(Sec Cancer, Cliromic Acid in, etc.) Pon't use enough to spread upon otner 

 parts. 



9. Warts, Simple and Easy Cure.— Rubbing warts night and 

 tnoruing with a moistened piece of muriate of ammonia (sal ammoniac), mil 

 cause their disappearance without pain or scar. 



10. Warts on Cows' Teats; or. The Hand's Remedy.— E. Wal- 

 cott asks ttie readers of the Detroit Tiibune for a remedy for warts upon cows' 

 teats, and " J. L.," of Maple, Mich., makes him the following answer: "Take 

 a handful of green bean leaves and rub them in the hands until the hands are 

 thoroughly wet with the juice; then proceed to milk. As often as the hands 

 get dry while milking, moisten again with tlie bean leaf juice. Do this twice 

 or three times a week, and in a f^w weeks there will be no warts on the cow's 

 teats or the hands of the milker. " 



1. SEASICKNESS, CURE FOR. — Dr. Landener, ot Athena 

 Greece, claims to have discovered that 10 to 12 drops of chloroform cures sea- 

 sickness. One dose cured 18 out of 20; the second dose cured the others. 



Remarks. — It is simple, easily obtained and not unpleasant to take in a lit- 

 tle water. And a lady who has had considerable experience in crossing parts 

 of Lake Erie informs me that the smelling of chloroform a few times has 

 relieved much of the nausea attending seasickness. So, also, my judgment is 

 that the taking and inhaling a little of it from the bottle will do great 

 good. 



2. English Remedy. — The bromide of sodium, for long voyages, has 

 been found very effectual in doses of 10 grs., 3 times a day, in treating 200 

 cases of ocean seasickness. — Dr. Kendall in British Medical Journal. 



Remarks. — The bromide of sodium was first used by the late Dr. Beard. 

 The indiscriminate use of oranges, lemons, brandy and champagne, Dr. Ken- 

 dall condemns, as making the case worse than without them. 



CALOMEL, a Substitute for, in Jaundice, Hepatic Dropsy, 

 TTypochondriosis, Hemorrhoids, Throat and Bronchial Inflam- 

 inationts, etc. — A medical Avriter says: " Sulphate of manganese is now being 

 introduced as a substitute for mercury m various bilious troubles. In jaundice, 

 hepatic dropsy (dropsy arising from liver dilficulties, and most generally affect- 

 ing the abdomen), hypochondriasis (a condition of melancholy, or low spirits) 

 it is stated to have produced most remarkable results; and in hemorrhoids, 

 (piles) and in congestion (inflammation, or an unnatural accumulation of blood) 

 of the throat and bronchial tubes it has proved no less efficacious. Anaemic 

 patients (persons of a pale or bloodless appearance), who cannot take any of 

 the preparations of iron, are enabled to take iron with benefit it combined with 

 2 to 5 grs. of sulphate of manganese. It is generally found preferable to 

 administer the manganese in 10 to 20 grs. dose, in a glass of water, adding a lit- 

 tle citrate cf magnesia to cause effervescence. By these doses large bilious 

 dejections (passages) are produced. Half a drachm (30 grs.) is said to be tht^ 

 Utmost dosfc ever necessary, 10 grains being usually quite sufficient."
