EXPLANATORY FEVER CURED IN TWELVE
Hours. DR.. Dexter, the proprietor of the
Water cure establishment at Moiristown, N. J.
is said to have cured an eminent medical prac-
titioner of Connecticut, of a violent attack of
inhammatory foyer, in twelve hours. The editor
of the Jerseyman says
| We saw the patient short time after his ar
rival-diseGse was pictured on his countenance,
and he suffered severely from pains in his back
and limbs, After one or two baths, he was put
into bed, and told to drink freely of water
During the night he perspired freely. In the
morning he awokc perfectly free from pain,
with no fever, pulse subsidized from ! 10 to 10
10 thirst and good APPETITE. He sat at the
breakfast table with the family and partook of
food and relish, and during the day was able to
attend to his business as usual.
In this instance tCater alone was used, and in
t,ceIue hours from the time of his entering the
Institution, the patient was entirely free from
disease, although he himself, an M. d. of some
note, had feared long and painful Illness
There have been several interesting cases of
various diseases treated by DIR. Dexter, and all
with extraordinary success. Indeed we might
always say, that with him there is no such
word as fail! With such facts as these before
them, will the public still insist that Hydropa-
thy is HumbugI
/ A FISH TRAP. The New Haven Register
/ gives an account of the latest Yankee notion,
in shape of a patent spring fish hook, BY a
very delicate but ingenious machinery, as soon
as fish attempts to nibble the bait on the
hook, second hook comes down and catches
him in the back of the head, and he is a ''gone
sucker"
A VETERAN WRECKED. Captain Freeman
Gibbs, of Sandwich, says the Barnstable Patriot,
has made NINETY-EIGHT yoyages-one hundred
and nnety.sx passages-between Boston and
Trinidad, and always went safely and without
accident worthy Of note, until, when on his re-
turn voyage, for the 96th time, he was overta-
ken in Boston Bay, by the terrible snow storm
was no escaping-nor could lee shore any
longer be avoided; when he made the best of
his critical position and by the help of his still
continued good fortune, laid his craft, the
baIque Franklin, ashore on Chelsea Beach, af-
ter cutting away he masts and doing all that
experience and prudence could do, to avoid
this calamity.
