I will send you recipe for curing
warts, which / have tried and know it
to be sure cure Procure q wild tur-
nip out of the woods, cut a. piece of it
off and rub the inside OF it ON the wart
few times, and in a short time the
wart will be gone and will not leave any
scar at all. Ii the wart is large and raw
it will be little sore. L had nearly a
hundred warts on my hands, and put

CURE OF ScIATIcA AND NEURALGIA.-
DIR. Ebrard, OF Mines, states that he
has for many years treated all his cases
of scfatica and neuralgia pains with an
approved apparatus, consisting raerely
of a hat-iron and vinegar, two things
that will be found in every house. The
iron is heated until sufficiently hot to
vaporize the vinegar, and is then COW
cred with some wooden fabric, which is
moistened with vinegar, and the appa-
ratus isapplied at once to the painful
part. The application may be repeated
two or three times day. DR.. Ebrard
states that as a rule pain disappears in
twentyfour hours, and recovery ensues
at once.
REMEDIES FOR HIoooUGH.-Accord
ing to the Lyon Medicdle, DIR. Grellety
has observed that hiccough in children
was Immediately stopped by giving
them lump of sugar saturated with
table vinegar. The same remedy was
- Ill -. L.
Gus success. Another remedy, which
may be considered even more handy,
was mentioned by Russian priest to a
lady, and has always proved very eff
cacious. 1t consists in simply looking
fixedly, for about five minutes, at the
blade of an open penknife, without
either speaking or laughing. The rem
edy has been tried innumerable times.
and has never proved unsuccessful.
A Coop CURE FOR CATARRH.-A
good cure for catarrh is crushed cubeb
berries smoked in a pipe, emitting the
smoke through the nose. After few
trials this will be easy to do. If the
nose is stopped up so that it is almost
impossible to breathe, one pipeful will
make the head as clear as a bell. For
sore throat, asthma and bronchitis,
swallowing the smoke effects immedi
ate relief. 1t is the best remedy in the
world for offensive breath, and will
make the most foul breath pure and
sweet Sufferers from that horrid dis
ease. liberated catarrh, will find this
remedy unequaled, and months use
will cure the most obstinate case. Eat
ing the uncrushed berries is also good
for sore throat and bronchial COM
plants. After smoking do not expose
yourself to cold air for at least fifteen
minutes, and let the pipe be common
clay one, new and clean.
LOOK AT Your ToNGUE.-A man can
never be happy if his stomach is out of
order; and dyspepsia, hysteria, initiates
the symptoms of innumerable disor-
ders. But how, the reader may ask,
can I tell the illness from which think
i am suffering be real or imaginary?
At any rate, l should answer, look to
your stomach first, and, pray, just take
glance at your tongue. Ii ever was
SO far left to myself as to mediate some
rash act, should, before going into the
matter, have look at my tongue. If
it was not perfectly clear and moist,
should not consider myself perfectly
healthy, nor perfectly sane, and would
postpone my proceedings, in the hope
that my worldly prospects would get
brighter. What does a physician dis
cover by looking at the tongue? Many
things. The tongue sympathizes with
every triAing ailment of body or mind,
and more especially with the state of
the stomach. That thin, whitish layer
all over the surface most likely indi-
Gates indigestion. A patchy tongue
shows that the stomach is very much
out of order indeed. A yellow tongue
points to biliousness. A creamy, shiv-
ering, thick, indented tongue tells of
previous excuses; and do not like my
friends to wear such tongues, for sin
cerely believe that real comfort cannot
be secured in this world by any one who
does not keep his feet warm, his head
cool, and his tongue clean
+ The Sanitary Engineer offers a re-
ward of $500 for the best plan of a
model school house. Our small boy
will contest for that prize. His working
model is not yet ready, but we may state
/ that his idea of model school house
is one in which the teacher never hcks /;
where recess comes five times of morn
ing, vacation every other week, and ex-
animation never; where all studies are
elective, and chewing gum is insis ted
upon; where there is oeducation of
the sexes, provided the girls are pref ty,
and where there is no punishmen emf
for fellow save sending him to sit by
the girl to whom he was caught passing
notes.-Alba,1y Journal.
