Many eminent physicians have introduced the 44 Magnetic Ointment ” into their practice, and speak in the most enthusi¬ astic terms of its success over a large class of diseases. The following have handed in their names for reference: f>rs. Geo. & Wm, Cleveland. Waterville, N. Y. Ur. Bingham, Utica, N. Y. Ur. Buckingham. Marshall, N. Y. Ur. Bronson, Clinton, “ Dr. Preston, Sangerfield, N. Y. Dr* Bissell, “ Ur. Winder, Oxford, O. Ur. Gibbs, Oxford, O. Dr. Twitchell, Ciearfield, Minn. Ur. Hubbell, Amelia, O. Dr. John Oliver, Staunton, Ill., March 25, 1877, says: “ My attention having been called to your 4 Trask’s Magnetic Ointment,’ I read the theory of disease, as set forth in your treatise, with care, I am now nearly seventy years of age, and have been engaged in curing disease upwards of forty-five years. My motto has been, 'seize upon truth wherever found.’ The theory, as set forth in said treatise, is correct, and the medicine that will give tone and efficacy to the capillary vessels is the thing needed in curing disease. I have tested your Ointment, and find it good for the purpose of toning the pores of the skin. With my discoveries and experience of over forty-five years’ practice on that theory of treating disease, I am convinced your Ointment is a fine article.” Dr. A. S. Pyle, New Galilee, Pa., April 22, 1875, says: “I am an old physician, having had an extensive practice up to within a few years, and with the greatest pleasure I am con¬ strained to acknowledge that in all my practice of medicine for thirty )rears, I have not found the equal of your 4 Trask’s Mag¬ netic Ointment,’ in cases for which it is recommended. I con¬ sider it the best combination of medicines for an ointment or embrocation that is known. I use it in every case of inflam¬ mation— Inflammation of )L,mig;s, Affections of Over, Rheumatism, Cancers, Tumors, White Swellings, Ulceration of Bone, Croup, in short, every case where' it is proper to apply an ointment.” See pamphlet around bottle for other physicians’ certificates.

If the loaf is round, it can be carved into the form of a vase, or if long, into the shape of a boatl$ Have a very sharp knife, and cut slowly and carefully, leaving the surface as smooth as possible. There are two methods by which it can be browned: one is to plunge it into a deep pot of boiling fat for about one min¬ ute; the qther is to butter the entire surface of the bread and put it into a hot oven, being careful not to let it burn. Care must be taken that the inside is as brown as the outside; if not, the sauce will soak through the crorcstade and spoil it. ^Creamed oysters, stewed lobster, chicken, or any kind of meat that is served in a sauce, can be served in the croustade.
