The Salisbury steak is made by taking
the best slices of the Ground" on the beef,
and ckopping it with dull knives. The
object is rot to cut, but rather pound the
meat. BY thus treating it, the pulp comes
TO the top ard the tough, hbIous portion
remains below. This pulp is scraped Off
and made into cakes, like sausage-cakes,
or into the shape Ike a good-sized steak
and gently broiled on a gridiron. 1t has
been found that meat gently cooked is
more digestible than raw. The fire must
be good so that the meat may be rapidly
broiled--!hat is, be cooked on the outside
and almost raw inside.
A little salt and pepper ard a small
amount Of butter added make a rot at all
unpalatable dish, and one which contains
all the strength the beef with the
tough, indigestible portion entirely separ-
ated. This diet is used exclusively in
chronic cases by physicians protesting to
treat according to the Salisbury method.
They use but few drugs and what they
use are mainly tonics. The diet is used
not only in diseased digestion, but disease
OF liver, kidney, stomach, bowels nerves,
ETC., and remarkable result are said to
have been o5tained.-I New York Medical

Doctor Norcross was hastily sum
moned early last Wednesday morning
to attend one Of those cases which will
admit of no delay, consequently the
doctor delayed not. His patient re-
sided some three or four miles from the
village, whittier the doctor was soon
vending his way visions OF a generous
fee doubtless accelerating his foot
steps. But alas he was doomed to
disappointment, for when within half
u mile of his destination lie was accost-
ed by the newly made father and in
formed that his services would not be
required, and the only fee he got was
good appetite for his breakfast.
Thus you see the early bird does not
always catch the worm.
