children after eating and for delicate
persons during convalescence, in the
form of a jelly, made by boiling little
of it, and seasoning it with sugar, lemon
juice, fruit, jellies, and the like. 1t is
generally liked by children, and, next to
tapioca, is, perhaps, the best article of
the kind known. 1t is very good as a
diet during recovery from bowel COM
plants fevers and the like, both for
grown persons and children.
AssAFGTIDA (Ferul0 Assaf@tidd.) y.
This is the most powerful of all the
fetid gums. 1t is obtained from the as
saf@tida plant, which is native of
Prussia. The drug or gum is the inspis-
stated Juice, obtained from the plant by
scarifying it, and then evaporated in
similar manner to that of the aloe Juice.
Assafmtida may be easily distinguished
by its strong fetid smell, resembling very
much that of onions.
Medicinal Properties and Uses-Assa-
f@tida is a most valurble remedy in
many cases, especially in Mysteries,
flatulent colics and nervous affections.
1t is expectorant, anti-spasmodic, en-
menagogue, and a nervous stimulant.
When used as an anti-spasmodic it
should be given in form of tincture,
from enc to two teaspoonfUls at a dose
for grown person. In other cases it is
mostly used in the form of pills. Dose
From five to ten grains, sometimes more.
Health and Home.

A Renovated Vineyard.

A grape-grower in Napa has recently
made discovery that will be Of great
interest to all grape-growers in the State.
He recently visited vineyard of ten
acres in Sonoma, of several years
growth, that was nearly entirely de-
stroyed by phylloxera, but in one corner
of it the vines were thrifty and full of
fruit. He was led to inquire the cause
of the seeming strange freak of nature,
and he found out that the owner of the
vineyard had used barn manure and
ashes quite freely on that part of the
vineyard, and the effects OF the treat
ment was astonishing to behold. He
says that about two hundred vines were
in very good condition; the leaves
were glossy, the branches were long
enough, and punches full and well de-
veloped; in short, the two hundred vines
appear as if there were no phylloxera
working on the root.-Bee.
The Florida agriculturist., 1884-08-20

the oil of peppermint Three or four of
these pills taken on going to bed has a
very fine purgative effect, and is valua-
BILE to those subject to costiveness. In
all affections of the stomach or liver and
in costiveness or headache it is an in
valuable purgative, The dose is from
five to fifteen grains for adults, one to
four grains for child.
