A CERTAIN CURE FOR Colds
Three cents worth of licorice three

cents worth of gum arabic. Put
them in a quart of water, simmer
them till thoroughly dissolved, then
add three cents worth of paregoric
and like quantity Of antimonial
wine. Let it cool, and sip when

Cinnamon, cloves, allspice mace,
one or all, as you fancy. One half
pound of chopped raisins, or same
of Zante currants. Two ounces of
citron sliced thin, if you like it; but
it is very good without. This is a
good cake and will keep moist a
long time.
APPLE IN JELLY.-Peel and quar-
ter some good apples. and take out
the core; cook them with Just
enough water to cover them, some
slices of lemon and clarafied sugar,
until they are soft. Take out the
pieces ofapples with great care, so
as not to break the pieces, and ar
range them III jar; then boil the
syrup until it will jelly, and pour it
over the pieces Of apple.
PUDDING SAUCE.--Stir to a cream
a teacup OF butter. then add wine
glass Of cider and flavor with nut

claimed, sufficient to pay the annual in
