Every man must choose.for himself, and abide the result of his choice; but he should never forget that there is an unfailing supply of the beat kind, of literature always available in the newspapers descriptive of the sorrows and sufferings Everted from poor humanity by the use of St Jacobs Oil. A WRINKLE WOETH HAVING. Broiled Beef, Mushrooms, and Pota- ■ toes —Wipe two or three dozen mushrooms, free them from grit with a piece of flannel and salt; put them in a stewpan with loz butter, seasoning, and ketchup; stir over the fire until the mushrooms are quite done, when pour them in the middle -of a wall of mashed browned; then place round the potatoes slices of cold roast beef, nicely broiled over a clear fire; in cooking the mushrooms the ketchup may be dispensed with if there is sufficient gravy. To insure the really delicious ■ flavour of this dish, the instructions given must be accurately followed. The same warning applies with equal force to the use of St Jacobs Oil, for the compiler of the receipt as well as the Saint knew exactly what precautions were necessary in each case to make it a dead sure thing that the public should reap the greatest advantage from,their respective discoveries.
