Wiesbaden is a typical German spa or

tions Of such resorts, with some Of n

The Wiosbaden Water.

The hot springs, the foates Naniaci Of
the Romans, described, il is said, by Pliny
in his Natural History, and from which
Wiesbaden derives lis title Of Kwstadt,
are no doubt the inducement Of the visits
Of large number Of the many ffe-
quenters Of the town. These springs have
been spouting out ceascless stream az
the rate Of sixty-one cubic feet Of water
each minute from time immemorial. The
temperature, which is 1852 r., has been
as inyariable as the quantity Of fluid, and
Wiesbadeners, and seemingly with reason,
are as confident Of the perpetuity of this
source Of wealth to their town a. Of tho
continued succession Of the everlasting
days and nights Common salt is the chief
constituent of the mineral water, and no
less than ninety-ssven hundred-weieht Of
this is elected daily from one spring alone
the kochbrunnen. Each one who
drinks the water agrees with every one
else in declaring that il tastes like weak
chicken broth; and so, indeed, it does,
batting the chicken. 1t has very decid,
ed smack Of what it is, and Of nothing
more-hot water well salted. There Is
apparently great deal Of faith in its Gu
ratiye efficacy, principally in cases Of rheu-
matism and gont, although the doctors
and people Of Wiesbaden are 80 jealous
for the reputation of their water that thew
recommend it as an infallible remedy for
all ailment known to nosology. Crowds
OF drinkers throng about the fountain dur
ing the summer, although there are not
wanting some inveterate tipplers at all
other seasons. Hotels have been erouned
thickly about the well, forming a narrow
street which leads into the centre Of the
town. A covered walk, or colonnade. as Il
Is termed, of light iron-work, leads 10 the
fountain, from which perpetual clouds Of
steam arise and fill the whole inclosure
with moist warm atmoshere, like the
tepid mist of an Indian summers day.
Here the drinkers lounge and stroll with
glass in hand, and sip and sip to the music
Of the Meyerbeer and Wagner. There is
no doubt that many get well after taking
course OF the waters, but it is fair 10
presume that as they have been only
drinking salt and water, such cure may
be regarded as what the logicians call pos,
hoe, rather than proptsr hoe. The cura.
tive influence, such as it may be, Of visit
to Wiesbaden and course Of the watel
10 drink and bath, may be set down a.
due probably to the change Of scene, q
well-regulated diet and regimen, and the
hopeful confidence in the remedy which
engenders the faith that makes ones sell
whole. This, Of course, will be regarded
as fiat heresy by the Wicsbadeuers, who's,
interest il is to yaunt to the utmost tn,
efficacy of their fountains, which, though
they only pour hot salt and water dowr
the throats Of others, food their pockets
with gold.-HarPer's Magazine.

Cure for Colds in the Head.

The London Spectator says 1T would
seem that the cure for those worst Of small
nuisances, colds in the head, which DR..
Ferrier suggested in the Lancet, might
prove to be remedy Of very great value
II is a snuf-a white powder--composed
Of the following ingredients :-Hydrochlo-
rate of morphia, two grains; acacia powder
two drachms; trisnitrate Of bismuth, six
drachms--the whole making quantity
Of powder, of which from one.quarter to
one.half may safely be taken, if necessary,
in the course Of twenty-four hours. DIR.
Ferrier says that with this snuff he has
twice cured himself OF very violent colds,
once, indeed, by taking trisnitrate Of bis
muth alone, which is a very powerful
remedy for catarrh Of the mucous mem
brane, and is the most important ingredi-
ent in this snuff. DIR. Ferrier mentions
two others who were cured of violent colds
by the same snuff, aud to these instances
we may add that Of the present writer
who, having very violent cold coming
on, with the sensation of weight in the
temples and the usual disagreeable feeling
in the throat, as well as ordinary catarrh,
made trial Of DR.. Ferrier's remedy one

How Raisins are Prepared.


A strip of land bordering the Mediter-
ranean, somewhat less than one hundred
miles in length, and IN width not exceed
ing five or six, is the raisin- producing ter
ritory Of Spain. Beyond these bounda-
ries the Muscatel grape, from which the
raisin is principally produced, may grow
and thrive abundantly but the fruit must
go to the market or the vino press.
When the grape begins to ripen, in Au-
gust, the farmer carefully inspects the
fruit as il lies on the warm, dry coil. and
one by one clips the clusters, as they reach
perfection. Ia almost all vineyards slants
Of masonry are prepared, looking like un.
glazed hotbeds, and covered with fino
pebbles, on which the fruit is exposed 10
dry. But the small proprietor prefers NOT
to carry his grapes so far. Il IS better he

Simple Remedies for Warts.

l. Take cobwsb; roll it into pill the
size Of the wart. Take match and light
the cobweb pill. 1t will burn clear like
charcoal. When the pill is consumed the
the wart can be picked out with the finger.
2. Take good indigo and soak it in water;
pare away the surface of the wart so as to
cause the blood to flow; wipe off the blood
and drop the indigo water upon it, Very
large ones may require second applica-
tion. The indigo produces no pain. B.
One Of my neighbors had his horses nose
covered with small warts, and tried many
different means to remove them, but could
not do 50, until some one said to him
"Why don't you try treacle 2" This was
tried and the warts, after being dressed a
few times, were completely removed in a
few weeks. a. Take ashes made from
burnt willow bark, mix with sweet cider,
and apply several times, and they will soon
disappear. 8. Use a strong solution Of
alum several times a day, and let it dry
on. If that does not cure, use sal soda in
the same way 6. Lunar caustic, careful
ly applied so as not to touch the skin, will
surely destroy warts. Z. Oil Of cinnamon
dropped on the wart three or four times o
day will cause their disappearance, however
hard, large, or dense they may be. The
application gives rise to neither pain oil
suppuration and is pleasant perfume,

0kefenokee Swami,

This remarkable depression in Southern
Georgia, bordering on Florida, is worthy
Of the attention Of the scientific topograph-
er. It is one Of the sources of supply for
each Of the two rivers (St. Mary's and
Suwanee,) which so nearly bissct the pc
ninsula, and "Trail Ridge ge"-the back bone
Of Florida--eommences to rise in the
swamp, leaving this great natural basin
the lowest summit level between the waters
of the Atlantic ocean and the Gulf Of
Mexico north Of parallel 20.
Lieut.. Hunter in his survey makes the
area Of this basin about 1000 square
miles, Of which the swamp proper covers
about 500 square miles, and the average
elevation above tidewater is 1l6 feet. The
swamp has several islands in il, from one
to six miles in length, and to ! mile in
width. The principal growth on them
being pine, cypress, aud loblolly bay; Of
the last of which Lieut.. Hunter says, there
are many groves with trees of remarkable
size, and very symmetrical, presenting a
magnificent appearance; some Of the trees
measuring from so to so feet to the first
branches. The largest area Of the swamp
is made up of prairies or savannas, with
occasional bodies Of dense underground Of
tietie aud bamboo briers The surface is
always wet, and sometimes entirely cover
ed with water, except the islands.
There are also a number Of lakes OF
large ponds, frequented by a great variety
of water fowl. Fresh water trout are
caught in these lakes, weighing from to
. pounds. Perch, club and Dream are
also plentiful. In fact with the great
number Of deer and bear on the islands,
and all the varieties Of wild duck, crane,
curlew, &c, this must be one Of the spar.

Pneumonia.

There are few diseases in which special
treatment adapted to individual cases is
more important than pneumonia; for the
measures that would be salutary in one
case would be injurious or even fatal in
another. In the belief, therefore, that
such general directions as could be given
in the limited scope of this article would
be likely to do quite as much harm as
good, the few remaining remarks shall re-
fer to the Office Of nurse rather than to
that Of doctor. The patient should lie
with his shoulders eSmewhat elevated.
In protracted and debilitated cases, his
position should be changed occasionally,
in order to prevent the setting Of tie blood
in any part Of the lungs Care should be
taken to expose the chest and body as lit
lie as possible. The air. of the sick room
should be Of uniform temperature, and
warm, yet purified by sufficient ventilation.
In early stages, what little diet the patient
eau take, should be farinaceous drinks,
such as gum water, barley water, thin
cruel, to which may be added decoction
of ripe fruit, or the juice of oranges or
fresh grapes, the indigestible portion being
carefully rejected. As the fever abates,
give tea, with toasted bread or crackers, or
little rice; then Indian mush, milk,
broths, lighter meats, eggs, oysters. In
this, as in other diseases, nature powerful
ly aids a sound constitution, aud with
good nursing, and little medical treat
ment, will often suffice.
