CURE FOR TooTHACHE.-Dr Dvc
Duckworth, an English physician, con
tributes a short memorandum on this sui
ject. He was called on lately to treat
case of very severe toOthache, and trie
various ordinary remedies, includin
chlOroiorm and carbonic acid, withou
any benefit to the patient, He then II
membered having read that the pai
might be relieved by holding in the mout
a solution of bicarbonate of soda. Ii
gave the patient half dram in an ounc
Of water, and, TO his astonishment, tn
pain ceased Immediately, and cOmplet
relief was secured. He thinks that, a
the remedy is so simple and the diseas
50 distressing, and often intractable, thi
treatment may be worthy of notice an
imitation.
THE Indiana Farmer of March 25 saws
"The old question about wheat turnin
to chess is being discussed again in SON
quarters. There are just two well-asce
tanned facts which ought to forever settl
that other fact, viz. that wheat don't tur
to chess. I. Chess is totally distint
plant from wheat .. Chess seed n
tains power of termination for a gre,
many years in the soil, just as the seed {
some weeds are known to do. The cor
clusion therefore is that when wheat
winter killed the conditions for the ge
mination of the chess seed, deposited pc
haps years before, are Just then me
After meadow lands which had been frc
for years are broken, the sun and tempe
ature cause the termination of wee
seeds which had lain in the soil, retainin
power OF growth, perhaps for years, an
now the land appears full of weeds. The.
facts ought to put an end to the belief tn
wheat turns to chess"
