ERYsIPEI.As-C RANBERRIEs.-We are able to
record another case OF complete cure of erysip-
elas by the simple application of the raw cram
berries pounded fine. The patient was a young
lady, one side of whose face had become SO
much swollen and infamed, that the eye had
become closed, and the pain excessive. A poul-
tice of cranberries was applied, and after sew
eral changes the pain ceased, the Inflammation
and in the course of couple of days
every vestige of the disease had disappeared.
