PoTATo JELLY.-The potatoe may with
ease be made into a rich and nutritious jelly,
and the process should be generally known.
1t is as follows: Leta couple Of good sized,
mealy potatoes be washed, peeled, and gra-
ted; throw the pulp thus procured in a
bason of water and stir it we'll let it stand
a few minutes, and sufficient quantity of
starch will have fallen for the purpose re-
CURED; pour off the water, and pour on
boiling water, stirring the starch the while :;
and it will soon and suddenly pass to the
state ofjelly. The only nicely required is
to be careful that the water is absolutely
boiling, otherwise the change will not take
place. On comparing this jelly with that
obtained from Bermuda, a difficulty in dis
eliminating between the two will be appa-
rent. The difficulty, however, becomes
more obvious on applying sugar to sweeten
the jellies, for then the superior flavor of
the potato jelly is at once perceived, and ii
is equal, if not, superior, also, to arrow root
in its nutritious properties.

THE WHEAT CROP.

the highest market rates. The subscribers, there

DESTROYER.

VTNHE most anti-fatulent Medicine ever known
l. in the world, which cures and prevents the
formation of Dyspepsia Consumption, Disease of
the Heart, Rheumatic pains, Costiveness, Liver
Complaint, Pains in the Side or in the Small of
the Back, Palpitation of the Heart, Headache,
Sore Throat, Shortness of Breath, Gout, Cold,
Cholic, and is perfect emmenagogue. This Me-
dcine has been invented more than score ofyears
ago by the French Doctor ofthe FRENcH MEDICAL
House, 16 south Frederick street, Baltimore, when
he was living in Paris as a practising physician
and lecturer. He then made chemical extraction
of the juice of blossom of certain flowers, which
acts wonderfully on the nervous system and re-
establishes its own circulation. The Dr. has used
it ever since in the above named diseases, with
great success. Many persons think that the French
Doctor confines his practice solely to Secret Dis
cases. but such is not the case; any disease what
ever will be treated and cured written guaranty
and forfeiture, if desired, with strict honestyeven
those given up by Regular Doctors. Persons al
la distance may consult the French Doctor by let
ter, and have the medicine sent to them. Advice

A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE.-The annexed
heart breaking sketch, which SO truthfully
depicts the result of the maternal influence
over the infant mind, is from an Italian nov
ell, ''The Lady of Milan" We would that
the sentiments of the extract might operate
every where as good example:
A mother teaching her child to pray is an
object al once the most sublime and tender
that the imagination can conceive. Elevat-
ed above earthly things, she seems like one
of those guardian angels, the companions
Of our earthly pilgrimage, through whose
ministration we are inclined to good and re-
strained from evil. The image of the mo-
Their becomes associated in his infant mind
with the invocation she taught him of his
"Father who is in Heaven" When the Sc
ductions of the world assail his youthful
mind, that we'll remembered prayer to his
~Father who is in Heaven" will strengthen
him to resist evil. When in ripper years he
mingles with mankind and encounters fraud
under the mask of honesty; when he sees
confiding goodness betrayed, generosity ridi-
culed as weakness, unbridled hatred, and the
GOODNESS of interested friendship, he may,
indeed, be tempted to despise his fellow
men, but he will! remember his ''Father who
is IN Heaven"
Should he, on the contrary, abandon him
self to the world, and allow the seeds Of
self-love to spring up and flourish in his
heart, he will, Notwithstanding, sometimes
hear warning voice in the depths of his
soul, severely tender as those maternal lips
which instructed him to pray to his "Father
who is in Heaven" But when the trials of
life are over, and he may be extended on the
bed of death, with no other consolation than
the peace Of all approving conscience, he

CONFESSION.

II THE SUBSCRIBER, publicly confess that
Il have been afflicted with a SECRET DISEASE ever
since 1928; had thirteen eminent physicians whose
names are recorded at the French Medical House;
some of them abated the disease, but it always re-
turned worse than before, until it carried away both
sides of nv throat and pierced the top of the palate
also lost several bones ofmy nose and was almost
blind of an eve, and my face covered with an
immense quantity of scabs, between which the skin
was as red scarlet and [ was indeed in most de-
porable condition, so much that the learned pro-
lessor S. pronounced me ncurable. 1t was obvious
TO me- then that a common doctor could not eXtri-
cate me from the Jaws of death-for they all follow
the same old rote, with their train of mercury, mix
lures or pills, invented by ignorance and continued
by cupidity, and do good to any but the UendeTS
Several persons recommended the French Doctor
of the Medical House, l6 South FREDERICK
ST.. as a scientific man and rare genius in those
complaints. went to him and he pledged himself
to cure me on written guaranty, and he furnished
me with one room in his house, as he generally does
with strangers at no cure no pay. did not hes-
tate at all on seeing so many likenesses of patients
who are living evidences of the many wonderful
cures he has performed in almost every kind of dis
ease. Then he had my daguerreotype likeness TAX
en- and took his medicine Tor about year, which
completely cured me. He had then my other like
ness taken, and both are to be at his office. If
this meets the eye of some wretched being in the
grasp of DEATH as I was, let him fly to this praise
worthy philanthropist, whose deep knowledge the
vital PRINCIPLES which animate and move the human
frame, are known in both hemispheres; and | be-
lieve from nv very soul (not forgetting that am on
oath) that his exquisite genius will discover many
new and we'll appropriated remedies, as new dis
eases may be formed. HENRY DRUMMER
