NUrMEGs.-A correspondent at North Var
mouth wishes to caution the public through
the medium of our paper, against the deleter-
ious effects of too free use of nutmeg. Ho
says -
"Having recently purchased the article,
took broken one and put it in my pocket,
and in the course of six hours, had eaten a.
bout half of one. Soon after, felt dizzi-
ness, and an unaccountable arrangement OF
intelect-.rancient loss of memory-yet per.
feet consciousness of all that said, or did. l
become remarkably loquacious and seemed to
be neither in this world nor the other, felt hap
py, and free from any pain-I was truly In an
undesirable state. | felt as have supposed
one might feel, that had been magnetlzed'-
Nv friends were greatly alarmed, and the doc
tor was sent for, post haste. Bleeding waS
pruposed-but, as thought knew at least as
much as any one, was not willing to be bled.
After keeping them laughing and crying till
about IL O'Clock at night, | retired to bed.
without any thing having been done for me.
awoke in the morning and was as well usual,
having never been sick day in my life
Since this occurrence, several cases have como
to my knowledge in which persons having
eaten Of nutmeg, were affected tho same as l
had been. Had eaten { very little more,
have no doubt i. would have proved fatal, a'
learn il has been, in other oa-es."
