ointment we mentioned before—consisting of 3j of finely powdered 
bi-chloride of mercury rubbed with §j of hogs’ lard—has likewise 
been highly commended as a remedy of this sort for windgalls.

ready—he was not inclined to partake of it; he went to bed, not 
to rest. The veterinarians, the cows that were gone, disturbed 
him; at last, hope, that balm of human misery, came to his relief. 
His friend, the manufacturer, had mentioned his brother was going 
to Hambro’;—that in Holstein he could buy a farm for the same 
sum he paid in rent. He slept. The next day he was half way 
across the German ocean. 
I was sitting in Pace’s cellar to see the captain with whom I 
was about to go to England. A pair of top boots were coming 
down the steps; I felt a jerk of the bench—it was electric; the
