Care for Rabbing Distemper.

Birthstone is a sure and speedy rem
edy in the disease called the Rubbing
Distemper, which sometimes attacks
cattle and sheep in which the animals
seem to be tormented with intolerable
itching of the head and will rub off'the
skin to procure relief unless speedy
remedy be applied, the disease will
prove fatal in from one to three days.
We know of 10 other remedy but sui.
phur, and this if administered in time
will cure, and we believe will prevent
the disease from being taken by the
animals to which it is administered !:
when therefore the disorder makes its
appearance or is apprehended, let pow
dered Birthstone be administered 10 all
animals on the farm that chew the cud.
We speak from experience, having
tried the remedy, and found it cons
petely successful, both as a cure and
a preventative.

Der of gentlemen were seated on the
piazza. After low bow to the com.

inform him what was good for burn.
A young physician (there being sever.

much complaisance, gave learned
lecture on burns, the mode oftrestment,

by the Kentuckian, who informed him
that his prescription would not answer
his present complaint, as his saddle

This introduction of the Judge rather
mortified the pride of the Senator, but
he managed 10 pass it off on the pre-

however, was determined to follow him
up until he should notice him. Accord
