It will not cost us much and besides we have the beneiit of the suggestion from a medical point of view, which cannot be denied. To REMOVE SPOTS FROM THE SKIN. — To re- move the mask, freckles and other marks on the skin, nothing has yet come up to the “ Persian Lotion ” which is sold in every Drug store in the Dominion. The Persian Lotion ” is also the best preparation known for removing pimples and other eruptions of the skin. It is the true skin specific, this Persian Lotion. The enor- mous consumption of it is enough to prove its efficacy. It acts by destroying bad flesh and clearing the pores of the skin, of all foreign 16 bodies which it may contain. Its action is sure and harmless, as it is not a white powder suspended in water, which latter only serves to hide the spots, and to close more effectually the pores of the skin, instead of cleaning the same ; but it is a clear and limpid liquid and a real cure. This preparation only sells in fifty cents bottles. All others are counterfeits. Root beer. — -Take five pints of bran, oz hops, a few twigs of spruce, and four ounces of “ Indigenous Bitters,” (a 25cts packet), boil the whole for a quarter of an hour, in a little water, and strain. Add next a tea- spoonful of ginger, and molasses to sweeten to taste, also a quart of good yeast. Finally, add enough water to make 5 gallons. If you wish to use it at once, you can put one bottle in a warm place ; and the rest may be left to ferment at an ordinary tem- perature. This beer is both pleasant to the taste and good for the health on account of the medicinal properties of the roots which the Indigenous Bitters ” contain. The best Cement for Leather and Cloth . — Dissolve 2 oz gutta percha which you can buy at your Druggist for 20 cents an ounce, in a pound of bisulphide of carbon for which you will pay 40 or 50 cents. An article stuck with this cement, which has the advantage of being elastic, holds to^ gether as well as if sewn. 17 « PERSIAN LOTION ” Ar whitening the complexion, imparling or preserving its rosey hue, or removing freckles, the mask and other spots on the skin and for removing pimples and all other eruptions. “ The Persian Lotion ” is a bona fide pre- paration, unique of its kind. It is a true specific for the skin. Is not a white powder suspended in water, or perfume. Such kinds of toilet preparations only serve to tempora- rilly hide defects of the skin, by covering the latter with a sort of white veil which the first moisture of the skin will remove and which in addition never escapes the close observer. “ The Persian Lotion, ” on the contrary is a medicinal preparation, transpa- rent and limpid like water. It radically removes Pimples and other Eruptions, either by destroying the unhealthy skin, and the parasitic germs which produce tho same or inclosing the pores of the skin, so as to prevent the minute particles of blood or pur- ulent matter from exuding. It disperses freck- les and the masque by dissolving and remc> ving the particles of foreign matter which 18 when introduced into the pores of the skin produce these blemishes. It is not the skin which undergoes a change of colour but tha pores which become filled with the foreiga matter, which water will not dissolve, but Which IS removed more or less easily by the Persian Lotion ” in proportion to the age of such spots. “ The Persian Lotion „ WtiltGias tla© complexion gradually, after a persevering application by cleaning more and more thoroughly the pores of the skin and imparts to the skin that •harming rosey colour by causing the blood ‘'■'■ough the thousands of minute vessels, which traverse the human face to be perceived more freely through the pores of and frao r n'"*r Perfectly clean and free from foreign matter. When the skin is burnt by the sun, the Persian Lotion promptly restores its "r®?’ hue, by adding a tea- The “ Persian Lotion ” is sold in all res- centfper bou1e'‘°''®' Dominion, at 50 ^^'‘Beware of Imitations.'^ 19 If you want a good purgative and you have no time to loose, take at night on going to bed a wine glass full of Dr. Sey s Remedy t continuing the same for several days it ne- cessary. If you wish to restore to your cheeks that charming rose tint which they have lost, add every morning to the water used a teaspoonful of Persian Lotion. The effect is marvellous. One of the best remedies known for habi- tual constipation, is Dr. Sey' s Remedy, taken in the dose of a tablespoonful three times a day. For giving an appetite nothing can the “ Indigenous Billers,'' when taken reg larly. Dr. Seys Remedy, of Paris, cures dyspe^ sia, bilious affections, ‘ diseases of the stomach, liver and boweis.

I The most economic and at the same lime the most effectual stomachic, and aid to digestion. “ Indigenous Bitters” owe their popularity to the most important qualities which any medicinal preparations could have : an elli- cacy at all times certain, the absence of any dangerous ingredient and a moderate price. “ Indigenous Bitters ” consist of a combi- nation in exact proportions of a large num- ber of roots and barks, highly valuable, on account of their medicinal virtues, as tonics, stomachics, digestive and carminatives. They may be of the greatest service to those suflering from affections of the stomach, weakness, loss of appetite, indigestion, flatu- lency and other diseases of a like nature resul- ting^ from a disordered state of the stomach. -Indigenous Bitters” really contain no- thing dangerous or hurtful, no metallic salt or mineral medicine, in fact nothing could injure the constitution, by a too lonQ usage or excessive doses. It is a purely getable preparation, containing no ^ that too strong a dose though powerfully than that given in the direction, yet no mutter how large the quanUty whidi may be taken no dangerous results will follow. 28 “ Indigenous Bitters ” are tlie cheapest Bitters which have ever been offered to the public, because instead of buying a prepara- tion all ready put up one can buy the ingre- dients for making them at the market price. For instance, with a box of these bitters which cost 25 cts. you can make three or four bottles similar to those which sell for one dollar ; therefore with the money which you would pay for one bottle you can make twelve or lifteen. Indigenous Bitters ” is not one of these medicines sold to cure every thing, but a bo- na fide preparation prepared from the pres- cription of one of our most celebrated physi- cians intended only as a remedy for disor- ders of the stomach and one which should necessarily be as eifectual in its results as Its action is specific. The ever increasing popularity of “ Indige- nous Bitters, ’’ should be a suflicient recom- mendation in itself, but the proprietor has considered it advisable to strenghten public confidence by publishing the following certi- ficate, one among many thousands, the im- portance of which can escape no one.

These bitters, which have the advantage of being very cheap, have done me so much good, that I have thought it my duty to recommend them to my friends, who suffer from the same disease, and all who have used them have to my knowledge re- ceived the greatest benefit. Those who are in the habit of taking an appetizer before meals could not do belter, as well for the effect as for economy’s sake, than make use of “ Indigenous Bitters. ” As Indigenous Bitters are slightly laxative, tho- se who suffer from habitual constipation, will derive great benefit, by regularly taking them, as they keep the bowels in good order and in that way aid digestion. Headache, dizziness, nausea and general languor, are most frequently the result of de- rangement of the stomach, and in such cases “ Indigenous Bitters ” never fail* to afford prompt relief, and most frequently even a perfect cure. “ Indigenous Bitters ” are sold in retail, in all respectable Drug Stores in the Dominion, in 25 cts. boxes only, containing sufficient for three or four 3 half pint bottles. A. GARIEPY, ii 30 THE ART OP DYEING. Some advice on the manner of dyeing woollen or silk goods.— The vessels employed should be perfectly clean and free from rust, the articles to be dyed should be entirely free from grease and should be well washed several times in clean water. Th^y should also be damp when plunged in the dye, so as not to be spotted. There should also be enough water to cover them entirely. Soft water, such as rain-water or ice water is the best. The quanlilies in the following receipts are for dyeing one pound of stuff.
