Tie EsTIIETICs OF OATMEAL.-We
call tie sttcntion of our fair readers to
the advantages of oatmeal as an ariicle
oi diet. We advise each one OF them to
make personal test of its virtue, by
eating 1t every morning at breakfast.
1t Is by no means unpalatabIe, when
thoroughly boiled, made of the right
consistency, and taken with sugar and
cream. We promise great benefit from
ltS persistent use. In the first place.
and this is our strongest argUment,-it
will improve the complexion by its heal
thy action on the blood. 1t will also pro-
Iuce an enviable degree of plumpness
from its richness in nutriment for brain
and muscle. 1t will keep the system in
good condition, and leave the brain un-
cIo.ged to do its work k.-ProUatence Jour-
