Will cure poison of any kind, both on man

without bottle of It in his house. The

does for a man. Here let me say Of ont1bf
the most extreme cases OF snake bites IN
this neighbOrhood Eleven years ago this
summer, whore the case had been thirty
days standing, and the patient had been
given up by his physicians, heard of IL,
carried the oil and gave him one spoonful
which effected cure. It is an antidote for
arsenic and strychnine. 1t will cure bloat
in cattle by eating too freely of fresh clover;
1t Will cure the sting of bees, spiders, or
other Insects; and will cure persons who
have been poisoned by low running vine,

Discovery Ol ConceaIed Money,

A singular discovery was recently made
by girl employed In the Wisconsin Paper
Min at Milwaukee, illustrating forcibly
the old adage that what is one persons
loss Is another persons gain" Last Friday
while one of the girls was sorting lot or
rags which had been recently shipped to
Milwaukee from this city, she came across
an old army knapsack. which, in tearing to
pieces, revealed a package Of $1,000 in
greenbacks which had boen sewed between
the lining aud the outside. II has been Gus
tomary NJ the mill when money is found
concealed to take it to the office of the
works and Surr, hder it to the proprietors.
the finder receiving liberal reward. But
the fortunate flnderOf the above
package, instead of complying with this
custom, retained $1,000 Of the money, and
gave TO her employers only 5000 of the
money. An old knapsack Is rather n sin
gular place to secrete such large amount
OF money, but 1t probably has q history ex-
planatory of the reason which will never
be revealed.
The owner probably fell In battle, and
his knapsack laying on the field was con
demned as worthless, and the money in
tended to alleviate the sorrows of the flu
ture, In the above remarkable manner fell
into the hands of strangers. Chicago rags
are decidedly protitable.- Chicago Times.
