DANGER CT GUN CoTToN.-We find the FOL
may serve as caution to some of our readers
We saw yesterday revolving pistol, one Of
the barrels of which was nearly blown away
by the force of charge Of gun cotton, only
three grains in weight. The piece was torn
from the top Of the barrel and could not be
found. 1t seems astonishing that SO small a
quantity as three grains in weight of this new
explosive material could burst strong pistol;
and it should be warning to those who are
now freely experimenting whit, to be careful
lest painful consequences follow the ignorant
use Of it.

HydfOphobia and the bite of a Rattle
snake.
S. w. WHITE.

Hydsophobia and the bite of u Rattle
snake.
The ST. Louis Revsile contains letter from
gentleman signing himself Nathan Holmes,
on the mode of cure for hydrophobia, and
the bite of the rattlesnake. The writer frs
crticises the maidstone and the belief in its eff
hcacF. He thinks from the form of the mad
stone-which he describes as cellular stone
that il II ever cured hydrophobia, it was by &C.
ting as cupping glass The mode Of applca-
ton, as described, he says, isto dip itinto warm
water, and apply j, 10 the wound, to (which it
adaeres, sucking from it until it is full. when it
drops off; it is then washed in the water and a.
gain applied. If this be true he reasons that i,
can be no more than the operations of cupping
which he indeed regards as a successful mode
of curing hydrophobia, if resorted to in time
The application of the cupping glass, together
with frequent wiping of the wound, with linen
dipped in warm water, would, he contends,
cnre SO effectually, that not one in hundred
patients would be lest.
The same remedy he recommends fortbe bite
OF arattlesnake, and notes as authority the ex-
ample OF the pious queen, who saved the life of
her husband by sucking the poison from his
wound. But of all remedies for the bite of
or any other serpent, he says Wsis-
Key is the best. His advice, (Which may some
day be urged as an excuse for getting drunk
in snaky region concludes thus:
"lt you raise your patient above fever heat
before the bad symptoms come on, they will
certainly never appear. have often prescrib-
cd this remedy, and have always foundte sue
cessful. An adult will drink near quart of
whiskey in a short time. I think any other
stimulus would do as well, if as potent l do
not believe that fifty rattlesnakes could poison
an individual while fully drunk"

CURE FOR THE CONSUMPTION An officer
in the British service, resident in The East
Indies, had been stricken with the fatal dis
ease, and was reduced by tito nearly skeleton
his friends looked upon him as doomed
man, and he himself had given up all hopes
of long continuance of life.-He was one
morning crawling about his grounds, and &C
cidentally went into shed where man had
been bottling some wine; at the moment of
his masters entrance had just melted some
rosn to seal the corks with. 1t could not be
otherwise than that those within the room
should inhale the smoke arising from the rosin.
To the surprise of the afflicted one, his res
piration because free, and unobstructed, and
it instantly occurred to him that the relief he
experienced was produced by his having
inhaled the rosinous smoke. He remained
better during the day, and without consulting
his doctor repeated tue experiment in his
sleeping room. That night he slept soundly-
a blessing lie had not known for years.
Twice day, for a week, did he continue
his experiment, and with increased success
He then mentioned the affair to his medical ad-
wiser, who was equally surprised with himself
at the improvement of his PATIENTS health, and
advised him to continue the inhalalions night
and morning. In the space of three months
his cough left him, and his appetite returned.
In six months bis health was SO improved that
be contemplated returning to his native coun-
try; he delayed, however doing SO until year
had expired. Sill persisting in his new found
remedy, his health was completely restored,
and he was once more sound man.
