Certain Cure for tie Cramp.-An eff
iectual preventive for The cramp in the
calves of the legs, which is a most erie-
Vous pain, is TO stretch out the heel of
the leg as far as possible, at the same
time drawing up the toes towards the
body. This will frequently stop a fit of
the cEamp, after it has commenced; and
Il person will, after few times, be able,
in general, to prevent the fit coming On,
though its approach be between sleep
ing and waking. Persons subjectto this
complaint, should have a board fixed at
the bottom Of the bed, against which
the foot should be pressed when the
pain commences. i'm. F,ayaler.
