Y Another striking case is now added to the list. Mr. Peter Lawler, of Dalton, Mass, states in a letter to Dr. Kennedy that he had been troubled with bladder complaint for IA years, and had consulted at different times seven phys- eians, but nothing beyond temporary alignment of the pain had been worked. Towards the end of last January, MT. Lawler called on Dr.. Ken. nedy. Sounding him, the doctor . struck stone" :" He decided that Mir. Lawler should first try the "Favorite Remedy" as, if possible, to avoid an operation. And here Is the remarkable result: "Dear Doctor Kennedy-The day after came home passed two gravel stones, and am doing nicely now. If you would like to see the stones I will send them to you" This letter bears date "Dalton, Mass, Feb. 6th," and is signed "Peter Lawler." The stones, which are large as to war rant for "Kennedy's Favorite Remedy" the claim that it is the most successful specific for Stone yet discovered, now in Dr. Kennedys possession. Incidentally MT. Lawler also states that the "Fav- orite Remedy" at the same time cured him of a stubborn case of Rheumatism; and 1t is fact that in all affections arising out of disorder of the liver urinary organs it is searching remedy and works marvellous benefits.

OF experiments. 1t is the only permanent

Alabastinc is hardened on the wall by age,

In addition to tic above advantages,

There are so many ways tie utilize stale
bread that it seems Il wonder so much is
wasted in many households, says the Gin
cinnati Enquirer. We see it thrown into
garbage pals or left to mold by many an
economical servant, who would gladly
use it if she only knew what to do with
it.n 1t makes delicious griddle cakes
when soaked in cold water. Three small
slices with water enough to cover them
should be sufficient, when the milk and
-four are added, to make nearly two
quarts of batter. Some cooks prefer to
gut in n egg, while others like them
fully as we'll without. When the bread
is soaked soft make it fine with a spoon,
add the milk and sufficient flour to stifen
enough so that the cakes can be easily
turned. If SOU milk is used add 60 the
batter n teaspoonfGl of cream tartar,
dissolved in a little water, and one even
even teaspoonfui of soda. Thisi is. q good
plan to follow in all uses of Soul milk, as
it seldom contains enough acid to entirely
counteract the soda. Of course, when
only a small quantity of sour milk is used
twice as much cream tartar as soda should
be taken, for when the milk is entirely
sweet the proportions are three even tea
spoonfuls of cream tartar to mi of soda.
French toast is always a fayorite dish
! with children and most grown people,
and can be made of thin slices cut from a
! stale loaf and moistened in milk and egg

fried on a griddle with amixture of butter
and lard or butter and beef d%rippings. II
is eaten with sugar or syrup, like griddle
cakes. All may not know that pieces Of
bread which are not too hard can be made
into a resemblance to turkey dressing
Cut your bread into dice, and if you have
a quantity of gravy from which fat car

Though a piece of butter will do just az
we'll, thoroughly grease the bottom o.

little chunks Of butter and plenty of sea
soning; then pom enough boiling water
on it to moisten it; cover tightly and in;
moment it will steam through and yol
can stir it, and either brown a little o.

should be eaten with gravy over it and i
a good substitute for potatoes. The it'll,
dry, hard pieces and crusts which AWAY
accumulate can be put or a pie tin in al
over that is just hot enough to dry anC
make them a light brown; then roll then
fine and put them away to use in making
croquettes, frying fish, &c. We hav'
lately learned that these slightly Drowned
crumbs make excellent griddle cakes
with the addition Of one egg and ahand

but as we have never tasted them we ca
only recommend 1t as worthy of trial.
