Compound Extract Of SarSaparilla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only Serofula, but also those other afec-
tons which arise from it, such as ERUPTIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoNY's FIRE,
RosE, or ERYsIPELAs, PIMPLEs, PUsTULEs,
BLoTcHEs, BLAINs and BolLs, TuMoRs, letter
and SALT RHEuM, ScxLD HEAD, RINGwoRx,
RHEUMATISM, SyPHILITIc and MERCURIAL Dis
EASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA
TED OR IMPURE BLooD. The popular belief
in +" in,pa1ity of the blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

STRAWBERRIES on GRAVEL BEDS
A correspondent of the ,Ne,s England
Farmer says he was induced to try the
growing of strawberries on coarse
gravel and stones, from the productive
ness Of some which had accidentally
thrown runners on gravel walk. He
says: g am satisfied that if any gar
dener has such an amount of pebbles
stones that he hardly knows how to
dispose of them, he may, by moder-
ate mixture of rich earth. form them
into productive strawberry beds"
The plants will propagate by runners
whose roots will get into the earth
among obstacles that will impede the
growth of grass and weeds, and the
berries will ripen a week earlier than
usual. f.f. q f..,s....

Valuable Recipes.

PATENT INDIAN PUDDING.-This
pudding can be made at any season of
the year when milk can be obtained,
and requires no eggs, which are not
very pleanty in the winter. Four
bowls or coffee-cups of milk, one of
Tine Indian meal, is the proportion,
which may be increased according to
the quantity you wish to make. Grease
the kettle you wish to make it in, as it
is not SO likely to stick and burn. Stir
often. Put two bowls of milk on the
lire to boil, and stir the meal in the
other two, cold. When it boils, pour
it in, stir it around, and let it simmer
up but not boil. Take from the fire,
and when partly cool, add one half cup
OF molasses, one small teaspoonful Of
salt, one of ginger, another of spice,
cinnamon, or nutmeg, and few rails
ms. Bake one and halfor two hours.
g SPoTs on FuRN1TURE.-To remove
white spots from tables, or other fur
niture, rub the part with camphor, and
it will disappear. =
SLATE Color on CoTToN or Wool
EN.-Take beech bark, boil it in an
iron kettle, skim out the chips after it
has boiled sufficiently, and then add
: copperas to set the dye. If you wish
it very dark, add more copperas. This
is excellent for stockings as it does not
fade.
To PICKLE APPLEs--Taketh the Swaa,
apple, Roxbury Russell, (some prefer
the Tolman Sweeting,) steam them
until soft, put into crock, then take
vinegar and sugar, with spices, and
pour over them hot. Put on enough to
cover. 1.-THE vinegar is too strong, re-
duce it, and pickle as peaches, or other
fruit.
To PArNr KITCHEN FLooRs.EOne
quart boiling water, one ounce glue
When thoroughly dissolved, stir in

FRUIT PRosPEcTs-It is not within
the memory of that individual common
to all localities, grizzly and revered,
" the Oldest inhabItant," the time when
our orchards and fruiteries gave indi-
cations of larger yield OF fruit than
the present spring. Peach, pear, plum
and apple are budded remarkably fall
for blossomirg, and the late cool, dry
weather has kept them from expanding
into full bloom so early as to be in dan
ger OF late frosts, if we should be so
unfortunate as to have them this season.
We, therefore, with a good degree Of
confidence, look forward to an abund-
ant supply OF fruit of every kind.--Ann

Scrofu1a, or Kings Evil,

is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes yitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease ON any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. Thescrofulous taint is variously
caused by nercurial disease, low living dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin. it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending" from parents tochhdren
unto the third and fourth generation Z" indeed,
It seems to be the rod of Him who says, 81
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks Of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause. - III
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous |;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it..
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such a medicine we supply in
