ITEMS OF INTELLIGENCE. 



Gucico. A plant bearing this name, was discovered 

 several years ago in the mountains of Venezuela, v^hicli is 

 said to possess surprising virtues as an antidote to poisons 

 whether infused by a venomous reptile, or rabid animal. 

 It is said to be efficacious also, in the rheumatism, gout, 

 asthma, liver complaints, and various other diseases, and 

 is applied both internally and e,\ternally, Silliman's 

 Journal for April, May and June, 1S33, contains a long 

 letter from Dr. Johnson, of Philadelphia describino- its 

 properties, and enumerating the cases in which it is 

 administered with success. It is strongly aromatic, and 

 has a bitter and almost acrid taste. It is extensively 

 used in Guiana, and in many parts of South Amer- 

 ica — and although its curative and anti-poisonous quali- 

 ties have been denied, we think it deserves examination 

 and experiment by the medical faculty. Doubtless many 

 of the marvellous stories that are told of its healing 

 powers are fictitious, yet it seems to be too extensively 

 used to warrant the belief that it is a useless herb. 

 Without trial no experience can be gained, and to reject 

 every thing whose virtues have not been fully tested in 

 our own education or practice, is at once to shut the 

 door upon improvement. Whether it would be effica- 

 cious in the cholera or not, can only be ascertained after 

 fair trial, -by physicians of skill, who are well acquainted 

 with its properties. 



On Saturc'ay alternorn the Worcester Railroad will 

 be opened to Hopkinton, a distance of 24 miles from the 

 city.

PATENT GRATER CIDER MILL. 



D.VNIEL LELAND having purchased the patent of Ihe 

 above-named Mills, would call the alteution of Farmers and 

 others in this vicinity, to the undersigned certificates of their 

 meriis, and feels confident that they are superior to any other 

 in use, for grinding apples. 



These Mills are drawn by one horse. Six, eight, ten, and 

 twelve feel wheels are used, some with one and some two 

 drums. They may be placed in a building, and so fi.xed as to 

 grind upon the press, or into a trough. The following certifi- 

 cates will probably give the public some proof of their value. 



" This may certify, that we the Subscribers have made use 

 of Joel Farnum's Patent Grater Cider Mill, for three years past. 

 We grind a cheese of cider in one quarter of the lime we did 

 in Ihe old mill ; it grinds better, makes more and better cider; 

 we giind upon the press, and save Ihe shoveling of the pumice 

 and the juice may be extracted iu less time. 



John Clark, 2d. 

 Medway, Augusts, 1833. James P. Clark." 



" This may certify, Ihal we the Subscribers have used the 

 above-named machine for three years last past, and approve of 

 the plan of grinding apples. Vie save one third part of labour 

 and time in grinding and laying up a cheeseof cider. Itgrinds 

 better than the old mills generally do, the cider is clearer and 

 contains less sediment; the cider is pressed out in less lime, 

 and the mills are kept in repair al less expense than Ihe old 

 "I'll*- Aaron Leland, 



Sherburne, Aug. 9, 1833. Joseph P. Lelard." 



"This may certify, thai I have assisted in the making of ci- 

 der in the abo\'e-narned mills, and consider it a valuable im- 

 provement in ihe making of cider. At one time we ground and 

 laid up, apples sufricienl for eight barrels of cider, in forty 

 minutes, by ihe walch. We save one half of Ihe lime, in 

 grinding and laying up the cheese. 

 Sherburne, Aug. 9, 1833. Jotham W. Rogers."

 tural Warehouse, where Mills are on hand or will be furiiished 

 at short notice, or to D.YNIEL LELAND, Sherburne.
