SALT WITH NUTS.
One time, while enjoying visit from
an EnglIshman, hickory nuts were served
in the evening, when my English friend
called for salt, stating that he knew ofa
case of woman eating heartily OF
nuts in the evening, who was taken vio-
lently i'll. The celebrated Dr. Aberncthy
was sent for, but II was after he had be-
come too fond OF his cups and he was
not in n condition to 20. He muttcred
salt saliH' of which no notice was
taken. Nexi morning he went TO the
place and she was corpse. He said
had they given her salt it would have
relieved her, and If they would allow
him 10 make an examination he would
convince them. On opening the ctom-
ach the nuts were found in mass. He
sprinkied salt on this and it Immediately
dissolved. have known of sudden
death myself which appears to have
been the effect Of the same cause.
gen, rally eat salt with nuts, and think it
improves them.
