CURE FOR BONE FELoN.-A friend informs
us that while suffering with bone felon, 20 years
ago, DR.. F. Lebarron, late the Apohecary General
of the United States, advised him to fill thimble
with soft soap and quicksilver mixed, and bind it
tightly over the feIon. This he did, and in the
course of ID hours it was drawn to head, when
the core was removed, and by appliances Of the
usual poutce the sore soon healed. Our infor-
mant remarks that this is severe expedent, but
one that is preferred 10 the customary treatment.
We have heard others who have used the remedy
prescribed say that it IS the most efectual and
Peditious. As good many persons are now af-
f1icted with bone ieIons, We have been requested
to make this publication. May it prove real
