Not less than l75 OF the best citizens of
Wise county alone have died during the
last few davs. The disease made its an
pearance in Lee county and several
deaths occurred. a more worthy people
never called more loudly for relief
than these. They need nurses, medi.

stop its terrible march.

An Alleged Cure for Hcadacle.

James Carley, of this town, jour.
halter, recently suffered for week
with severe headache. Every possible
remedy was resorted to without relief
Finally one of his shopmates informed
him that d. b. Wilkes, living in the
upper end of King street District,
could cure it without fail. According.
ly Carley set out to find the man who
possessed the panacca that could re-
lieve him from his untold suffering
Mr.. Wilkes, whose occupation is a
farmer, received him cordially and at
once assured him that he could cure
his headache. lie requested Carley to
accompany him to the old cider mill,
which they entered, and Mr.. Wilkes
pulled out from beneath the press Il box
covered with a coal sieve. From the
box he took q live black snake and
wound it around Carlcy's neck.
Strange as it may seem, almost instan-
taneously the pain left his Lead and
has not returned since. Mr.. Carley
and his friends vouch for his cure.
Mr.. Wilkes also cures sprains and
swellings in the same way. He ex-
plains tho matter on the principle of
animal electricity, which he supposes
that the snake possesses. If a cure is
cffecte.l in this way, the writer thinks
that the pain is frightened out CT the
patient by the horrid application,

how to make their hair of any fashion
able color desired. lie said:
blonde and auburn wigs were used,
and the natural hair was iri22ed with
curling tonES: and it took the women
hall day to arrange their hair. They
put poulticcs half IN inch thick Of
asses milk and bread, and of rice and

improve their compilations, painted
and whte-leaded tlIeir faces, and when
they went out for IN afternoon ride in
hot weather held Il ball Of amber in
one hand, and wound small living
snakes around their wrists to keep
them cool; knowing that if the wrists
were cold it reduced the temperature

A short time since two individuals
were lying in one room very sick, one
with brain fever and the other with an
aggravated case Of mumps. They were
so low that watchers were needed
every night, and it was thought doubt
ful il the one sick Of fever could re-
cover. A gentleman was engaged to
watch over night, his duty being to
wake the nurse whenever it became
necessary to administer medicine In
the course of the night both watcher
and nurse fell asleep, The man with
the mumps lay watching the clock, and
saw it was time to give the fever
patient his potion. lie was unable to
speak aloud or to move any portion Of
lis body except his arms, but Selling
apillow, he managed to strike the
watcher in the face with it, who, thus
suddenly awakened, sprang from his
seat, falling to the floor and awakened
both the nurse and the fever paticat.
The incident struck the nsick man as
very ludicrous AMI they laughed
heartily at it for some fifteen or TWEEN
ty minutes. When the doctor came in
the morning he found his patient vast
ly improved, said henever knew 50 sud-
den a turn for the better, and now
both are up and well. Who says
laughter is not the best OF medicines?
And this reminds the writer Of an
other case. A gentleman was suffer-
ing from an liberation of the threat
which at length became 50 swollen
that his life was despaired of. His
household came to his bedside to bid
him farewell. Each individual shook
hands with the dying man and then
went away weeping. Last of all came
a pet ape, and shaking the mans hand
went away also with its hands over
its eyes 1t was so ludicroEs d sight
that the patient was forced to laugh
and laughed so heartily that the ulcer
broke and his life was saved SoRHa- |
