A NEW USE FOR FRESH EGGs.-The
ScieRtifc Press quotes the testimony OF
a gentleman in San Francisco with re-
garu to the value of fresh eggs i'm afford
ing nourishment to weak animals. He
remarked that he had known young
colt, which, to all appearances, was
nearly dead, the breath of life being
barely perceptible, TO be quite instantly
revived by giving it one or two fresh
eggs; The same results, several cases
ot which he was knowing, have followed
the administering of eggs to weak
calves, and also to feeble and chilled
lambs. A remedy so easy at hand, and
SO enectnal in the cases mentioned
which often occur with lambs-should
be remedied.
