Remedy for Rheumatism.

DR.. Bonnet, of Graiubet, in France, states in
letter to the Abelle Medicale, that he has
long been in the habit Of prescribing the essen
tial oil of turpentine for fictions against rheu-
natism; that he has used it himself with per.
feet success. having almost instantaneously 60.
rid OF rheumatic pains in both knees and in the
left shoulder. He adds that several times hay
ing soiled his hands with coal tar and other
sticky substances of the same nature, and used
the essence of turpentine freely like water, to
wash his hands in. and washed them again in
soap and water, he after drying them well, al
ways experienced pricking sensation similar
to that which is felt on receiving electrical
sparks on ones knuckles. This sensation
would last about two hours; and it is to this ex-
citing action Of oil of turpentine that he attrib-
utes its efficacy in rheumatism.

Gunshot wounds.

Gunshot wounds are not paipfcl Immediately,
but become 80 By Inflammation. Their treat
ment il first 70 avoid collapse, and this is to
be done By encouraging language, and, if neces.
sary, . little stimulant, administered with care,
as it may increase the Inflammation. The next
things is to stop the bleeding by the application
of pressure; the next thing is to find out if any
bone is broken, and ifso, to steady it and place
it in natural position. After this cold va,
ter dressing may be applied though many sur,
geons are in favor of warm water fermentation,
but We think their practice untenable, for cold
water removes inflammation by evaporation,
and warm water may impart heat instead of re.
moving it. In the case of slight injury, cold
water dressings and rest of the muscles will
complete the cure. For desperate wounds the
subsequent treatment requires the skill of q
Larrey or Abenethy.

To Promote Fertility in Frait Trees.

To Promote Fertility in Fruit Trees. 4
Every oschardist mnss hsve observed that
sovs fruit trees ofsuperior quality. and Of lux
uriaat growth. are yet slow in coming into q
bearing state, and are afterward ineonstant
This Il the case especially with the pear tsee.
Let y note down some of the methods proposed
Soe rsmedying this evil. ~ ,a7s7
An abundant and rapid Aow Of sap tends to
The growth Of new wood and leaves rather than
to the formation of fruit buds. Whatever
checks this flow will excite the production Of
Sewer buds. For example select . vigorous
evergreen, which has thus far shown no cones.
ard triumphant IL, and next year it will be cov-
cred with seed vessels. So it is often with
fruit trees. The check thereby given TO the
gPoWth Of roots and branches, causes the Or
gaufzable sap TO accumulate in the branches
and directs it to the formation Of fruit
Hence it is that formal root pruning Is some
sometimes practiced. As this process il de-
scsibed in nearly all the fruit manuals, We will
emily remind the reader that it should be prac
ticed only in the GALL or winter. Mr.. Rivers, Of
England, as nearly everybody knows. no sooner
catches any Of his dwarf pears mapping than he
lifts them from the ground and sets them back
again. Fruit bearing is quite sure to follow.
Ringing the branches is another method
This consists in taking out a circular section of
bark about an inch vide, on several branches
of the tree. The effect of this is to prevent the
Aow of the elaborated sap from the tops Of the
branches to the limbs and roots below, and al.
ways produce formation of fruit buds. This
practice is not to be generally commended; it
robs the lower portions Of the tree of the proper
food, and renders the girdled branches useless
afterward.
Bending the branches downward is another
and better method. This impedes the ascent
and descent of sap, and causes its accumulation
oil along the branches in the form of fruit buds
who has not observed that crooked apple tree
often bears better than perfectly straight one;
and one with fat, spreading head, better than
pyramidal one7 Hence we see the wisdom of
practice common among nurserymen, of re.
moving the central branches of the young apple
trees. This bending down of the branches
should be done in June or July, while the shoots
are almost flexible. -
Training the branches to the wall or trellis is
another method. The slight compression of
the igatures. and the bending of the branches,
causes check in the flow of the sap, and SO
induces fruitfulness. -American Agrieukuria
