ming upward towards the eyes, pass
over the outside of the .jawbone about
ltwo-thirds of the way back from the
chin to the angle of the jaw, under the
ear. Each of these arteries of course
supplies just one half of the face, the
nose being the dividing line; the left
nostril is supplied with blood by the
left artery. Now suppose your nose
bleeds from your right nostril, with
the end of your fore finger feel along
the onter edge of the right jaw until
you feel the beating of the artery d.
rectly un der your fnger, the same as
the pulse in the wrist, then press your
finger hard upon it, thus getting the
little fellow in tight place between
the finger and jawbone; the result will
be that not drop of blood goes into
the side of your face while the pres
sure continues hence the nose instant
Ily stops bleeding for want of blood
to flow; continue the pressure for five
or ten minutes and the ruptured yes
sells in the nose will by that time prob
ably contract so that when you let
the blood into them they will not leak.
Bleeding from a cut or wound any
where about the face may be stopped
the same way.
| A REMEDY FOR WARTs.-Messrs
Editors A correspondent inquiries
for remedy for warts. There are
numerous ways of getting rid of them.
They may be gently pulled out and
cut off with the scissors. A string
tied round them will cause them to
rot off in a few days. If lunar caus-
tic be rubbed on the surface after the
tough end is pared well. a cure is
generally effected. 1t should be re-
peated several times, if necessary
One drachm of Muriatic acid added
to three drachms of Muriated tincture
of iron, the acid nitrate of Mercury,
one drachm of arsenic added to one
half ounce of strong nitric acid, all of
them will accomplish the object. -
Compound alum water, juice of Sum
ach, garlic, milk weed, strong sugar
of lead water, &c, have some reputa-
ton as remedies. The strong acids
will however, do best, where the scis-
sors or string will not answer. If
tile acids are used, the parts close by
the wart should be smeared with oil
or lard, to prevent the acid from
spreading and making sore. If it
is seen to be working too deeply, So
da and pearlash water sopped on, will
stop further action. B.
MAPLE SUGAR.-Hon. w. G. Smith
has recently taken pains to procure
from the Agricultural Department at
Washington a thorough analysis Of
, the residuary matter that gave SO
much trouble to maple sugar makers
the last season.
The following extracts from the re,
port of Thomas Antisell, NJ. D., Chief
Chemis: to the Department of Agri
culture, tell the result =
The materials examined by me
were forwarded by Orville ). Bliss
: Of Georgia, VI, with letter descrip
tive, consisting Of one closed tin yes
sci containing the sap, and collection
of samples of residue after evapOra
ton and Qualification of the sap.
The great bulk of each specimen i;
tartrate of lime, a crystalline sal
which had its origin in the sap, OF

sap, but 1t must certainly be Away

# If more pains were taken to clar
