    To Restore Grey Hair to its Original Colour. A Bingle bottle of “ Gallup’s Mexican Hair Renewer ” will do it, and it is to be had of any chemist at 3s. 6d. per bottle. Muffins. To one quart of milk add two eggs well beaten, a lump of butter half the size of an egg, and flour enough to make a stiff batter. Stir in half- a-pint of yeast. Let them stand until perfectly light, and then bake on a griddle, in tin rings made for the purpose. These are merely strips of tin three-quarters-of-an-inch wide, made into rings from two and a half to three inches in diameter, without bottom, the ring being simply placed on a griddle, and the batter poured in to fill it. Omelette. Six eggs, yolks and whites beaten separately; seven gpoonfuls of sugar. Flavor with lemon, and bake fifteen minutes. Pudding Sauce. Two cups fine white sugar, one cup of butter, one wine-glass of wine, two eggs; beat all this together for half-an-hour; then scald it, but do not boil. “ Pleasley Works School, Mansfield, February 13th, 1867. “ Gentlemen—Having used 1 Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup ’ in our family for more than two years, I can speak very highly of its effect. It really seems to work wonders with our little ones while teething. A single dose generally gives ease, and if given at bed-time will ensure a good night’s rest. I give this testimonial entirely unsolicited, as I feel that a medicine of such value ought to be made as public as possible. “ F. JAMES, Schoolmaster. “To Messrs. Hole and Hollingworth, Chemists, Mansfield.” Batter Pudding. Nine eggs, yolks and whites beaten separately, one pint of milk, one spoonful of flour to each egg. Boil one hour. Sauce. Plum Pudding without Eggs. Half-a-pound of grated bread, quarter-a-pound of chopped suet, one table-spoonful of flour, half-a-pound of currants, more than two ounces of sugar, one glass of brandy, milk enough to make a stiff batter. Boil in a cloth four hours, or bake it, adding a quarter-a-pound of raisins. Throat Affections and Hoarseness. All suffering from Irritation of the Throat and Hoarseness will be agreeably surprised at the almost immediate relief afforded by the use of “Brown’s Bronchial Troches.” The demulcent ingredients allay pul¬ monary irritation, and after public speaking or singing, when the throat is wearied and weakened by too much exercise, their use will give renewed strength to the vocal organs.
