Jupiter has been the sunlight center
of a family of worlds, similar to the
solar system. The planet shows
cloud-like surface, beneath which the
surface of the planet is hidden. Jupi-

but only weighs 80 times as much,
and its center is filed with an intense,

The patient, Mr.. John Le'lford, had
borne it seven years on the side of his
nose. saw him and observed a
white scab and swelling with red
ness around it, which extended to the
eve and cheek. I advised him to try
tobacco on il, I saw him after a
weeks trial. The inflammation around
the scab had disappeared, and the
scab seemed smaller. When l last
saw him the scab was smaller and
seemed about to fail off and the sore
to disappear.
Sores inside the nose, attributed to
catarrhal irritation, and of long stan

putting into the nostrils p ug of wet
tobacco and keeping 1t there few

seems necessary that I should make
an explanatory statement. Though,

for each of your monthly numbers

to know how many letters of inquiry
are directed to me from different

ought to be used, and how it is to be
applied, and for what cases of injury

1t has been often stated that when
gout was relieved by wet cloths, or
some "ther soothing applications, it
has been tranferred to some other
part of the system, and in some in
stances attacked the stomach or heart
with fatal results. But when it has
been relieved by tobacco applica-
ton IN no instance, that have ever
heard of. has there been any subse-
quent evil result. This l attribute to
the penetrative power of the tobacco.
While it drives away the Inflammation
at the place of its application, it is
most powerful nerve stimulant, and
its influence is extended over the
whole system. When applied to the
head. or any part of the body, within
two hours its effects will be perceived
by relaxing influence on the lower
intestines and urinary organs. Nor
phine, in small doses, with many per-
sous. stimulates the nerves, but causes
constipation, while tobacco, though
it is even greater stimulant to the
nerves, is an aperlent to the intestinal
canal and urinary organs. l have
found that when I had a large plaster
of tobacco on my hip and loin to
