should be pursued in hard colds lfthere
is much fever. put tour drops of tincture
of aconite into the water: or sweeten it.
and make it little sour with sulehuric or
nitric acid. Add to the food pinch of
ginger or cayenne pepper. If there is
much swelling about the head. n mild
purge will be useful. The homepaths
give mercur vivus for slight colds. Gu

there will be q coal famine here, and
the price is already beyond the reach Of

pie now realize the great importance OF

Our citizens are now all absorbed in

who are not in Wheeling now, are
awaiting the result with great anxiety,

his merits would not add to the able
and numerous testimonials from all

the press during the last few months,

a Democrat, and a conscientious and
fearless one, even when il was scarcely

ginia to-day, to Mr.. Camden and few
other fearless Democrats.
