Hydrate of Choral and Rattlesnake
Poison.

Hydrate of chloral seems to develop
fresh virtues every day. A case of rat
tlesnake poison has lately been cured
by it at Point Pleasant, N. j. A young
man bitten by the rattlesnake, and ex-
hibiting the usual violent and alarming
symptoms, was treated with the hydrate,
five doses of twenty grains each being
administered, when sleep followed, and
the patient awoke after several hours
with every symptom of the poison gone.
At the same time we would warn non
professional persons against tampering

strength of which does not seem to have

How to Select Glue.

When selecting glue choose that
which has a clear, transparent look, free
from clouds or spots, and Of reddish
yellow cast, without bad taste or smell.
The quality of glue may be very well
determined before using, by putting a
piece in cold water, for that which is
good will swell, but not dissolve. Good
glue will only become soluble in water
when heated to a boiling point.

Surgery Extraordinary.

Here is something for all surgeons 10
read and admire. 1t comes to US, like
gold and great pears, from California.
In 1869, Luther Corey, in Santa Cruz
county, cad his arm broken in two
places above the elbow. One of the
fractures knitted and healed the other,
owing to a splint of the bone being be-
tween the ends of the fracture, did not.
After suffering great pain, Mr.. Corey
went up to San Francisco, and the sur.
geons there opened the flesh on his
arm, and cut the callous part from off
the ends of the bones, pressing the ends
together and binding the arm in splints.
So they remained for eighteen months,
but still the bones did not knit, and the
muscles Of the arm became shriveled up
and useless. Then MI. Corey applied to
DR.. Lane, Of San Francisco, who forth
with performed the prettiest little job
of surgical workmanship conceivable.
He opened the arm, sprung out the ends
OF the bones, and cutting Oft the callous
parts, he beveled the ends of the bones,
80 that each would lap a little over the
other. He then riveted them together
with q silver wire, and set the arm in a
case. The bone then knit and healed,
leaving the arm two inches shorter. Mr..
Corey now uses his arm at his work, and,
with the limb Useful again, is once more
a tip-top sawyer.
