Treatment Of Orumkenness.-I is said, in
the COHnaissances Meafcazes, that a half tea
spoonful Of the oficinal liquor ammoniae,

referred to by Wood and Bache.-Drug

it'll cold, and in this way the colors are
rendered permanent, and will not fade by
subsequent washing Drug Circular

TO Detect Counterfeit Paper Money
On all paper money there is what is called
medallion work, which is a series of conoen-
trio lines engraved with geometrical pre-
eisiOn; by very expensive machine, called
a rose engine, and which is rarely or never
in the possession of counterfeiter These
lines generally surround the figures denoting
the denomination, and on the notes of the
United States, engraved by the National
Bank Note Company, are so beautifully fine
and true, as to make an imitation Of them
by human hands a matter of impossibility.
On the national currency notes, engraved by
the Continental Bank Note Company, this
work is very inferior, and would not do
credit to a Dutchman; but the lettering is
very beautiful executed, and the letter shad-
ing, which is also done IN an expensive ma
chine, is beyond the reach of a counterfeiter.
So you may always distinguish a counter
felt by one of these two tests, the medallion
work, and the letter shading, which is Sc.
ries Of fine parallel lines. In the counter
felt, these lines are uneven, and irregular
and blurred, two lines often being run into
one In the genuine every line is perfectly
even, and clear and distinct from every
other line. There is good deal of genuine
fractional currency Of the first issue which
is now refused, but which l viii be very
happy to take in exchange for anything in
