4 CErrA1N CuRE.-One of our citi-
zens who has been troubled with Sc
we're cold on the lungs effected his recoy-
cry in the following simple manner. lie
boiled little boneset and ho ehourd
together, and drank freely Of the tea
before going to bed. The next day lie
took five pills, put one kind of plaster
on his breast, and another under his
arms and still another on his back. Tn
der advice from an experienced old lady
he took al these OFF with an oyster
knife in the afternoon, and slapped on a
mustard paste instead. His motherput
some onion drafts on his feet and gave
him lump of tar to swallow. Then he
put some hot bricks to his feet, and
went 20 bed. Next morning another
old lady came in with bottle Of goose
oil. and gave him dose of it on quill,
and an aunt arrived about the same
time from Bethel, with 4 bundle OF
sweet fern which she made into n tea,
and gave him every halt hour until
noon, when he took bic dose OF salts.
After dinner his wife who had seen a
fine old lady Of great experience IN doc
,oring, on Franklin street, gave mm
two pills Of her make, about the size OF
an English walnut and Of similar
shape, and two tcaSpOontuls OF home
made balsam to keep them down. Then
he took a half pint OF hot rum at the
suggestion of an old sea captain IN the
house. and steamed his legs with an al
cohol bath. At this crisis two of the
neighbors arrived who saw ut once that
his blood was out of order, and gave
him a half gallon of speremint tea, and
bic dose of castor oil. Before gong
to bed he took eight Of a new kind OF
pill, wrapped about his neck flannel
soaked in hot vinegar and salt, and bad
feather, burnt on q shovel III his room.
He is now thoroughly cured and full OF
gratitude. We advise our readers t0
cut this out an keep it where ii can he
readily found when danger is threatened.
