ffTISS WAFEM.S. — Half a pint of blanched bitter almonds, one JtJw heaping cupful of powdered sugar, the whites of six eggsApple Pudding, one third of a cupful of flour, two tablespoonfuls of corn-starch. Blanch the almonds and pound them in a mortar. As soon as they are a little lire ken add the white of an egg. Pound until very fine. When there is a smooth paste add the sugar, a little at a time, the whites of two eggs, one at a time, and the flour and corn-starch. When thoroughly mixed, add by degrees the three remaining whites. Butter the bottom of a flat baking pan and put the mixture on it in spoonfuls. Spread it very thin , especially in the center, and bake in a quick oven. The moment the cakes are taken from the oven, roll into the shape of cornucopia;. If allowed to cool they cannot be rolled, and for this reason it is best to bake only half a dozen at a time. When • all are shaped, fill with the kiss mixture, made by beating the whites of three eggs to a stiff froth, and stirring into them, lightly, four tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar. Place the wafers in a warm oven for twenty minutes or half an hour, to dry. With the quantities given two dozen can be made.

A BURN will heal quicker upon applying 'TfT£&®3s:,S Magnetic Ointment than with any other remedy. The pain will be relieved at once, and no scar will be left from the injury. The burned part should be thickly covered with the ointment and cloths kept on to exclude the air. A CUT OR BRUISE will soon cease to cause suffering, and the ruptured flesh and skin will knit together and recover their usual color and smoothness with almost magical rapidity. Use as in case of bums, SORES of all kinds, whether old or new, will heal in a wonderfully short space of time. If there is any proud flesh or putrid matter it will soon disap¬ pear, to be replaced by firm, healthy flesh. The sores should be washed daily with soap and water, after which apply the Ointment, and wrap firmly with cloths. CORNS can be cured by shaving them closely and wrapping them in the Ointment, or heating it in by the fire every night. CHAPPED HANDS will become smooth and soft by a few applications of the Ointment. CHAFING is speedily relieved by applying the Ointment to the parts affected every night and morning for several days. Mothers of small chil¬ dren will never be without it after one trial, and men who are on their feet constantly will find great relief in this remedy. SPRAINED LIMBS will most kindly heal, and become greatly reduced in size when swollen, by the use of the Magnetic Ointment. G3"SSLBLAINS AND FROZEN LIMBS are quickly cured by the Ointment. Keep away from the fire, take the frost out in snow or ice water, then wrap them up in the. Ointment. Renew the Ointment once in twelve hours. They will cause no pain after the first frost is out, and will be entirely well in a few days. BACKACHE, and all spinal irritations, will surely subside under the influ¬ ence of the Ointment. The Ointment should be rubbed on very freely, and the rubbing should be kept tip for nearly one hour. Repeat every two or three days until cured.
