There lives in New Albany an old wo-
nan who has made discovery which she
claims TO lie a panacea FOR every Ill that
flesh is heir to-" This discovery has been
put to practical use, and ;he claims it is a
medicine of rare curative qualities. Her
husband, who is ii scavenger, collects the
carcasses of. all the defunct dogs to be
found on the commons, which he turns
over to her. From these dead animals she
distills an oil, which, with the addition of
vegetable ingredients to remove the often
sive smell, and to add to its efficacy, she
bottles up for use. A few days ago, she
recommended that patient rub it on his
back for lumbago; to another she ordered
it taken inwardly for consumption, and to
Il third she recommended it for dyspepsia
When one of her patients learned the
properties of the medicine, he refused to
take it, whereupon she informed him that
she thought deg meat excellent, and al.
ways ate it when she felt i'll and wanted a
dish. If it was good to eat, it certainly
was a good medicine, thought she, hui
whether the patient agreed with her OIL
not, our informant does not say. Those Of
our readers who desire to make money or
small capital had better call on the pro
prietress of this new medicine as we I'M
derstand that recipe can be purchased
