toms were pronounced OF an alarming character by
skfu physician who was called IN 10 examine

,r1fr- treatment, instead OF the medicines Nith
some hesiIancy and msslvlnss ' e resolved 10 do
so-consequeny put the medicines away, as a last
resort. The enid was Invested OF all her clothing

and the child covered with blankets. Alter remain

and 30 repeated during the fist day OF trial. On the
return of the paroXysm of the fever on the second

produced with the FIRST application. lhey were

| flannel sheets, where she slept quietly Tor three
hours. The fever returned again IN Inc evening
and was broken upoI, IN the same manner Inns
course was pursued for five days. and nothing ad-
minis,ercd 10 eat or 10 drink save cold water or

violent every day until the siAth day, when there
was none, and the patient was enabled TO slt up and
receive light nourlshnlent she soon recovered en-

is not far from San Diego, IN lat IS n, the climate
being warm and delightfully."- fine. The same gem
tlcman informs US that many OF the Oregon settlers
have arrived in the neighborhood Of the Bay OF San
Francisco, in the Upper California, and taken up
their abode there. They report Oregon as poor
country-nolhns like the one it was represented 10

a crop of seventy-tive bushels, and this with very
little trouble while the climate IS dry and pure
