The Maidstone.

The Baltimore Sun of Wednesday says
that having called the attention of Prot
N. R. Smith to the account published in
the Alexandria Gazette of a visit to the
maidstone in Fauquier county, that emil
nent physician returned the following
comment: when / furnished for your
paper the article on hydrophobia, | was
perfectly well aware of the existence of
the mad-dog stone and Of the faith which
many repose in it. | thought it too
ridiculous, however, to merit attention
after having explained the mode in
which such nostrums acquire reputation
This stone is probably Of 8 slaty or
chalky nature, and poyoss-s When dry
it will adhere to moistpsrt as such a
substance will to the tongGs, and fall oil
when saturated with moisture. That It
has any affinity for the poison OF rabid
animals is too ridiculous to merit serious
discussion. The evil resulting from
confidence in remedies so absurd is that
it precludes the use Of efficient means"

But what j chiefly insist ON is, that,
LAYING aside irregular appetites and

The hopes and fears that attend agri-

producing nausea, headache and pros

are not needed, and not unfrequently
they increase the irritation of the brain

they are administered. Plantation Bit
tiers, given in moderate doses and at
proper intervals, would have the desired
effect. Persons who find it difficult to
compose their minds to sleep after lying
down at night, or whose slumbers are
disturbed by bad dreams, or are TOO
brief to afford due nourishment, are adj
vised to try the Plantation Bitters as
an anodyne; for this comprehensive
medicine is not only tonic and altera-
