How to take oil.

--The medical men of Paris recommend the following way of administering castor oil to children. The quantity of oil prescribed is poured into a small earthen pan over a moderate fire, an egg broken in it, and stirred up so as to form something like what cooks shall frittered eggs; when it is done, a little salt or sugar, or a few drops of orange water, or some current jelly should be added. The sick child will eat it eagerly and never discover the fraud.
