"In the stove oven, to be sure.

Ah, that's it. My mother al-

pushed back his chair and left the
room.

The brick oven was in the sinter

Peggy said, had never been used or
disturbed since .the day' of Aunt
Brierly's shock. The kitchen itself
had fallen into disuSe as a kitchen

• There are but few preparations oi medicine
which have withstood tile impartial judgment of
the people Mr any gr'eht length of time. One of
these is Tuo3rAs' ELECTRIC Ore, purely a prepar-
ation of six of some of the best oils that are known,
each one possessing vistues of its own. Scientifie
physieians know that 'medicines natty be formed of
severalingredients in certain fixed proportions of
greater power, and producing effects which could
never result from. the use of any one of them, or in
different combinations. Thus in the preparation
of this oil a chemlbal change takes place, forming
a compound which conld not by any possibility be
made frogt any other cembination or proportions
of the same ingredients, or an r other ingredients,
and entirely different from anything ever before
made, one which produces the most astonishing re-
sults, and having vawider range of application
than any medicine ever before discovered. It con-
tains no alcohol or other volatile liquids, conse-
quently loses nothing by evaporation. Wherever
applied you get the benefit of every drop; whereas
with other preparations nearlyoull the alcohol is
