RELIEF OF NEURALulA.--As neural
eia and the toothache arc both nervous
diseases we thought. the remedy for the
one would be likely to give relief to the
other; SO we made the application OF
horse radish, bruised, and applied to the
side Of the.body where the disease was
seated. It gave almost instant relief TO
the severe attack Of neuralgia. Since
then, we have applied it several times,
and with the same gratifying result. The
remedy is simple, cheap, and may be
within the reach Of every onc.-Detroit

tor Shields, dilivered before the Ca
tholic Institute of Baltimore on Mon.
day last:
The subject Of the lecture va. Mex
:co. We can give but brief refer
ence to the leading ideas Of his ad-
dress. He commenced by describingI
the physical characteristics Of Mexico,
the beauty Of the country, the variety
of the climate, from the heats of the
torrid zone to the regions of perpitual|
snow. Any plant which could grow
in any other country could grow in
Mexico; any animal which could live
in any other country could live in
Mexico. ~ ,a ge6a ,Ta slea5
The speaker alluded to the conquest
Of the country by Spain-the Romans
OF those times. He believed that the
reports Of history concerning the vast
empire and advanced civilization of
the country when conquered were
greatly exaggerated. He had seen
much Of Mexico. From Palo Alto
under General Taylor, then under
General Wool, ard finally under Cen
eral Scott from Vera Cruz to the city
of MEXICO. He knew also what lndii-
ans were. He had lived among or
