CURE FOR FELONs.-Within the
past week, we have met with several
friends who are tormented with those
troublesome things, known as felons.
The following recipe, is said to be sure
cure: GAS soon as the parts begin to
swell, get the tincture of lobelia and
wrap the part affected with cloth sat-
urated Thoroughly with the tincture, and
the felon is dead" An old physician
says he has known it to be tried in a
score of cases, and it never fails if ap-
piled in season.

A SEAsoNABLE RECIPE.-As the
blackberry season is at hand, we give
place to the following from the Ger
mantO.0n Telegraph for the information
of our readers:
There is no wine equal to the black
berry when properly made, either in
flavor or for medicinal purposes, and
all persons who can conveniently do
so, should manufacture enough for their
own use every year, as it is invaluable
in sickness as tonic, and nothing is
better remedy for bowel diseases. We,
therefore, give the receipt for making
it, and having tried it ourselves, we
speak advisedly on the subject: "Meas-
ure your berries and bruise them to
every gallon adding one quart of boil
ing water. Let the mixtures stand
twenty-four hours, stirring occasional
ly then strain off the liquor into a
cask, toevery gallon adding two pounds
of sugar cork tight, and let it stand
till the following October, and you will
have wine ready for use, without furth-
er straining or boiling. This makes a
most excellent and palatable wine."
