(o the bottle being opplied, but soon became easy, 

 .ind fell into a sound sleep. The ne.it day he was 

 able to walk about and work as usual. Spirituous 

 liquors of any kind, or even warm wnter, will do 

 very well, as a substitute for spirits of turpentine. 

 The writer of this article thinks any kind of 

 spirit would do as well as spirit of turpentine. — 

 This we apprehend may be a great mistake. The 

 latter spirit is exceedingly active and penetrating, 

 and it may be, if the above statement is true, that 

 the turpentine, which seems to have been applied 

 to the wound, prevented the too frequent effect of 

 the bite of the rattle-snake. It might have de- 

 stroyed this animal poison by chemically decom- 

 posing it. We throw out this idea in the hipe 

 that those who may have an opportunity of ob- 

 serving the effect of the turpentine in accidents 

 of this bind, may decide whether it has any pre- 

 ventive or counteracting effect in these cases, or 

 not. We have seen many punctured wounds of 

 the feet, to which the spirit of turpentine was ap- 

 plied. The orifice of the puncture was enlarged. 

 No accident followed in a single instance. Whe- 

 ther the turpentine acted as a picventive in any, 

 or all of these instances, it is impossible to say ; 

 lliat it did so, in some of these cases, considering 

 ihat several of the punctures were deep and pain- 

 ful at first, and made by rusty nails, is only pre- 

 sumptive evidence, more or less probable. The

'^Varnish for Wood — The Italian cabinetwork

 To produce this effect, the workmen first saturate

 of varnifihing is equally brilliant, if not superior 

 to tbat employed by the French in their most 

 elaborate works — Blackwood's .Va«-.
