a little, and in reply to letter Of inquiry
he received the following:

pesiments seem but to aegravate the disease,
and the longer a man has it the more
malignant form it assumes. The fact is
now established that "oil on the brain" is
incurable. 1t has carried off" more men
from here than all other calamities
included. BY dieting and the use of other
preventive measures, have kept it under
control so far, but in two weeks I, too, am
going the way Of all Cattaraugus.

if I am not egregiously humbugged it's a
big thing-equal to California in her pal

the stories you hear, l presume that Sd

nearer the truth. Isuppose it to be hard

are piles of money made and spent here

TIE SMALL Pox.-The German Reform
ed Messenger has received letter from q
friend in China, in which it is stated a
great discovery is reported to have been
recently made by surgeon of the English
army in China, in the way of an efectual
cure of smallpox. The mode of treatment
is as follows When the preceding fever is
at its height, and just before the eruption
appears, the chest is rubbed with croton
oil and tsrtaric ointmeat This causes the
whole Of the eruption TO appear on that
part of the body, to the relief of the rest.
1t also secures full! and complete eruption,
and thus prevents the disease from attack
ing internal organs. This is said to be
now the established mode Of treatment in
the English army in China, by general or
ders, and It is regarded as perfect cure.
