ONE WAY TO Do lr-The lady who
wishes to gam strength and reduce stout
ness, must eat meat and becftea no
homlny, greats, or cream. She can
drink clarct, but not ale or beer. and if
she can take exercise enough to digest
her food, she may hope TO gain strength
and reduce the flesh.

wash it well, drain it and spread it out
on pie pans roast it in moderate
oven, or on top of the range stir it
often To keep it from burning, and roast
it until it is good brown then drop n
small piece of butter in each pan, and
mix it up Just enough to make it shine:
grind IT fresh every morning. The

CURE FOR DYsENTERY. The following
simple remedy, long known in family
practice, was recently tried i'll the camp
of the New York Twenty-second Reei-
ment, where there were from eighty TO
one hundred cases daily and with
rapid cures in every case, Recipe: In
II tea-cup half full of vinegar, dissolve
rs much salt as it will take up, leaving
little excess Of salt ut the bottom of
the cup. Pour boiling water upon the
solution till the cup is two-thirds or
three-quarters full 4 scum will rise
to the surface, which must be removed
and the solution allowed to cool. Dose:
, Tablespoonful three times Il day till re-
lieved. The rationale of the operation
; of this simple medicine will readily
occur to the pathologist, and, in many
hundred trials 1t has never been known
to fail in dysentery and protracted diar-
rhTa.
A CHAT Wuu TIE HoUsEKEEPER.--
One of the great causes for dyspepsia
ut the present day consists in the hob
: bles which SO many people ride in re-
gard to food. One person gets the inn
preston that one article Of diet is the
cure-all, and another that something
else will prevent all the evils that flesh
is heir to, and they make n hobby Of
this one thing, and not only ride them
| selves to death on it, but insist that all
the persons whom they know, or over
, whom they have any influence, shall
| ride it, too. Oatmeal is good in lis way,
and grits, and graham bread, and many
other things but they will create dyspep-
STA if they are not properly cooked, or
used too continually, and to the exclu-
sion of other varieties of food. Dyspep-
STA is more'often cured by absolute meat
) and fruit diet than 10y u vegetarian diet,
: and the reason why good effects 0 ften
follow the first trials of vcgetarianism
5 is because the subjects have been in
? the habit Of eating heartily Of meet and
the change BELTS them On the same
principal it is beneficial for those who
have been in the habit of making their
4 breakfast of oatmeal, hominy, and the
, like, to occasionally take a new depart
: ure and make n breakfast Of meat OF
, fish, and fruit.
; Clover can be made to answer a three
fold purpose, for pasture, for hay, and
as a fertilizer.
SwELLED LEG N A HoRsE.-When a
cut or Il bruisc in a horses leg is healed
too quickly and before the inflammation
has disappeared from the wounded
parts, the limb will often swell and be
come hard. This may be caused 10y
absorption Of the suppurated matter
which ought to have been discharged
from the wound. The remedy is to
} give purgatiycs-thc best, probably, be
ing onc-Ounce doses Of hyposulphite oi
soda, with alternate doses Of half an
ounce Of nitrate Of potash. Cold astrin-
gent lotions and bandage on the limb
may be useful or blistering may he
needed. If the horse is valuable, il
would have been wise in the first place
