Here it Is.

An epidemic of moderated human
epizOotic has broken out in this city
and many people are suffering with
severe colds accompanied with ex-
cruciating headache. A splendid
remedy for this is: On retiring
battle the feet and lower extremities
well in a mustard bath, toast the feet
afterwards then climb into bed be-
tween blankets. Then swallow a
good draught ofred pepper tea, spiked
with salt and vinegar. When the
patient awakes, the cold will be found
broken up, but caution should be
observed in subjecting ones self to too
sudden exposure Immediately after.

Remarkable Weather.

Some remarkable weather is report
ed from section of Cuileton county,
s. c., about twenty miles square. For
fourteen months following the great
earthquake of August, 1886, there was
an almost continuous droutll, during
which the total rainfall did not exceed
two inches. Streams and springs
dried, crops and cattle persisted for
want of water, and it was difficult for
people to obtain good drinking water.
A little over two months ago rain
began falling steadily in that section,
and for fifty-seven consecutive days
there were only two on which it did
not rain. All the low lands have
been turned into lakes, no crops have
been made, and the people are conse-
quently in deplorable condition.
