A singular instance of superstition
came to light not long since, which is
thus related: Going into a neighoor's
house, one day last week, found one
of the children suffering from severe
cough, and expressed my opinion that
it was a case in which medical assis-
lance should be obtained. The moth
er of the boy agreed that it was very
bad, but before calling in doctor
she intended to try cure that she had
long used in similar cases, and never
found to fail. On being pressed to
communicate the prescription, she
gravely informed me that the charm
consisted in Hale's Honey of Hore-
hound and Tar, and that it could be
obtained of all the druggists, Price
