ScrATrcA AND NEuRALorA.-Dr. E5-
rard, Of Mines, states that no has foe
many years treated NIL his cases Of Sci
atica and neuralgia pains" with an i'm
provfsed apparatess consisting merely Of
q fiat-iton and vinegar, two things that
will be fornd in every house. The iron
is heated until sufficiently bot ~ vapor-
ize the vinegar, and is then covered with
some wooden fabric, which Is moistcned
with vinegar, and tho apparatus Is APP
piled at once 70 The painful spot. Tho
application may be rcpaatcdtwo or lbrco
times a day. DIR. Ebrard statcs thar,
as rule. the pain disappears in twenty.
four hours, and recovery cnsucs at once.
Medical PRorERyrEs OF Eeos. For
burns or scaids nothing is moro sooth-
ing than the whito of an egg, which may
be poured over the wound. II IL softer,
as q varnish for burn, than collodiop,
and being always Mt hand, can DO appl-
ed Immediately. II " also moro coolinJ
than the 'sreet oil and cotton which
was formerly supposed to DO the. surest
application to allay tho smarting pain.
IL is tue contract with the air which
gives the extreme discomfort, exper:en-
ced from ordinary accidents OF this
kind; and anything which excludes air
aud prevents inflammation Is the thing
to he at once applied.
The egg is also considered ono oftho
best remedies for dysentery. Beaten
up slightly with or without sugar ant
swallow at gulp, it tends by its emol-
lient qualities to lessen tho inflammation
OF tue stomach and intcstines, AMI by
forming transient coating on thosu
organs, TO enable nature to resume her
healthful sway over the diseased body.
Two, or at most, three eggs per day,
would be all that is required in ordinary
cases. and since the egg is not merely
medicine, but food as we'll, tho lightec
the diet otherwise, and the quieter tho
patient 10 kept, the moro certain and
rapid is the recovery.
1t is stated within few years that a
certain oil, to be obtained from tho yollss
OF boiled eggs, is OF great use in curing
cuts and bruises. This oil is obtained
by cooking the yolks over fresh lire.
They are stirred constantly till see ming.

o: oil is eliminated from each yolk, and
this strained and secured is said to
have wonderful healing properties Il
