WHAT IS DARLING ?-Some one asks
"What is darling ?" and very prettily
answers the question. No one but a
father or mother could have written it /:
GA darling is dear little bcaming
girl, who meets one on the doorsteps ;
who fings her arms around ones neck,
anu kisses one with her soul Of love ;
who seizes ones hat, who relieves one
Of ones coat, and hands the tea and
toast SO prettily; who places her selfish
form at the piano, and MARBLES forth,
unsolicited, such delicious songs who
casts herself at one footstool, and clasps
her hands, and asks all sorts of queer
questions, with such bright eyes and
flushing face; and on whose light CLOS
sy curis one places ones hand, and
breathes God bless her. as the fairy

Cure For Small Pox.

The following recipe, said, by
eminent Surgeons of England to
be a sure prevention and cure,
will be of general interest and
benefit to our readers;
On the first appearance of fever
or irritation ushering in attacks,
whether occurring in families or
large communities, the suhjoined
mode of treatment should at once
be entered on:-Take one grain
each of powdered foxglove or
digitalis (valuable in the ratio of
its greenness-the dark should
be rejected) and one Of sulphate
of zinc this article is commonly
known as white vitroil These
should be rubbed thoroughly in a
mortar or other convenient vessel,
with four or FIVE drops Of water;
this done a noggin or about four
ounces more, with some syrup or
sugar, should be given an adult,
and two teaspoonfuls to a child
every second heur. until all symp-
toms of disease vanish. Thus
conducted, convalescence as by
magic, will result. -.
The rapidity of an event so
auspicious will equally delight
and astonish. It may, however,
be necessary further to note, that
should the bowels become OBJ
structed in progress Of the dis
ease-an evil by no means COM
mon-then a drachm Of the COM
pound powder ofgjalap, formed
of two parts Of cream sof tartar
with one Of jalap] and one grain
of the herb, treated as above,
formed into a pastil with syrup of
sugar, should be given to anadult,
and half the quantity to a child.
This simple medicine shuts out
every other form or article what
ever as totally unnecessary if
not pernicious. 80: ~
The naethodus medendI of these
medicines, capable of effecting re-
suits 50 gigantic, remain now only
to be given, and appear to be as
follows: The herb, by its anti
febrile properties lays hold at
once of the fever, the prolific
source of woe, which it immedi.
ately strangles, while the zinc acts
the part Of tonic, instantly restor-
ing the equilibrium.
The following recipe will pre-
vent pitting by the smallpox:
Get from the apothecary a lit
tile vial of stuff called liquid cuti-
Gle, and as soon as the pustules
are fully formed, apply a little Of
the, liquid with a little brush OF
feather to each one. AS fast as
they get ripe remove the scab and
wipe away the matter clean, and
apply the liquid again. If any
one of them fill a second time,
you must remove the covering
and repeat the process. 1t. will
smart like fun for a moment but
my word for it when you recover
you shall not find a mark upon
that pretty face of yours to prove
that you ever had the disease. |
am told the article is made Of gun
cotton, dissolved in chloroform
It forms an artificial skin over
wound just as good as the, real
one.
