LONDON GAZETfE—This Evening,

FOREIGN-OFFICE, OCT. 14.
Earl Russell has received the following despatch from
her Majesty's Ambassador at St. Petersburg
St. Petersburg, Oct. 3, 1865. ,
My Lord —A farmer in the interior of the Empire has
addressed to me a letter, requesting that the greatest pos-
sible publicity may be given in England to the treatment
for the cure of the prevailing cattle disease adopted by
him with marked success on two several occasions.

As, under the present unfortunate circumstances, tho
result of the writer's long experience may Possibly be
found of use, I beg leave to forward herewith to your
lordship the letter in question, together with a translation.
—I have, &c.,

trainee, Sept. 8, 1865.
Sir,—l beg to be allowed to make known for the benefit
of all a remedy against the " Typhus Bennis," now raging
in England. When this disea3e broke out in the Ukraine
during the Crimean War, it was of such eminent service to
me that of 600 head of cattle I lost but 6 per cent.
The remedy is simply the following: As soon as the first
symptom of the malady (dryness of the skin) shows itself,
the diseased animal should be placed in a vapour bath and
rubbed down, the moist temperature of which should be
such as not to cause too great a difficulty in breathing.
Then the animal should be rubbed dry, covered over with
several woollen blankets and put in a stall thoroughly
sheltered from draughts, the greatest care being taken to
prevent its catching cold. This is of the utmost import..
ance in the treatment. Cooling draughts and food easily
digested were then given to it by me.
This simple treatment has already twice saved me in
Russia from great losses.
For.,the last 31 years I have farmed and bred cattle.
The last 13 I spent in Mecklenburg, and the last 18 in. Russia, where I managed the largo estate of Count A. Bob-
rinsky. I then remained abroad for a short time, and now for three years I lease a farm belonging to Count P. Schou-
valoff. Both estates are in the Government of Kieff.
From my heart I trust this simple treatment may be of
as much service to my follow farmers in England as it has
been to me, and I entreat your Excellency in the general
interest to cause the greatest possible publicity to be given
to this treatment.
The vapour bath I used was of a very primitive con-
struction' and consisted of a room, the floor of which
was not level but raised at one end, so that the animal
could be brought by degrees into a higher temperature.
The steam I obtained by means of an oven covered with
iron plates, on which water was poured alter the room had
been already heated to a temperature of 35 degs. Reaumur.
