Talnoe, Sept. 8, 1865.
Sir,—l beg to be allowed to make known for the benefit
of all a remedy against the " Typhus Bovilis," now raging
in England. When this disease 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 bo placed in a vapour bath and
rubbed down, the moist temperature of which should bo
such as not to cause too groat 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-
dicn the treatment. Cooling draughts and food easily
gested 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 large estate of Count A. Bob-
rineky. 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 fellow 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 Boor 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 after the room had
been already heated to a temperature of 35 dogs. Reaumur.

bear was shot at North Elsworth, Maine, the other day,
with a gun that was surrendered by the French to the
British at Louisburg, Nova Scotia, in 1755. It was used
in the battles of Concord, Lexington, and Bunker-hill;
also at the siego of Castine, and in the War of 1812 with
Great Britain.—New York Times.
