Chinese Medicines.

The Larvae Of beetles and other insects
are used incidentally TO give strength to
feeble children; dried toads are taken to
give tone to the system; caterpillar syr.
up is specific for bronchitis; and for
small pox the skins of snakes and scor
pions, dried aud powdered, are consid-
cred suffi ,ient remedies The horns Of
the rhinoccros, the bones of tigers, the
paws of bears, and the wings of bats all
have place in Chinese pharmacop@ia
The body of the bat eaten is said to
prolong life; to partake of the white bat

Rats Sucking Horses Blood.

A prominent horse e.dealer IN this city
told us the following curious story this
morning about the fancy his rats (as he
calls ihem) have for a change of diet !:
He keeps horse, and noticed lately that
it showed SYMPTOMS of lameness in his
fore legs. He examined him carefully.
but could not discover the cause. On
going to the stable one day he, before en-
tering, looked . through the window !;
then, to his astonisl ment, he counted
eleven rats stuck on the horses legs,
sucking bis blood. He waited, expect
ing every moment that the horse would
shake them off: but instead of doing
this he remained motionless, and seem
ed to enjoy the strange visitors. A rap
on the window sent the rats scurrying
off. On examination Of the horses leg
he found twenty-five little holes, from
eleven of which the blood was flowing.
The horse was removed to another stable,
and soon recovered from the sores; bul,
strange to say, his appetite has almos
failed him. He refuses oats, and, as q
conse queDce, has fallen off in fish, go
much so that now he is almost useless.

Cubeb Remedy for Catarrh.

The new remedy for catarrh consists
In crushed cubcb berries smoked in a
pipe, remitting the smoke through the
nose; after few trials this will be easy
to do. 1.-THE nose is stopped up SO that
it is almost impossible to breathe, one
pipeful will make the head as clear as a
bell. 1t is The best remedy in the world
for offensive breath, and will make the
most foul breath pure and sweet Suf
ferers from the horrid disease, liberated
eatarrh, will find this remedy unequalle1,
and mouths use will cure the most OBJ
stinate case. Eating the uncrushed ber-
ries is also good for sore throat and the
bronchial complaints. After smoking.
