ONfoNs.-From our own experience
and the observation Of others, we cat
fully indorse tho testimony of tho st
Louis Miller, on the heaithful proper
ties of the above esculent. Lung ant
liver complaints are certainly benefi ted
often cured, by free consumption Of
onions; either cooked or raw. Cold.
yield to them like magic. DON'T bt
afraid Of them. Taken ut night all Of
fcnse will be wanting by morning, ant
the good effects will amply compen satt
f.r tho triiling annoyance. Taken regu.
larry they greatly promote tho hcaltl,
of the lungs and tho digestive organs.
An extract made by boiling down the
juice Of onions to a syrup, and takcn as
medicine, answers the purpose worry
well, but fried, roasted or boiled, on
ions are better. Onions are yery
cheap medicine, within everybody's
reach, and they are not by any means
as ''bad to take" as the costly nostrums
neglect of their use may necessitate

KLEpING FISH FRESH WITH SUGAR.
"A method adopted in Portugal for
preserving fish consists In removing
the yiscca and sprinkling sugar over
the interior, Keeping the fish in a hori-
zontal position, so that the sugar may
penetrate rs much rs possible, 1t is
said that fish prepared in this way can
be kept completely fresh for a long
time, the favor being perfect as Ii re-
Gently caught. Salmon thus treated
before sailing and smoking possess a
much moro agreeable taste, a table
spoon of sugar being sufficient for a
five pound fish.
