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. CHILBLAINS AND FROZEN LMSIBS 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 up for nearly one hour. Repeat every two or three days until cured. CANCERS, although we do not claim they can be wholly cured by the Ointment if the disease has progressed too far, can yet be .greatly modified, and the patient benefited by the Ointment. If, taken at right time, and the Ointment used in connection with our blood purifier, King of the Blood, referred to in other parts of this book, cures will be effected. PIMPLES and all other- scrofulous eruptions will disappear by use of the Magnetic Ointment and King of the Blood. AND FINALLY, when there is any soreness, inflammation, swelling, lame¬ ness,, or^ aching of any kind, relief and cure may be found in this Ointment, which should always be kept, on hand. Persons should not wait until accident or disease occurs, and then be obliged to send post-haste for the medicine. The testimony of all who have used the Magnetic Ointment is that they ^ can't get along without a bottle of it always in the house''1 so convenient and effective is it in preventing a threatened attack of disease,, or ia case of injury or sudden disorder- 0.0) King of the Blood cures 16 Laziness. ” p Bread, Breakfast, Tea and Sweet Gakea (For many other Receipts and “Prepared Flour,'’ “Home-made Baking Powder,” see previous books.

When the hops and water boil, strain the water on the grated potatoes, and stir well. Place on the stove ana boil up once. Add half a cupful of sugar and one-fourth of a cupful of salt. Let the mixture get blood warm; then add one cupful of yeast, or one cake of compressed yeast, and let it rise in a warm place five or six hours. When well risen, turn into a stone jug. Cork this tightly, and set in a cool- place. As poor yeast is the chief cause of poor bread, pains should be taken to make yeast properly and to keep it well. It must never be allowed to stand in a warm room after it has risen, and the jug in which it is kept should be care¬ fully washed and scalded each time the yeast is renewed. As much care must be taken with the stopper as with the jug. When it is convenient to get fresh cakes of Fleischmann’s compressed yeast, it will be much better and cheaper to use them than tcrmake your own. This yeast is wholly free of any injurious substance, and with it gc^pd bread can always be made, provided the flour is good and the rules are followed. YEAST Bread
