Chapter 8

From W. VESALIUS PETTIGREW, M.D.--"I have no hesitation in stating that I have never met with any medicine so efficacious as an anti-spasmodic and sedative. I have used it in Consumption, Asthma, Diarrhoea, and other diseases, and am most perfectly satisfied with the results."

From DR. M'MILMAN, of New Galloway, Scotland.--"I consider it the most valuable medicine known."

G. HAYWARD, Esq., Surgeon, Stow-on-ye-Wold.--"I am now using Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne with marvellous good effects in allaying inveterate sickness in pregnancy."

DR. M'GRIGOR CROFT, late Army Staff, says:--"It is a most valuable medicine."

J. C. BAKER, Esq., M.D., Bideford.--"It is without doubt the most valuable and certain anodyne we have."

DR. GIBBON, Army Medical Staff, Calcutta.--"Two doses completely cured me of Diarrhoea."

From G. V. RIDOUT, Esq., Surgeon, Egham.--"As an astringent in severe Diarrhoea, and an anti-spasmodic in Colic, with Cramps in the Abdomen, the relief is instantaneous. As a sedative in Neuralgia and Tic-Doloreux its effects were very remarkable. In Uterine Affections I have found it extremely valuable."

CAUTION.--Beware of Spurious Compounds or Imitations of "Chlorodyne." Dr. Browne placed the Recipe for making "Chlorodyne" in the hands of Mr. Davenport ONLY; consequently, there can be no other Manufacturer. The genuine bears the words, "Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne," on the Government Stamp of each Bottle.--Sold only in Bottles at 2_s._ 9_d._, and 4_s._ 6_d._, by the Sole Agent and Manufacturer,

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU EAT.

BORWICK'S is _the_ BAKING POWDER recommended by Dr. Hassall (Analyst to the _Lancet_, Author of "Adulterations Detected," etc.) It was the _first_, and is the _best_ Baking Powder--often imitated, but never equalled. Its merits are too well known to require any _puffing_ by the Proprietor. Warranted free from alum, found in most of the worthless imitations. Try it once, and you will never use the trash made from inexpensive materials, and recommended by unprincipled shopkeepers, because they realize a larger profit by the sale. As you value your health, insist upon having BORWICK's Baking Powder only.

Sold retail by most Druggists, Grocers, and Oilmen, in 1d., 2d., 4d., and 6d. packets, and 1s. boxes. Wholesale by G. BORWICK, 21, Little Moorfields, E. C.

LIFE FOR THE CONSUMPTIVE.

One Tablespoonful of the PATENT OZONIZED COD LIVER OIL, three times a day, conveys artificially to the lungs of the Consumptive and delicate, the vital properties of Oxygen without the effort of inhalation, and has the wonderful effect of reducing the pulse while it strengthens the system. The highest Medical authorities pronounce it the nearest approach to a specific for Consumption yet discovered--in fact, it will restore to health when all other remedies fail. See _Lancet_, March 9th, 1861.

Sold by all Chemists, in 2s. 6d., 4s. 9d., and 9s. bottles. Wholesale by G. BORWICK, Sole Licensee, 21, Little Moorfields, London.

FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH.

This excellent FAMILY PILL is a Medicine of long-tried efficacy for purifying the blood, and correcting all Disorders of the Stomach and Bowels. Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of its salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength; a healthy action of the liver, bowels, and kidneys will rapidly take place; and renewed health will be the quick result of taking this medicine, according to the directions accompanying each box.

PERSONS OF A FULL HABIT, who are subject to headache, giddiness, drowsiness, and singing in the ears, arising from too great a flow of blood to the head, should never be without them, as many dangerous symptoms will be entirely carried off by their timely use; and for elderly people, where an occasional aperient is required, nothing can be better adapted.

For FEMALES these Pills are truly excellent, removing all obstructions, the distressing headache so prevalent with the sex, depression of spirits, dulness of sight, nervous affections, blotches, pimples, and sallowness of the skin, and give a healthy juvenile bloom to the complexion.

Sold by all medicine vendors. Observe the name of "THOMAS PROUT, 229, Strand, London," on the Government Stamp. Price 1s. 1-1/2d. and 2s 9d. per box.

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.

Price 1s. 1-1/2d. and 2s. 9d. per box.

This preparation is one of the benefits which the Science of modern Chemistry has conferred upon mankind; for during the first twenty years of the present century to speak of a cure for the Gout was considered a romance; but now the efficacy and safety of this Medicine is so fully demonstrated, by unsolicited testimonials from persons in every rank of life, that public opinion proclaims this as one of the most important discoveries of the present age.

These Pills require no restraint of diet or confinement, during their use, and are certain to prevent the disease attacking any vital part.

BROWN & POLSON'S

PATENT CORN FLOUR

Being first of the kind manufactured in the United Kingdom and France, it is in both Countries not only

THE ORIGINAL,

but is indisputably the Only article of the kind, which by its own merit, and the simple publicity of its uses, has been adopted by the best families as an invariable table delicacy. It is prepared by a process to which long experience has given the greatest perfection, and from grain carefully selected from the choicest European crops; these advantages are so appreciable, that its quality has by comparison been preferred to all others, and

THE LANCET,

in a notice given July 24, 1858, states, "=This is superior to anything of the kind known="--an opinion indisputably confirmed by scientific tests and public appreciation.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS,

AND

THE LEISURE HOUR,

have given most interesting notices accompanied by engravings, explanatory of the process of manufacture; and Dr. LANKESTER, F.R.S., F.L.S., speaks of it in the highest terms of praise in his Lectures at the South Kensington Museum, on "Food."--(Hardwicke, Piccadilly, pp. 71-80.)

Families by writing on their orders ... _packets' Brown and Polson_, and refusing to receive any but the packages which bear BROWN and POLSON'S name in full and Trade Mark, would discourage the fraudulent means by which the substitution of inferior kinds are encouraged.

Many Grocers, Chemists, etc., who supply the best quality, in preference to best profit articles, sell none but BROWN and POLSON'S.

My object in writing this little book is to show you how you may prepare and cook your daily food, so as to obtain from it the greatest amount of nourishment at the least possible expense; and thus, by skill and economy, add, at the same time, to your comfort and to your comparatively slender means. The Recipes which it contains will afford sufficient variety, from the simple every-day fare to more tasty dishes for the birthday, Christmas-day, or other festive occasions.

To those of my readers who, from sickness or other hindrance, have not money in store, I would say, strive to lay by a little of your weekly wages ... that your families may be well fed, and your homes made comfortable.
