TREE-MIGNONETTE . —Tree-Mignonette is produced by growing a single plant in a pot and nipping out all the side-shoots as fast as they make their appearance until the desired height of stem is obtained . Use a compost consisting of good turfy loam two parts , thoroughly-decomposed cow-dung one part , and about a fourth part of silver sand . The loam should be chopped up rather roughly , and the manure and sand then

incorporated with it . When the stem is of the requisite height , nip out the top , and then stop the three or four sideshoots that are emitted from near the top , and have a ring of wire fixed up on a strong upright to train them to . The plants must not be allowed to suffer for the want of water in any stage of growth , and after they are well established in their blooming pots , water alternately with weak liquid manure . Sow two or three seeds in three-inch pots , then thin down to one , leaving the

strongest , and when the pots are well filled with roots re-pot into either six or eight inch size . Syringe the foliage frequently and adopt other rededial measures to keep green-fly and other pests in subjection . A genial growing temperature will be necessary during the winter to keep them growing steadily during that season , but they may be placed in the open air for a few months in the middle of the summer . When in the open air , stand the pots upon a bed of coal-ashes , ancl attend to them regularly . —Gardener ' s Magazine .

HOLLOAVAY ' S PILLS AND OINTMENT . —Prevention before Cure . —The summer advancing with its increasing temperature , green vegetables and unripe fruit will bring it many disorders little prevailing in winter . The chest and digestive organs generally are inconvenienced at this season . All invalids should know that in Holloway's preparations they will find a preventive

against approaching ailments , and a speedy remedy for established diseases . To them all may look with certain hope of benefit , be their ailments many or few , light or agonising ; whether of a temporary or permanent character . The whole range oi vegetable productions can exhibit no other curative so constantly successful as Holloway ' s . Neither Pills nor Ointment contain a grain of any mineral or other noxious substance . —[ Advt . ]

CROSBY ' S BALSAMIC COUGH ELIXER . — Opiates Narcotics , and Squills are too often invoked to give relief in Coughs , Colds , and all Pulmonary diseases . Instead of such fallacious remedies , which yield momentary relief at the expense of enfeebling the digestive organs and thus increasing that debility which lie j , at the root of the malady , modern science points to Crosby ' s Balsamic Cough Elixer , as the true remedy . —Select Testimonial . Dr . Rooke , Scarborough , author of the " Anti-Lancet , " says : "I have repeat

edly observed how very rapidly and invariably it subdued cough Pain , and irritation of the chest in cases of pulmonary consumption , and I can , with the greatest confidence , recommend itasa most valuable adjunct , to an otherwise strengthening treatment for this disease . " —This medicine , which is free from opium , and squills , not only allays the local irritation , but improves digestion and strengthens the constitution . Hence it is used with thc most signal success in

Asthmas , Bronchitis , Consumpnon , Coughs , Influenza , Night Sweats of Consumption , Quinsy , and all affections of the thread and chest .
