    Frosting for Cake, For the weight of one egg take nine heaping teaspoonsful of white sugar and one teaspoonful Poland starch. Beat the eggs to a stiff froth, so that the plate can be turned upside down without the egg falling off; stir in the sugar slowly with a wooden spoon, ten or fifteen minutes, constantly. To frost a common-sized cake one and a half eggs will suffice. Baked Fish. Ingredients.—Any cold fish, macaroni, milk, butter, grated cheese, bread¬ crumbs and cayenne. Mode.—Boil some, macaroni very tender in milk, about twice as much as there is cold fish, which should, be broken into very small pieces; mix with it the grated cheese and cayenne; put it into a flat dish with a few bread¬ crumbs and some pieces of butter at the top, and bake a nice light brown. Any fish will do for this dish. Coughs, Hoarseness, Asthma, Or any irritation of the Throat or Bronchial Tubes, relieved by allowing one of “ Brown’s Bronchial Troches ” to dissolve slowly in the mouth. John W. Dennis, Chemist, Louth, sags:— “ November 3 0th, 186 5. “ ‘ Brown’s Bronchial Troches ’ have been of invaluable service to an aged member of my own family in a severe attack of bronchitis during the last winter, and I believe her freedom from a similar attack this winter is only to be attributed to the use of the Troches (taking, of course, great care to pre¬ vent recurrence), of which she speaks in the highest terms.” Veal Forcemeat. Scrape one pound of veal and a half pound of fat bacon; beat them well together in a marble mortar, adding the crumb of a French roll, powdered mace and nutmeg one drachm each, one tablespoonful of chopped onions parsley, and mushroom, with pepper and salt. Mix all this together with two well-beaten eggs, and rub it through a seive. This forcemeat may be used on all occasions for balls, pies, &c. If rolled up in balls, covered thickly with bread crumbs, fried in hot fat, and served with fried parsley, it makes a nice dish. Filleted Soles. Take two large soles, cut off the heads and tails, draw the knife straight down on the bone. Then incline the knife on one side, which will raise one fillet; proceed in the same manner to take off the others. Cut each fillet in half, egg and bread-crumb them, and fry them in hot lard. Dish them on a napkin, garnish with parsley, and serve with shrimp sauce in a boat. Mr. G. A. Uannaford, Chemist, St. Leonard's Road, Bromley, writes, August 11th, 187 0:— “I sell a great deal of ‘ Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup,’ I may say hundreds of bottles, and in no single case have I known it to fail. In fact, I know no better medicine for children whilst cutting teeth, for it relieves all those ailments incidental to them during such a period. I honestly give you this testimonial, and if you like to publish it you are more than welcome.” ■w i——n i» nw —r noq^ir ti ou,*»wy-»nr
