party Of Freedom and the Union. II began by de-
handing the abandonment Of personal dislkes, and
set the example. IL called for end Of attacks upon
each other instead Of the enemy; and for the hearth
est agreement upon whatever Mt candidate the major
ity should put up against the common foe. Since
then the tide Of disaster has been turned back every
doubtful State has been won and the omens for Ma
tonAl victory were never more cheering

Rub the outside with little camphora-

Frost Bites.--The following is simple
remedy for frost bites. Extract the frost
by the application of ice water till the
frozen part is plIable, but let no artificial
heat touch it, then apply salve made
of equal parts of hogs lard and gun
powder, rubbed together until it forms a
paste, and in less than twenty-four hours
the frozen parts will be well.
Spratns.-If the sprain is nothing more
than a sprain-that is, if no bones are
broken or put out wrap the part in
several folds OF flannel which has been
wraDg out OF hot water, and cover 1t
with dry bandage, and rest it for some
days or even weeks. Entire rest at first,
and moderate rest afterward are abso.

in the ankle, the foot should be raised as
high as may be comfortable; IF in the
wrist it should be carried in sling.
10 ReRo0ce Warts.-The best applica-
/ ton is said to be that of nionnhyorated
nitric acid. The ordinary acid should
not be used because its caustic effects

touched, while the action Of the stronger
| acid here recommended is limited TO the
