The Providence Jo1rHol has the following
account of odd articles for which there are
many purchasers;
The demand for eye stones has fallen off
very largely, but they are kept still and
sold in considerable quantities The eye
stone will clear the eye There is no
doubt about that, but its movements are
regulated by its shape and by II formation
on the flat side or base of the stone, similar
to u blade in turbine water wheel. The
whole resembles shell just begun
before the cavity was formed, if shells
were so formed, but are not. The stone Is
composed of limestone, and vinegar or any
acid by its action upon il causes motion.
The stones are found in the sea shore on
the Pacific coast. Sailors gather them by
the quart and vcnd in trade centres. The
price is ten cents.
Blood stones arc also called for, not the
Kind known to seal rings and sleeve but
tons, but glass stones or beads of the color
of blood, dark red. These are worn to
prevent the nose bleed although the old
plan to prevent, namely to keep the nose
out of other persons business, is in use
still and works well. With II string
through The glass bead and the string
around the owners neck, the liability to
nose bleed is removed. The boodstoncs,
some of them, come from Germany.
Rattlesnakc oil will unlimber joints
afflicted with certain lamcncss as no other
oils or preparations will. 1t is called for
often and the buyers may get rattlesnaic
oil and they may not. 1t is said to be II
business of considerable importance in
North Carolina to capture rattlesnakcs and
from the fat to produce the OIL At all
events, rattlesnate oil is sold, and it is
supposed to cure marvelously. Skunk oil
is another cure-all for certain maladics.
