right ear. Before he left the house, be picked
up the ear from the ground, and put it into his

following morning, he went To surgeon and
showed him the ear, now cold and somewhat
crushed. The surgeon washed the ear, in spl-
rits & water and made a new edge to the wound
of the part which the man still possessed, and
TO that of the ear which he had lost. After ac-
curately fitting the parts he kept them together

were removed in order to make sure that the

these symptoms disappeared, and the helix be-
gan to assume its vital warmth; the iobuiar eX-

Influence Of The !Stom"ch.-The emotions Of
the mind have Il powerful influence upon the
stomach. Let a person who IS going to sit down
to dinner with good appetite. receive piece
of news, either exceedingly joyful or exceed
ingly distressing. his appetite goes in mo-
ment. Children who are about to set out on
pleasant journey, it is well known, cannot
eat. This, when | was a child, used To be cali
ed being tourney proud" On the other hand,
blow unon the stomach will sometimes take
away life instantly; drink of cold water,
when the BODY has been very hot has often bad
the same effect. Attend To your companions
when on a journey a-io"t as their Stomach*
grow empty. how su!len and silent the whole
party becomes! let ii crust Of bread. little
cheese. glass of ale or wine be taken, and
cheeriulncSs Immediately rei@ns, even long be
fore any nutriment has had time to reach the
general circulative system. These things al!
show the general sympathy between the stomach
and every other part of the body.
