LITTLE SINS.


A merchant of San Francisco, during

and prosperous. He built fine ware

upon piles, as it was convenient to have
q portion of his establishment extend
over the water Of the barbor.
One night, messenger came to him
with the intelligence that the whole con
cern had fallen to the ground, and that
bales and boxes of merchandise were
thrown into tho water.
What was the cause? A worm, a
mere mite when young, but nearly as
large as ones fnger when grown, and
growing most rapidly, and multiplying
in almost incredible numbers, had entered

II. NJ. Mcclure. veterinary surgeon OF Phila-

the blood) and the glanders will follow the
horse disease, being the sequel to all thoradic af-
fections.
These are dangerous he says, and may be
communicated to man. AS preventive, he
continues, in all cases where the system Of the
horse is weak and debilitated, and the nasal dis
charge continues beyond few weeks, arsenic,
iron the mineral acids and toDics, will have to
be given to improve the blood and prevent ab-
sorptlon; also, to enable the system to throw off
the products of diseased parts. Allow gener-
GUS diet, and dispense with the bearing rein till
complete recovery is insured.
