Dorm tettH he taks-Recent experiments
show that squills IS a powerful poison for
rats,sbut also one that they are.yery fond Of /
The way of preparing it for the desired
purpose is as follows: One OF the balls is
cut into slices, hashed and bruised, then
done n the pan with fat which Is after
wards strained through a cloth and poured
into broken plates and saucers, to be placed
IN cellars and other places infested with rats,
mice, etc. TO prevent dogs and poultry
from eating this poisonous compound in
stables or farm yards; it may be put into a
wooden box about one and a half feet long
and having a hole at each end. The rat gets
IN at one end and goes out at the other, af
ter partaking of the noxious food which
soon kills it. Squills may also be reduced
to powder for the same purpose by bruising
them in mortar to a pulp, which is after
wards incorporated with as much flour as it
viii hold. This paste is then rolled out
then cut into shreds, which are dried and
then pounded in a mortar.-Drug Circular.

The TransmissibiJity Of GIanderS 6et10een
Man and the Horse,--M Guyon has recently
presented to the French Academy of
Sciences a paper on this subject Some
years ago a captain of artillery, at Algeirs,
died of what was aocertained to be a we'll
characterized case of CHAMBERS. The blood
and fluid of the dead body were inoculated
on four animals, on three of which the dis
order was reproduced. 1t is stated that
long afterward military physician who had
helped to dissect the captains body, gradu-
ally declined in health. His fatal illness
was long and accompanied with peculiar
symptoms 1t was not until the nature of
the disorder had become quite potent that
the unfortunate physician recollected his
having priclled himself, very slightly, while
dissecting the captains body.-Lancet
AS the almost universal opinion is that
this disorder is not transmissible to man, we
would urge upon our country friends the
