REMEDY FOR BUR MS.

A Philadelphia physician prcscribes,
through the U. s. Gazette, the following,
as an infalliblc remedy for scalds md burns.
He says that fourteen years experience in
his practice has demonstrated its wonder.
ful efficacy. The relief is almost instan'a
ncous, and from three to thirty minutes re
moves all pain.
The first knowledge I had Of it was the
almost miraculous cure Of little boy, who
fell into n half hogshcad Of boiling water,
prepared for scad,ng the trls,lcs from
swine. The entire person and limbs of the
boy passed under the scalding water up to
his chin. so as to scaJ bis whole neck
On removing his clothes, nearly all his
skin followed from his neck hands, arms.
chest, back, abdomen, and almost every bit
of skin from his lower extremeiies In this
deplorublc condition, literally faycd alive
with scalding water, the remedy was
promptly applied, as momen'ary opplica-
ton until the physicians should arrive
Two eminent, physicians soon came, aud on
learning the extent Of the scald, pronounced
it certainly fal al case, and directed the
boy to remain with the remedy over him
until he should die. In six weeks he was
restored quite well, with scarcely n scar on
any part Of his person or limbs. The rem.
cdy increases in value from the fact, that
under almost all circumstances il may be
obtained. It is as follows ;--Take 500,
from chimney where wood il burned, rob
it fine. and mix one part SCOT to three parts
or nearly so of hogs lard, fresh butter, OF
any kind Of fresh grease, that is not salted
spread this on linen or muslin, or any cotton
cloth for easier and more perfect adap alton
If in very extensive burns or scalds, the
cloth should be torn into stripes, before
putting over the scalj. Let the remedy
be freely and fully applied, SO as to perfect
ly cover all the burned parts. No olhe,
application is required until the patient il
well, except to apply fresh applications o
the SCOT and lard. &c.

"Capt. Wallace lay with his fleet in the
bay, and on the 18th of January, l776,
they went up the river TO the Island of Pru-
dence, where the Marines were landed on
the South part of the Island.
A small company of Militia from East
Greenwich, commanded by Capt Pearcei
was on the Island, who engaged the marines;
but being greatly outnumbered were COM
PEELED to retreat; they lost one man killed.
an inhabitan, Of the Island, who had voluh-
teered for that occasion his name was Dd-
rius Chase, son of Aaron Chase of Ports

retreat from the Island and landed on War

"A wanton destruction of the property

the houses there were burned, one Of which
was the ferry house on the South, and an
other the ferry house on the North part of
the Island. Capt. Barton (,he same who
afierward took Gen. Prescott from the Is
lsnd) being ordered from head quarters, on
the Island, to reinforce Capt Pearce, en-
barked his men in boats, from ths shore of
Rhode Island, and landed at Sands Point
in the evening. (Mr. Fish, the narrator, act
ed as pilot to this reinforcement.) They
landed about 10 o'clock p. NJ, and travell-
ed in search of Capt. Peurce oil night--in
the morning, being hungry aud f,ligued,
they stopped at the house of Mr. Samuel
Pearce, but before refreshments could be
prepared an alarm summoned them to duty
the Marines had again landed-an ac-
ton ensued. and after about fifteen minutes
fighting, Major Tailman, with so Militia
under his command appeared, and REIN
forced the American party, at a moment
when they were placed in the utmost peril.
The Marines then retreated to their main
body, which constituted $50 men. The
British lost an officer killed, and one man
wounded and taken prisoner. The Amer
leans had only two men wounded. The
wounded on the side of tho Marines could
not be nscertaiued, they were taken on
board the ships"
