troduced into this country about one year since
in the city or New York, where they were sub
jected to the most rigorous and thorough trial il
every hospital in that city, by Professors Valentine

discovered that they possessed strange and ,con-
dertl power in almost instantly relieving all ner-
yous pain, 1Chererer located and so satisfactory
were tine results produced in every case, that their
opinions were published through the public press,
and thousands have been induced to try them, and
in no single instance have they failed TO perform
all we advertise to do. They are patented in this
country, France, England, Germany, Austria and
Belgium, and are in use in every hospital in Eu-
rope, and also in every hospital in N Y. City.
No other Medical Agent can produce so many
from intelligent patients, but from Scientific Ply
sicianS, and their sale, wherever introduced, has
been unparalleled.

near the skin, producing a constant current Of
Electro Magnetsm-can be used by either adults
or children-never get out of repair, and with
proper care will last for years.

REMOVAL OF THE MAIN BONE IN THE
LEO OF A Bny.-John Baja, a lad fifteen
years of age, son of widow lady of
Allegheny city, had received, some six
months ago, an injury Of the right leg
BY fall, in consequence Of which the
whole shaft Of the bone had become de-
cayed. To save the limb DIR. Walter
removed last week, while the boy was
under the influence Of chloroform, the
main bone of the leg from the knee to
the ankle by extirpation. Incredible
as it may appear to the non>profession-
al, that limb could be saved and be
made useful by the removal of the whole
of its main bone, still experience has
taught that new bone will be rapidly
regenerated in childhood, and that the
shape, length, and usefulness Of the limb
will be preserved. This is a triumph
Of modern surgery thus to save limb,
while it is blessing to the afflicted
to be restored without mutilation. The
boy is doing we'll, free from. pain, and
his recovery appears to be certain.

The Way to EIake Good Hominy.

MEsSRs. EDrroRs.-I have acciden.
tally discovered how to make hominy
white and clean without going through
with the usual repeated washings re-
sorted to BY cooks, and it you consider
it worthy publication, you have the
receipt III the few following words I:
Soak the corn you intend having ground
into grits just two minutes, and while
wet send it to mill if ground while
moist thc husks all become loose. and
are easily separated from the cracked
corn by the simple process of sitting
through coarse seiye.
About six weeks since | sent boy
to mill on horseback wltha bag Of corn
to be ground into grits for hominy.
In crossing creek befure arriving at
the mill the bag. slipped off into the
water; without waiting todry the corn
the boy had it ground, and when the
grits we're used they made most beau.
tiful hominy, SO much winter than or
,linary that attributed it to having
selected the corn. The next week
sent some of the same kind of corn,
but the hominy was by no means SO
white, and after hearing from the mil-
lcr that the first corn was damp when
it came to the mill, | concluded tnat
must have been the cause so on the
third week | purposely wet the corn,
aud the result was most beautiful no.
miny. Since then ] have used none
but the whitest hominy, nor will your
readers ever use any other if they once
test this experiment.
Yours, respectfully. R. II.

Hot dishes sometimes leave whitish
marks on vanished tables, when set,
as they should not be, carelessly upon
them. 10 remove it, pour some lamp
oil on the spot, and rub it hard with a
soft cloth. Then pour on little spi>
rits, and rub it dry with another cloth,
and the white mark will disappear,
leaving the table as bright as before.

To CLEAN FEATHERS for eve-
ry gallon of clear water, one pound of
fresh made quick lime, mix them we'll
together, and let it stand twenty four
hours, then pour of the clear liquid.
Put the feathers into a tub, and pour
over them enough lime water to tho>
roughly cover them. Stir them brisk
ly and rapidly, for few minutes. and
leave them to soak for three days.
Then remove them from the lime water,
and thoroughly rinse in clean water,
and spread them to dry. They will
dry better where draught of air can
reach them; aud should be spread very
thinly, and frequently moved. until
they are quite dry. This plan may be
used, either for new feathers, or for
such as have become heavy or impure

CLrASISo WALL PAPEn. cores
pendent of the Ohio Cultivator says:
La your excellent hints about house
.cleanipg, in last number, was a selec-
tion from some exchange, which says
that the very best method Of cleaning
wall paper is to sweep oft the dust. and
thensrub the surface with stale. bread.
This may be one of the best ways, but
1t is not the FIRST best, as they say AT the
country fairs. can clean wall paper
just as nice, with less that half the time
and labor. by taking a quantity Of wheat
bran. say two quarts at time, and en-
closing II in piece Of thin, open fan
mel ciuth---sa that the bran will work
through-and rubbing The paper with
this, shifting and shaking up The bundlc
once in while to keep the surface
fresh.
Another advantage of this rubber is,
that il can be fastened ON to a broom
or other handle, and then YOU can reach
the npof the wall without getting upon
a chair or bench. Ii you have not ilan-
mel suitable, piece Of strainer cloth
or such like will answer. With this
apparatus, wall paper that is ba,ll y
smoked can be restored I'M a shorttime,
50 as to look almost as good as new.
Grease spots can be considerably inn
proved by first rubbing them well with
chalk. and then laying over them seve-
raj thicknesscs of brown paper, and
pressing on hot flat-iron.
