Smoke for Wounds.

A correspondent of the Country Gen tleman mentions the case of horse
 which was just ready to die of an old and festered wound. Fortunately, he adds, at this stage of the case an old Pennsyl. vsnia teamster came to our relief and recommended smoking with old shoes. A smoke was made of old shoes, soles and all cut 10 pieces ID A hog trough, and placed under the swollen parts In fe ' hours the swelling wholly subsided, and sore commenced dischsrging mstter-the horse was saved. Some years after thi heard two persons talking about a horse which had been gored in the abdomen In this case everything had been tried in vain. The poor creature must die. At my suggestion he was smoked, and when next heard from him the old horse was well. So much for old wounds. In the same year cut my foot with an OK The lady of the house seizing the foot while it was bleeding, held it over pan contain ing smoking tag locks. In few minutes the bleeding stopped, the smoke was re moved and a bandage applied to protect 1t from accidental blows The wound never maturated. and consequently never pained me. have seen this remedy tried in many similar cases, and always with the same results. Let the reader bear in mind that no linlment or salve, draw ing or healing, should be applied. You have merely to smoke the wound well, and nature will do the rest suppose the smoke of burning wood would pro duce the same result, but it would not be so manageable. There is a principle in the smoke of wood which, when applied to the flesh, cosgulates the albumen, thus rendering it unsusceptible of putref ton. The same principle stops bleeding by coagulating the blood It promotes healing, and may be applied with decided benefit to almost all ulcers. wounds and cutsneous diseases.

LEwIS-PILLING SUIT.
Business Differences Led TO Personal
HoStilltleS.

Hostilitles-
A suit instituted by Mr.. R. Byrd Lewis
as attorney, yesterday tells of a big
fight between some members of the Lewis
family and John w. Pilling, the real estate
broker.
Mr.. William F. Lewis, in an affidavit ac
companying the bill filed, says Mr.. Pilling
told him December 10, 1895, that he in
tended TO crush the whole Lewis family
from off the face OF the earth"
Mr. Lewis tod him as they had never met
before he did not see why he should be in
cluded.
Mr. Pilling replied that the sins of the
father ought not to be visited upon the son.
The case involves, Mr.. K. B. Lewis said,
an accounting for S160,000.
John ii. Lewis, the complainant, Is q con-
tractor and bsilder. He says that in 1890
Mr.. Pilling, who is an adjunct To the real
estate business of Thomas E. Wagganan,
proposed to him to enlarge his building
operations Mr.. PiIling would supply the
money. They went in together, bought lots
extensively, and Mr.. Lewis put his notes
for large sums into Mr.. Piliing's hands.
In the course OF transactions he sold out
right to Mr.. PiniDg notes aggregating S4o,-
900 for S37 900. giving him $4,000 profit.
He trusted Mr.. Piiling implicitly, not only
as a gentleman, but as friend and con-
fidential adviser. He allowed him to keep
all accounts He also gave Mr.. Pilling
SO 900 as a commission to prevent forced
sales, as he understood it. ~
Recently the sale of houses at Nos. dl2
to 722 L street northeast, belonging in part
to Mr.. Lewis, were advertised for sale to
satisfy trust. In this Mr.. Pulling, he al
leges. has not treated him fairly, and he
asks that the sale be enjoined. He also
asks that Mr., Pilling be forced TO give him
an accounting on all his notes aud their
transactions generally, and also be obliged
to make him good on all forced sales in the
course OF their business.
A restraining order was granted by Chief
Justice Bingham.
