One Of the very best remedies
that can be applied to wound
made by a rusty nail, and which
is almost infallible III its cure, is
to take quantity of peach leaves
beat them to pulp and then ap
ply them to the wound, and IN a
very short time an improvement
will be noted in the wound. At
this season of the year, when so
many persons are injured by
tramping on rusty nail, this
remedy should be noted. -Scien-
