- • •
Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses
the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate,
will be found a most desirable mode of employing this mud
esteemed Medicine.

Two teaspoonsfut of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine-
glass full of water, • makes a preparation equal in strength to
half a pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed
by the London, Edinburgh. and Dublin Pharmacopoeias.
The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are
those of the Skin; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive
Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c., arising from a diseased
state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim-
ples, &o. from the Face, this Medicine has no superior.
The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation
has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of
Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the
Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and it possesses
no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is
injurious to the digestive organs by causing acid fermentation.

. that admirable Medicine are concentrated. As an Antacid

Citron it forms an effervescing draught.
The Syrup of Citron, added to water, makes delicious Le-
monade, and as a refreshing drink in summer nothing can
be more agreeable.

DUCltOw's DEFINITION OF TIIE END OP A SEASON.—
The fag end of the season of a metropolitan theatre is literally
disgraceful, arising from the fatal neglect of business by the
performers, and the shameful mode of conducting it by all
the mechanics and operatives. Ducrow once gave me a much
more graphic description of the finale of one of his seasons
than I have the power of transcribing. " I don't know how
you find it," said he to me, " but as soon as I once announce
the last few nights of the season, the beggars begin to show
their airs. I went into the theatre t'other night. andn
seeing a prime little roasting pig on a nice white napkin the hall, I told 'em to take it up to Mrs. said it warn't for me, 'twas for Mr. Roberts."r.
