How to Cure "a Cold.

The whole fraternity of editors
aud all their readers owe debt of
gratitude to one Of their members,
the editor of the Danbury News,
tor a report of the following ease,
instituted by, though not practiced
on himself, but one Of his editorial
corps:
" He boiled a little boneset and
hoarhound together, aud drank
freely OF the tea before going to
bed. The next day he took five
pills, put one kind of plaster on his
breast, another under his arms, and
still another one on his back. Uu.
der advice from an experienced old
lady, he took these Off with an
oyster knife in the afternoon and
slapped on o mustard plaster in.
stead.
His mother put some onion
drafts on bis feet and gave him a
lump of tar to swallow. Then he
put some hot bricks to his feet and
went to bed. Next morning an.
other old lady came in with bot.
tie OF goose oil, aud gave him
dose on u quill, and an aunt ar
rived about the same time from
Bethel, with bundle of sweet
fern, which she made into tea and
gave him every half hour until
noon, when he took dose OF salts.
After dinner, his wife, who has
seen u fine old lady of experience
in doctoring, in Franklyu street,
gave him two pills of her make,
about the size of English walnuts
and of similar shape, and two
tablespoonful OF homemade bal
sam to keep them down. Then he
took half a pint Of hot rum, at the
suggestion of an old sea captain in
the next house, aud steamed his
legs with au alcohol bah. At this
crisis two of the neighbors ar
rived, who at once said that his
blood was out of order, and gave
him half u gallon OF spearmint tea
and u big dose OF castor oil. Before
going to bed he took new kind ol
pill, wrapped about bis neck u fan
mel soaked in hot vinegar aud salt,
aud had feathers burnt on a shovel
in his room. He is now fully cured
aud full of gratitude"

health, other things being equal,
we can almost accomplish every
thing we undertake. We can
travel from star to star, We can
dive into the depths of the earth,
explore its dark regions, can bring
up the hidden mysteries it con-
tains.
To take such q course as will
insure health to an advanced age
ia a proof OF wisdom. We were
placed IN the world to be useful !;
aud the longer We remain in it the
more good We can accomplish, if
we are endeavorlug to answer the
eud for which we were created.
To preserve our health, or regain
1t IL lost, is to prolong or regaiL
life. One eminent physiologist has
said that "health is lille = hence, to
impair the former is to destroy the
latter, and all its pleasures.
