Sm"ae Jor 'lnnmiS. \ correspondent
oi the County Gentleman" mentions the
CASE M horse, which WAS Just ready tc
lilo o( an ul,l and fc>lcrcd wouul. Eurln
naloly, he adls, at this .tage Of the ease, n,
ohl Pennsylvania teamstcr came to our re.
lief, and recommended smoking with old
shoes. \ smoke was ma,lo Of old sh,o,
'oles and all cut in pieces, in hog tror-h
aud placed under tho swollen parts. In =
low hours tt'o swelling wholly subsi,lc,l, and
the 'or' commenced discharginS matter
tie horse was saved.
S"mc years after this, lcartl two per
sons talking about horse which had been
s;"red IN tho abdomen. In this c:.>c, every
'h'nS had been tried in vain the poor crca
'ur' must die. At my suggestion he was
smoked, and when next heard from linn
the old horse WAS well. So much for ,l,l
wounds.
In the same year I cut my foot with an
axe. The lrly Of the house, Selling the
loot whIlo 1t was yet bleeding freely, held it
over pan containing; smoking ta., locks.
!" u low minutes the bleeding stopped, and
tho smoke WAS removed, and Il l,,nIoro
applied to protect it from accidental blows
inc w""nd mFr m"t","it', and, conse
l"cnlly never panied mo. have seen this
remedy tried in many similar cases. and
always with tho same results. Let tho
reader bear in mind that no linimcnt or
salve, drawing or healing, should bo an
Piled; you have merely 60 smoke the wound
WE'LL and nature will do the rest.
SUPPOSE the smoke Of burning wood
would produce the same results, but it
would not DC SO manageable. There is Il
principle in tho smoke Of wood which
when applied to the flesh, coayula,cs the
'Ibumen, thus rendering it unsusccptiblc Of
p"trelact'on. The same principle stops
bleeding, hy coayulatius the blood. It
promotes healing, and may be applied with
decided benefit to almost all ulcers, wounds
and cutanco,s diseases. Sec Turner'S Chem.
'stry, by LieLig anI Gregory, p. 1912.
For charpcd hands and lips, moiassce is
tho best remedy over used. If my COWS

1hc CoM~ Muksr.-1lc business Of m
undertaken has always possessed Il mcIan
choIy interest for us-lhat is, merely as

The course Of his professional duties, is
often compelled 10 be present at the scenes
of death-bcd agony, when the fatal arrow
is ranking in tho hcart-wlcn li(o cLl.s
away like gentle stream, or is torn from
The breast with sudden and rc,nurs.lc,s

The fearful anguish Of the brrcavcl becomes
