U Some of the European physicians
give the extract Of bullock's blood to
children, to the extent of half an ounce
in day, dissolved in water. In many
anemic states the favorable results is
said to be so striking that parents, per-
ceiving the improvement, generally desire
q continuance of the agent. Children
who were in the extreme stage of exhaus-
tons whose stomachs were so irritable
that milk and beeftea or broth were
rejected by them, and cod liver oil could
not be in the least retained, have been
observed to bear the extract of ox-blood
well, and to thrive admirably under its
effects.
To CATCH RArs.-Take your bed and
place it on the floor where the rats art
most troublesome then place bits Of
cheese, sweetmeats, &C., on the pillows
and clothes, get in bed and blow out the
light and lay still the rats will soon
make their appearance, and when they
get fairly to work on the cheese, &C.,
