We are favoured by an intelligent
subscriber with the following, for the
use of the afflicted.
Cure forthe polypus IN the nose.-In
conversation with friend from the
western couatry. have been informed
of fact, too important, as it appears to
me, 10 be withheld from the public.
His daughter was troubled with a
polypus in the Eose, which was extract
ed by surgeon, but 5000 grew again to
its former size. He heard Of the blood
root as cure, and it was tried with such
efficacy, that the polypus shrivel-
led away 10 about ten days, and was
soon entirely gone.
Another young woman in the same
neigh5ourhood had one so large as 10
spread her nostrils considerably, and to
affect her speech. After using the
blood root a short time the polypus
dropped out entire, and she was soon
well.
Receipt.--Take l-2 an ounce Of blood
root (Sanguinaria Canadensis) finely
pulverized, and sift it, aud one dram Of
CalomeI. Mix them together for a
sternutatory. A small pinch Of this
powder is to be snuffed up the nostril
three times day; and syringe of the
following wash is to be thrown up the
nostril twice day.
Dissolve l-2 an ounce of powdered
Alum in gill of brandy, shake the
phial until it is dissolved.

was done TO either party.
BY the above arrival, we have receiv-
