scrofuIa and Chronic Diseases.

The following is taken from work pub.
lished by ID. A. Tyler, M. D., Of New lia-
ven, CT. -
The Rock Rose has been used by Prof Eli
Ives, Of New Haven, for about thirty years,
anterior to this period. Says DR.. Tyler,
have no indication of its use in regular prac-
tice, how or when Prof. Ives first obtained
it, he does not now recollect. lie prescrib-
cd it in cases Of Scrofula, and always in
forms of decoction. 1t is now q somewhat
common article in domestic practice, for the
cure of Scrofula and Cutaneous diseases.
Whitlaw, Scotch Betanist OF notoriety,
who travelled in America about 1914 and 'l5.
learned its use probably in Canada, and
used it for medicating Baths in his estab blish-
ment in England, which became celebrated
for the cure of Scrofula and other Chronic
Diseases. The Rock Rose possesses the pow
er of resolving Scroiulous tumors, and one
of the first and most obvious effects of this
medicine, is an improved appetite and diges-
ton.

EGy- We have heard complaints of

sweepings being thrown into the street
in front of our office. Now, we do not
wish to accuse any body wrongfully, but
we know pretty we'll where the rubbish
comes from, as it consists principally of
old pieces Of paper, &c, and as it seems
to be something of a nuisance We hope
those who had the audacity to sweep
their stuff into the street will hereafter
be so consideratc as to ----let it re-
main in their Off shop, we mean.

BG- The PlainfeH Gazette accuse,

Day- The Plaiafeld Gazette accuses
us of getting proud, and in the very
same paper the editor goes off into a
grand splurge because forsooth he has
been appointed one of the overseers
of the poor of the township of Plain
field" Now, we don't think that Office
one worth making such a fuss about,
anyhow. Why, we have teen one of the
overseers of the poor in the township of
Westerly ever since we moved into it,
and expect to be as long as we remain
here unless, as Mr.. Macawber says,
" something should turn up" which, by
the way, We don't much anticipate.
