Oil OF Mustard N RHEUMATISM
Where one third Of the male population
complain to some extent.of Rheumatic
pains in the tickle climate Of New Eng
land, but more especially along the sea-
shore, physicians have it in their power
to mitigate an immense amount Of severe
suffering by prescribing the volatile oil Of
mustard. It is employed as a rubefacient,
being first diluted in its own weight of
alcohol at forty degrees heat. Some pa
tients may object to its pungent odor; but
that is temporary, the remedy may in
some cases prove apermanent cure. Make
the application at least twice a day, and
protect the part with soft flannel. Mus
tard mills are in operation in the cities
generally, at which the oil may be pro-
cured, it being an article not much in de-
mand in these parts. Were it not for de-
tecting it by a pungent odor, this oil would
have become a secret remedy for rheuma-
tic pains years ago. A nostrum loses
miraculous efficiency and curative proper
ties on becoming known.---Medica World.

IMPORTANT INVENTION FOR CorToN

PHOSPHATED GUANO.

This valuable fertilizer, composed Of equal parts
of Peruvian Guano and fine Bone Dust, is offered
to Planters as an article in every way slperler and
far more lasting than Guauo used by itself. 1t is an
established fact that Gnano lacks PHOSPHATE OF
LIME, and also that one halfof its Eertilizing quall-
ties are dssipated in the air, which Is plainly TO be
perceived by the strong amm0nical smell constant
ly emitted by it until its strength is gone. Bone
dust is nothing more than Phosphate of Lime, and
this. besides being a strong and valuable manure,
fixes the ammonia in The Guano, and retains it un.
