| CLEANSE YouR PREaIsEs.-H is good
counsel tor the hot weather: The warm
weather is here, and it behooves every citi.
zen to cleanse his premises Of all offensive
matter in order tha. they become pure and
healthy. There is no autt at all that greal
deal Of sickness visiting families proceeds
from filthy cellars, sinks, yards, out houses
sites, Ac These things are neglected BY
many, asare other duties, from pure Thought
lessness, while others never dream Of paying
any attention to them. There are seTera
remedies for this most unhealthy condition
ofthings, that een be easily applied. The
FIRST is to put one pint Of liquor Of chloride
Of zinc in one hncketful of water. and one
pound Of chloride Of lime in another bucket
tul of water, mix and sprinkle over decayed
vegetable matter. For this purpose nothing
surpasses it. indeed j, perfect deodorizer.
The aeeond is TO take urpounds of snlphate
of iron or copperas, and dissolve IN bucket
hil Of water. This will, in most cases,proy.
a sure remedy in destroying all offensive
odors The third is totaka simple chloride
of IRON and sprinkle in lamp cellars, heap
| Of filth, dirty yards, &c. The labor Of cleans
| ng one premises by either ofthese remedie
ID trifing, aud the expense is not worth men
tioning. II il were ten times greater, boil
the labor and the expenses should be vii
lingly incurred.
