anating from a deranged stomach, use the
following, viz: solution common salt, six
drops; water, two ounces. For catarrh
solution of salt and water may be snuffed up
the nostrils from the palm of the hand morn

1t is a well known fact that common salt
in large doses will produce vomiting, and in
small doses, arrest it. 1t makes a good gar
gle in dipthera, and in putrid sore.throat. In
consumption its value has never been fully
estimated The degenerated condition Of the
blood in this disease demands salt as natures
remedy. In consumptive children, the de-
sire for salt seems to be almost remarkable;
and these children. where there is no desire
for salt rarely recover. Mothers, let such
little ones have plenty of salt, it is good for
them, Adult patients, considered incurable
by medical men, have been restored to health
by using salt with their food in large auanti-
ties. | trust these few remarks on salt will
turn the attention of your readers to our sim
pie domestic remedies. They are laid On the
shelf by the majority of people, as too com
mon and too simple for any good; yet some
of these same remedies are prescribed by your
physician under the cover of Il Latin name
There is something in n name, the drug clerk
says, when he puts up the prescription of
common salt and water.

COMMON SALT-ITS PRINCIPAL
USES

by ELI G. JONES, NJ. d.
Common salt is found in the solids and
fluids of the system like water, with the ex.
ception of the enamel of the teeth, where i,
mas not yet been found. 1t is an important
constituent of the blood The bright red col.
or, the stimulating and vitalizing power of the
o'ooa Is dependent on the quantity of salt
IN It's composition
IN certain conditions of the system where
we have stagnant and blackened condition
OF the blood as in yellow fever. marsh fever
snake poisoning and certain malignant dis.
eases, salt is the true remedy to restore this
healthy saline principle. The treatment Of
rattle snake bites by the Indians, illustrates
this important principle. The blood when il
receives the poison, becomes black and loses
its rtality. The Indian enlarges the wound
to the bottom, then applies the salt The
salt is taken into the circulation and restores
the redness and vitality of the blood; after
which the wound soon heals. Malignant few.
ers, and other malignant disorders operate in
the same way. In hemorrhage from the
lungs our best remedy is common salt. Put
a teaspoonfull in cup of cold water. Give
the patient teaspoonful once in five or ten
minutes.
In worms of children we find a weakened
condition Of the digestive organs. Salt is a
most valuable remedy for pin worms, SO dis
tressng and annoying to little children. We
generally use it as an injection: two tea
spoonfulls may be Dissolved in half pint of
luke warm water. A pound of salt in four
gallons of water makes a saline solution of
about the strength of sea water. This makes
an excellent bath for rickety and scrofulous
children, and for all patients with constitu-
tional debility. For offensive breath en-

From the Knoxville Chronicle June IA.
We have received the following fro u
jamestown, which we lay before our read
ers:
JAMESTOWN, TENN, June s, 1S73.I
enclose you circulars and plat (sent me by
friend in Cincinnati) purporting to be
plan of ydersVille, situated in Scett county,
Tennessee. He wanted TO know whether
1t was bona fde company, owning lands,
e.c. l do not know, but this 20 know
that $40 to cover the expense of acknowl-
edgement, registration, ETC.. will leave about
SIS 70 go into somebody's pocket, which for
one eighth of an acre in Scott county is
gOod-only $64 per acre. You will see
from the plan and circula- all the evidences
of fraud necessary to convince you that it is
swindle. The gentleman writing me
from Cincinnati served in the army as tele-
graph operator at Huntsville, and knows
something of the county. He is we'll &C.
quainted in Cincinnati, and writes me
there is no such man as A. E. Norre. If
there is any such an institution as the
Tennessee Land Company" don't know
it. You, doubtless, can learn. If it is q
sWindle, give them a turning over. We
want people to come here, and the best way
! know to get them is to expose all land
swindles. Yours, truly, J. d. LEWIS.
Accompanying this is a well executed
map, entitled ''Railroad map of Scott
county, Tennessee, }" showing that the coun-
ty is or will be well supplied with railroad
facilties. Another map shows "she Tennes-
sac Land Company's plan of 'RYdersyille,,,
from which they will select 500 lots for free
distribution" One block is shown as in
tened for ga town hail." while another is
reserved for iron works." For informa-
ton about these matters, application is to
be made to Morton Hunter, No. f19, Pitts
burgh, Penn, or to P. o. box, 1,26S.
Our correspondent is well acquainted in
Scott county and seems to know nothing
of this city Of ,"Rydersville," and we pre-
sumo few others know anything of it. The
company proposes to giUe away lots to per-
sons who will apply tor
them, in consideration of ap-
plicants recommending the company's
lands to "their neighbors and friends" and
that they send ten dollars to pay for draw
ing deeds, paying commissioners fees, etc.
Oar correspondent gets at the pith of the
matter when he states that out of the ten
dollars, ,eisht will 60 into somebody's pocket,
which, as he says, is fair price for one
eight Of an acre of land in that locality.
The whole thing looks very much like an
unmitigated swindIe, and such swindle SIS
has been too often perpetrated within few
years past in connection with E st Ten
nessee mountain lands, for the good Of our
section. So many sc0undrels have taken
this as mesrs of swindling persons who
were willing to invest in this important
class of our property, that every man who
offers it for sale is looked upon with sus-
picion unless be is well known. A few ex-
posure is what is needed.

was suspected of having had something to
do with bis sudden death, but no steps were
taken to investigate the matter, and Mrs.
YORK went to live with a son in Kansas,
where few days since she was taken i'll,
ard the physician summoned to her aid
told her she was poisoned, and had but
few hours to live. Facing inevitable death,
she made confession which exposed to the
world iend incarnate. She confessed to
having poisoned Eer husband in 1868, Mrs.
A. w. Drake, her own daughter, two chill
dren of A. w. Drake, the wife of Z. r.
Drake, formerly of this city, and last Sep
tember A. W. Drake. She then went TO
her sons, and short time ago made

medicine to the CUPBOARD, and by mistake
