TO CURE THE FIsTuLA.

Mr.. EpIroR 81 make no apology for
sending you the following cure for
Fistula, before ii has broke. ! have
tried il only once. but then with the
most complete success, and believe it
will never fail.
Prepare an iron spindle, about twice
as large as that used in the common
spinning wheel. curved little near the
point. 80 that in burning the point will
turn little out from the horse-then
with sharp knife, cut the horses skin
horizontally, about an inch in length,
near the lower part of the swelling, on
either side, (for one side is sufficiently
this cut can be easily made by holding
the skin between the thumb and fore
finger of the left hand. After heating
the spindle red-hof, raise the top part
OF the cut skin, and inserting the point
Of the spindle. run ii up as near through
the centre Of the swelling as you can
letting the point Of the spindle pass ou
several inches above the skin, so as I,
enlarge the orifice-draw il back i'm
mediately. IL the spindle is sufficient
ly hot, the operation of burning vii
require but moment. The horse shonlt
then be turned loose for one or tw,
days, until the wound matters. Bot
the top and bottom Of the wound shoul,
then be washed twice day with soal
and warm water, and after being pro
perly cleansed, apply, after eacl
washing, to each end Of the wound
add especially to the upper, as muc
finely pulserized burnt coppcras as Wi
lheaI, and the fistula will have disaT
peared. The skin being cut crosswis
at the lower end, the hair will cove
and hide the scar-the upper one bein
smaller will show but little. The ger
tleman who kindly informed me Of tn
above mode Of curing this sometime
troublesome disease, and who perform

Fraud.-There were recently received
al 81. Louis, what purporied 10 be
eighteen casks Of wine and brandy, but
which, on examination, proved 10 be only
colored water, with something acid mixed
with il. The New Orleans Bulletin no
iices the fraud, and s,aies thai The casks
were received in thai city from New York,
but not landed, having been conveyed d.
recily from the Nav York packet to the
steamboat for ST. Louis. The Bulletin
adds:
Al a part Of the expenses al New York
was for duties, il follows that the casks
when landed there contained real wine and
brandy, for, OF course, they were all ex-
amined, guaged and marked by the reye-
nue. officers, and we presume must have
gone into the Public Custom house stores,
and from tire latter to the packet ship. Ii
this is SO, the suspicion naturally arises
that The change Of The contents took place
in the bonded warehouses. All any rate,
most searching investigation will be
made, and whether the fraud took place
in the public warehouses or by the ship
pers at New York, il will be fereiled out
and exposed.
