liative in dyspepsia and in many of the dis
orders affecting the stomach and bowels

corrective Of costive habit Mixed with
softening poultices it is cleansing, sooth
ing and healing to foul sores. An occa
sional dose of the powder produces q
favorable improvement in salloW or taWny
compilations.
Agricultural Experiments.-The Bos
ton Journal Of Chemistry says: "Field
experiments, as rule, are deceptive un
less many circumstances are taken into
account which are usually overlooked
What is usually known regarding the
previous agricultural condition Of the
fields experimental upon? What account
is taken of meteorological conditions, dry
seasons and wet seasons? 1t is possible
for good artificial manure to do positive
harm to crop in very dry season, while
an Indifferent or valueless compound
would do no injury. 1t is, therefore, ap
parent that we are liable to be misled by
experiments with fertilizers, and that the
reports so frequently made of experiment
tai labors must be read with an intellige
understanding of what is necessary to give
such experiments positive value"
New Method of Making Beef Tea
In order to meet the daily -feltwa Of con
centrated fluid meat food, want not sup
piled by beef essences as ordinarily made
DR.. III. G. Wood has invented the follow
ing process, and found in practice that i
worked we'll Take a thin, rump steak Of
beef, lay it upon board, and with case
hnife scrape it. In this way red pulp
will be obtained, which contains pretty
much everything in the steak, excepting
the fibrous tissue. Mix this red pulp
thoroughly with three times its bulk OF
cold water, stirring until the pulp is com
pletely diffused. Put the whole upon q
moderate fire, and allow it to come slowly
to a boil, stirring all the time to prevent
the baking of the pulp. In using this dc
not let the patient strain it, but stir the
settings thoroughly into the fluid. One
to three fluid ounces of this may be giver
at a time, and will be found to be very
urishing--Canad0 Lancet.
