To HAVE Coon VIYEGAR.-The cowherds on
the Alps and in several parts of France use milk
whey to make the sharpest vinegar, and they
alsoextract from it a salt called in pharmacy SUI

as the best detergent to purify the blood and cure
nlaints. The method they use to prepare this
%rraIti is this after having separated all the ca
seous and oily parts, the whey is clarified and
boiled until reduced to one-iourth part OF the
whole. which they deposit in wooden or e%arthen
pans in a cool place. In "A short time the sac

Nor deem it void OF power;

Waiting lis natal hour.

And call it back TO life

And still unholy strife.

Work and despair not give thy mite,
Nor care how small it be
