To MAKE CoFPEE.-At one of his late lec
lures, Prof. Blot instructed his pupils in the
art of making coffee. We will only add to
his suggestions that the first requisite for
good coffee is to have coffee, and not roasted
peas, rye, chicory, or other vile preparations.
To secure this, every housekeeper should
buy coffee green, and roast and grind it in
the house:
Three and half tablespoonfuls Of ground
coffee (enough for six persons) were placed
in flannel bag and put in the receptacle Of
an "Uld Dominion" coffee pot. A quart of
freshly boiled water was poured on. Then
the coffee pot was tightly covered. In the
top of the coffee pot quarter of pint of
cold water was placed. Alter few minutes
Of sIeaming the coffee was ready for the
table. Before using, the cold water was
passed through the siphon upon the coffee be-
low, which made it clear. This modc of
making coffee is founded upon scientific prin-
ciples. Boiiing coffee makes it bitter. Egg
suells and fish skins spoil the taste and make
good coffee wretched drinking stuI. The
coffee made according to Professor Blot is
ready for the table in about five minutes, the
boiling hot water extracting all the essential
properties of the berry, which are retained
iu the liquid by keeping the pot Theoretically
closed.

PERRY WIS.,
VEGETABLE PAIN KILLER,
TIE UNIVERSAL REMEDY
For Internal and External
Complaints,

AT this period there are but few OF the human
race unacquainted with the merits OF tho Pain
Killer; but while some eXtol il as liuiment,
they know bu. little OF its power in casing pain
when taken internally, while others use 1t in
ternaIy with great success but are equally ig.
n,raut OF its healing virtues when applied eX.
ternally. We therefore wish 20 say to all that
1t is equally successful whether used internally
or externally, and it stands alone, unrivalled
by all the great catalogue of Family Medicines,
aud lts sale is universal and immense. The de.
mand for it from India and other foreign coun.
tries, Is equal to the demand at home, and it has
become kaOwn in those far-oti places solely by
its merits.
THE PAIN KILLER derives much Of its pop.
ularty from the simplicity attending It's use
which gives il 3 peculiar value in a family. The
various diseases which may be reached by IT,
aud in their iucipient stagcJ etadcatod. are
among those which are peculiarly fatal II sui
fered 70 run but the curatire magic Of this
preparation at oncc disarms them OF their ter.
rors. In all respects it fuldls the conditions Of
popular medicine.

~
Bowel complaints seem just now 10 be the pre-
Vailirg element, and any medicine that ia every.
where acceptable, aud that is reliable, Is a very
desirable acquisition. From what we have seen.
heard and experienced, VIC believe Davis Pain
Killer is tais d0sderstum. Fer the best method Of
using it, we quote from the directions:
"For common bowel complaints give one teS-
spoonful in gill OF new milk and molasses, in
equal parts stirred well together lessen the dose
for children according TO tine age. 1.-THE pain be
severe, bathe the bowe.s and b4ok with the med.
icine. This mode Of treatment is good in cases
of the cholera morbus, sudden stoppages &C.
Repeat the desc every hour.
|Tue quickest way ever saw dysantery cured
was by taking one spoonful OF the Pain Killer in
enc giil OF mix ana Inolasses stirred well ~.
gether aud drank hot, a. the same time bathing
the bowels freely with the medicine. Let the
dose DO repeated every hour until the patient is
relieved"
Ifeyery soldier and every other person who has
reason to fear this disease, would provide them
selves With botto Of this medicine. and use ss
occasion required we believe great amount of
suffering and sickness would be saved, as well in
tic tented fed as the domestic home circle. c.
