THE
RECIPES.
Dough Nut*. —Take three pounds of
flour, one pound of butter, one and a half
pound of sugar; cut the butter flne into
the flour; beat six eggs light, and put them
in; add two wine glasses of yeast, one pint
of milk, some cianamon, mace and nutmeg;
make it up into a light dough, and put it
to rise. When it is light enough roll out
the paste, cat it in small pieces, and boil
them in lard.
-4 Ntetc Use for Petroleum. Gabgnani
says that Dr. Decaisne, ol Antwerp, an
nounces that the itch may be cured by
simply applying (without rubbing) petro
leum to the parts effected. The mere
emanations of that oil are sufficient to dis
infect the patient's clothes, and Dr. De
caisne adds that all other parasites of the
human body may be destroyed immediately
by the same means.
J low to make Pencil Writi g Indelible.
—A correspondent of the Rural New Yorker
gives the following information, which may
ptove serviceable to some of our readers:
A great many valuable letters and other
writings are written in pencil. This is
particularly the case with the letters our
brave soldiers send home from the army.
The folluwing simple process will make
lead pencil writing or drawing as indelible
as ii done with ink : Lay the writing in
a shallow dish and pour skimmed milk
upon it. Any spots not wet at first may
have the milk placed upon them lightly
with a feather. When the paper is all
wet over with the milk take it up and let it
dry off; brush off with a feather the drops
which collected on the lower edge. Dry
it carefully, and will be found to be per
fectly indelible. It can not be removed
even with ludia rubber. It is an old re
ceipt, and a good one.
Useful Hints. —Never enter a sick room
in a state of prespiration, as the moment
you become cool your pores absorb. Do
not approach contagious diseases with an
empty stomach; nor sit between the sick
and the fire, because the heat attracts the
thin vapor.
frosted feet. —Raw cotton and castor
oil are said to be an infallible remedy for
frozen limbs, aud to have effected a cure
when amputation was thought to be neces
sary to save life.

THE WORLD'S GREAT REMIDT FOR
Scrofula and Scrofulous Diseases.
From Finery Files, a irell-lsnotcn Merchant of Ox
ford., Maine.
"I have sold large quantities of your SARSAPA
RILLA, but never yet one bottle which failed ot the
desired effect and full satisfaction to those who took
it. As fast as our people try it, they agree there lias
been no mcdieiuc iike it before in our community.
Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches, Pustules, Ul
cers, Sores, and all Diseases of the Skin.
From Iter, ltobt. Stratton, Bristol, England.
' I onlv do my duty to you aud the public, when
I add my testimony to that you publish of the me
dicinal virtues of your SARSAPARILLA. My duugh
ter, aged ten, had an afflicting humor in her ears,
eyes, ;uid hair for years, which we were unable to
cure until we tried your SjUtsATAKILLA. She has
been well for some mouths."
From Mrs. Jane E. Hire, a tceU-knotrn and mueh
esteemed lady of Pen n isnlle, ( age May Co., A. J.
" Mv daughter has suffered for a year past with a
scrofulous eruption, which was very troublesome.
Nothing afforded any relief until we tries! your
Saks a papilla, which soon completely cured her."
From Charles P. Gage, Fag., of the widely-known
Gage, Murray if Co., manufacturers of enamelled
pqjirrs in Xinhua, X. //-
" I had for several years a very troublesome
humor in my face, which grew constantly worse
until it disfigured my features and became an intol
erable affliction. 1 tried almost every tiling a man
could of both advice and medicine, but without any
relief whatever, until 1 took your SARSAPARILLA.
It immediately made my face worse, as you told me
it might for a time: but in a few weeks the new
skin began to form under the blotches, and con
tinued until my face is as smooth as any body's,
and I am without auy symptoms of the disease that
1 know of. I enjoy perfect health, and without a
doubt owe it to your SARSAPARILLA."
Erysipelas —General Debility—Purify the
Blood.
From Dr. ltobt. Sawin, Houston St., Xew York.
" DR. AVER. I seldom fail to remove Eruptions
and Scrofulous Sores by the persevering use ot your
SARSAPARILLA, and I have just now cured an attack
of Malignant Erysipelas with it. N'o alterative we
possess equals the SARSAPARILLA you have sup
plied to the profession as well as to the people."
From J. F.. Johnston, Esq., jraieman, Ohio.
" For twelve years, I had the yellow Erysipelas
on my right arm, during which time I tried all the
celebrated physicians 1 could reach, and took hun
dreds of dollars worth of medicines. The ulcers
were so bad that the cords became visible, and the
doctors decided that my arm must be amputated. I
began taking your SARSAPARILLA. Took two bot
tles, and some of your PILES. Together they have
cured me. lam now as well and sound as any body.
Being in a public place, my case is known to every
body in this community, and excites the wonder of
all."
From Hon. Henry Monro, M. P. P., of Xewcastle,
C. W'., a leading member of the Canadian Parlia
ment.
" 1 have used your SARSAPARILLA in my family,
for general debility, and for purifying the blood,
with very beneficial results, and feel confidence in
commending it to the afflicted."
St. Anthony's Fire, Hose, Salt Bheum,
Scald Head, Sore Eyes.
From Harvey Sickler, Esq., the able editor of the
Tunkhannock Democrat, Pennsylvania.
" Our only child, about three years of age, was
attacked by pimples on his forehead. They rapidly
spread until they formed a loathsome and virulent
sore, which covered his face, and actually blinded
his eyes for some davs. A skilful physician applied
nitrate of silver and other remedies, without any
apparent effect. For fifteen days we guarded his
hands, lest with them he should tear open the fes
teriug and corrupt wound which covered his whole
face. Having tried every tiling else we had any
hope from, we began giving your SARSAPARILLA,
and applying the iodide of potash lotion, as you
direct. The sore began to heal when we had given
the first bottle, and was well when we had finished
the second. The child's eyelashes, which hail corns
out, grew again, and lie is now as healthy and fair
as any other. The whole neighborhood predicted
that the child must die."
Syphilis and Mercurial Disease.
From Dr. Hiram Stoat, of St. Louis, Missouri.
" I find your SARSAPARILLA a more effectual
remedy for the secondary symptoms of Syphilis
and for syphilitic disease than any other we possess.
The profession are indebted to you for some of the
best medicines we have."
From A. J. French, M. /)., an eminent physician of
J.amrenee, Mass., u-ho is a prominent member of
the Legislature of Massachusetts.
" DR. AVER. My dear Sir; I have found your
SAKSAPARILLA an excellent remedy for Syphilis,
both of the primary and secondary type, ami effec
tual iu some eases that were too obstinate to yield
to other remedies. Ido not know what we can em
ploy with more certainty of success, where a power
ful alterative is required."
Mr. Ckas. S. 17m Liew, of Xetc Brunswick, A'. J.,
had dreadful ulcers on his legs, caused by the abuse
of mercury, or mercy rial disease , which grew more
and more aggravated for years, in spite of every
remedy or treatment that could be applied, until the
persevering use of AYKK'S SARSAI-ARIEEA relieved
rum. Few cases can be found more inveterate and
distressing than this, and it took several dozen
bottles to cure hiin
Leucorrhoea, Whites, Female Weakness,
are generally produced by internal Scrofulous Ul
ceration. and are very often cured by the" alterative
effect of this SAKSAPAIUU.A. Some cases require,
however, in aid of the SARSAPARILLA, the skilful
application of local remedies.
From the well-known and widely-celebrated Dr.
Jacob Morrill, of (Hncinnati.
" I have found your SARSAPARILLA an excellent
alterative in diseases of females. Many cases of
Irregularity, Leucorrhira, Internal Ulceration, and
local debility, arising from the scrofulous diathesis,
have yielded to it, and there are few that do not,
when its effect is properly aided by local treatment."
A la ly, unwilling to allow the publication of her
name, writes
" My daughter and myself have been cured of a
very debilitating Loueorrho-a of long standing, by
two bottles of your SARSAPARILLA."
Rheumatism, Gout, Liver Complaint, Dys
pepsia, Heart Disease, Neuralgia,
when caused by Scrofula in the system, are rapidly
cured by this EXT. SARSAPARILLA.

DERRY TOWNSHIP. March, 1864.
Mr. Joseph Swyers—Aftermy best rejects
to you, this is to let you kuow that I have
been troubled with chills for the last fifteen
years, some of them so hard that I thought I
could not live over night. I was for days
and nights not able to go out. Lust fall they
came on again as usual, and having about
half a bottle of your liniment about the
house, I thought I would try it, and took
about 20 drops night and morning for some
time. From the time I took it I have never
had one chill, and can say that 1 never had
used any medicine that gave so much satis
faction as your liniment. Your ob't servant,
Adam Baird.
March 28th, 1864.
Mr. J. Swyers : My son had a sore neck
for three months back, for which I used your
liniment, and it is a perfect cure. He also
had a sore leg for two years back ; I got one
of your bottles of liniment, which has cured
it soundly.
Yours, respectfully, Charles Mitchell.
FREEDOM FORGE, March 28, 1864.
Mr. Swyers : I recommend your liniment
to be the best that I ever had in my house.
I had a pain in my side for about 15 years,
and 1 doctored with doctors far and near,
but they done me no good, when I heard of
your liniment, tried it, and I am thankful to
say it has cured me sound and well; and
for the children I could not do without it.
Ilugh s hand were dreadfully cracked open
with the wind, and he rubbed them with
it, and it has cured them.
