3UAMONIUM.
It appears that the reason why the Stramonium,
as recommended by Mr. FISHER, has been so sue-
t cessful in the cure of Asthma and Consumption, is,
that it has been prepared from the Datura Tatula,
and not from the Daunt Stramonium, the latter of
which, although well kno..i to be of a very perni-
cious quality, is sold by unprincipled and ignorant
Druggists for the true species. Mr. SA►.ISIIURY, of
the Botanizal Gardens, this year cultivated the Da-
tura Tatula ; and that the Faculty and public may
obtain the genuine sort, has sent the whole stock pro-
periy dried, to Messrs. Bynum and Co. of the Che-
mical and Medical Hall, 20, in Bedford-street, CJ-
vent-garlit ; but in justice to Surgeon Pismo, who
brought the article into use, we must obsert.a that his
Preparations alone have established the reputation of
the Remedy. In two publications an Diseases of the
Lungs—tire by Dr. Rim's RD REECF, on Asthma ati
Consumption, and the other by Dr. MATE CA RAN,
we find that a decided preference is given to Mr.
Fistieit's Prepar-tions; and Dr. MARIUS also asserts
;that he found Clem to succeed after the Datura Stro-
.mcmium and Datura Tatula had disagreed with his
patients. Mr. FISHER, in °refsr that the reputation
of his Preparations should not ‘uffer by spurious ar-
ticles or adulteration, has, from motives of humanity,
appointed respectable agents for the sale of them
throughout the country. The smoking of the Pre-
pared Herb has been remarkably beneficial in Asthma
and Wheezing, while the Oxymel of it, in cases of
Consumption of the Lungs, appears, by the respecta-
ble testimonies published in the last edition (thesixth)
of Mr. Fisuaa's " Faniiiiar Treatise on the Causes,
&c. of Asthma and Consumption," to be an infalli.

The advantages arising from enquiry into cause
and effect, must be of the gre.itest benefit to mankind,
when it is acknowleiged that more than one-third die
in infancy : the most eminent that have wrote upon
the case agree that ascarides, cr small worms, are the
leading cause, as children, even from their birth, ate
subject to them, which cause griping pains, fits, con-
vulsions, and dedne, which too often close the SC tile
in death. The attentive observer may see some thou-
sands of worms at Dr. GARDENA'S, and have the
most respectable references to the parents of those

SUGAR.—It is no less singular than true, that the
article of colonial produce, sugar, the want of which
is now felt as the severest privation throughout the
Continent of Europe, was scarcely known among us
three bundled years ago. Sugar was first brought
into Europe from Asia, in 1150 ; and, at that time, an
attempt w as made to cultivate it in Italy, but it totally
failed. The Portuguese and Spaniards, however, in
the adventurous spirit of colonization which first dis-
tinguished them, carried the cane-root into America,
in 1510, which succeeded to the full extent of their
hopes ; and thence it was soon transplanted to the
West-India isles.
Rice BREAD.—As the article of Bread is now a
serious object in housekeeping, it may be an accept-
able piece of information to the public to learn, that
many families have adopted the use of rice in making
bread, in the proportion of one fourth. The rice is
previously boiled for ten or twelve minutes, in three
times its weight of water, which is put to it cold.—
Thus ten pounds and a half of fluor, the quantity
used in three quartern loaves, when made into dough,
with one pound and a half of what the bakers call
;sponge, will knead up with three pounds and a half
of whole rice so prepared, and the produce will be s'x
loaves, instead of three—thereby a saving will be
19tade of twopence in the quartern loaf, valuing the
rice at sixpence-per lb. after paying the baker amply
fet his trouble, and the consumption of the corn
will he reduced nearly one-half. The bread is very
palatable, and lighter and whiter than wheaten bread.
From the mildness of the season, a dish of green
pease was gathered on the 4th of November, in Mr.
Wanstall's cottage-garden, on St. Thomas's-hill, pro.
duced from a few pods that had been put into the
ground with the old stalks of the second crop.
Beautiful White Teeth may be rerarded as one of
the kreatest blessings Providence C4lll)estow, without

TIVE TOOTH POWDER is a most elegant anti certain
remedy for all diseases of the teeth and gums ; its
particular qualities are not simrly confined to clean-
sing the teeth, but will preserve them in the highest
sate of perfection ; it will render them beautifully
white, fasten such as may be loose, and restore them
to their original purity, entirely eradicate the scurvy
in the gums, cause them to adhere close and firm to
the teeth, render them of a healthful red, and the
breath delicately sweet,-relieve and cure the most
excruciating tooth-ach, gum-biles, and swelled face.
