Forget everything, but what you are going to do when you sit down to the table, and before you know it, if you are a sufferer from nerves and indigestion, you will have lost all signs of dyspepsia, and will have gained several pounds of good solid flesh. Of course, one of the chief rules in the cure for such sufferers is "Dona worry." How easy it is to say it!

For indoor work use linseed oil, turpentine, and a little 'dryers,' observing that the less oil, the less will be the gloss, and that for 'flatted white,' etc, the colour being ground in oil, will scarcely require
any further addition of that article, as the object is to have it dull. Tbe best 'dryers,' are, litharge and sugar of lead-the former for dark and middle tints, and the latter fcr light ones.
